Hailee and Jarad’s wedding at Montrose Berry Farm

Southern Highlands

From their first email, Hailee and Jarad had me looking forward to their wedding at Montrose Berry Farm. When we met and talked through their plans, that excitement only grew.

The day brought beautiful light, thoughtful styling and a wonderful gathering of family and friends. Rain threatened a few times but held off when we needed it to. Most of all, I remember the warmth between them and the people who had come to celebrate.
