Gradually blogging through weddings from late 2019 during this quarantine and this winter 48 Fields Wedding was one of my favorites! Sarah and Chris are the most down to earth and fun couple. See their engagement session here. Their wedding day was a gorgeous December day with lots of sunshine and love. From the florals and details to the entertainment and decor, no detail Sarah and Chris choose for their wedding was left unnoticed.
This was my first wedding at 48 Fields and my second time visiting the venue. I had photographed a styled shoot earlier in 2019. I loved that the the venue totally transformed the bridal getting ready area. Now it’s an amazing space with lots of windows, light, and perfect for getting ready images.
