Morgan and Tyler were married on an absolutely perfect August Castle Farms wedding day. Both Morgan and Tyler are literally the sweetest humans known to mankind, so I was so excited to share their special day with them and help capture all their wedding day memories.

From their details all the way to their sparkler exit at the end of the night, every moment of their day was stunning and so sweet!

Congratulations, Morgan & Tyler!

Scroll through the blog to see just a few highlights from their stunning August Castle Farms wedding day!

Morgan and Tyler shared the sweetest first look in the Butterfly Garden at Castle Farms. I love it when couples decide to share first looks before the ceremony. It’s always such a sweet intimate moment, and the Butterfly Garden is the perfect place to do that!

After their sweet first look, we had lots of time to get gorgeous images of Morgan & Tyler together. There’s so many amazing spots at Castle Farms for stunning photos, and we definitely got to take advantage! Morgan was especially excited for all the photos, which I love! The more time for photos, the better! I love being able to give my couples tons of stunning images when I deliver their gallery!

The ceremony is always one of my favorite parts of your wedding day. And you really can’t go wrong with a ceremony in the Queen’s Courtyard at Castle Farms. Such a magical setting!

Morgan & Tyler had their August Castle Farms wedding reception in the East Garden Room. I absoluely love how much natural light there is in the East Garden Room. It’s literally a photographer’s dream!

Of course, we had to sneak out of the reception for just a little bit to get some sunset photos. Morgan & Tyler also wanted to share a drink with their custom champagne flutes they got when they got engaged. We used these during their engagement session too! So I loved seeing them again at their wedding! Plus, I mean, who doesn’t want to walk around a castle with a glass of wine in hand and take gorgeous pictures?

We ended the night with an amazing sparkler exit in the front couryard at Castle Farms. I’m obsessed with sparkler exits, so I always love it when my couples decide to have one. The pictures from our sparkler exit at Castle Farms when we got married are still some of my favorite pictures of our own wedding even now, 5 years later.
