Cody + Haley
A Wedding at The Barn at Water Oaks Farm
A wedding at The Barn at Water Oaks Farm is truly a beautiful experience with its sprawling landscape and rustic style it is full of classic southern charm.
It is simply a southern brides dream venue,
and set the tone for the Jones wedding perfectly!
It seems so fitting that this wedding, this couple and this young bride would inspire me to tell their story that was so beautifully shared on their wedding day. I have known Haley and her family for a long time, they are a very dear and close to my heart. Haley was also my first assistant so, not only have I watched her grow she has seen my growth as well. I have also been blessed to be able to capture some special and precious moments in her life, from senior portraits to the births of their first and second child
the engagement and now their wedding day.
Their wedding day was beautiful, we never let the rain hinder us from capturing the excitement of this moment, as the rain dissipated and the sun began to shine, so did the bride and groom. This was their day, and it was a beautiful example of the love and dedication they have for each other. I believe that this was evident to the family and friends that were there to share in their moment. One of the many special touches was Haley's grandfather who is a minister, performed the wedding ceremony his thoughtful words of wisdom and God's love that he spoke over the Cody and Haley were heartfelt and moving. I wondered to myself if he was thinking about his own wedding day, in which he and his bride had just celebrated 60 years of marriage. Cody and Haley both shared their handwritten vows of promise and enduring love with each other. I know, I myself shed a few joyous tears during this ceremony. Many special memories were made here at this Memorial Day wedding.
This beautiful family full of faith, devotion and dedication to one another is an example of what
marriage, family and commitment is all about.
I pray the Lord's continued blessings over Cody, Haley, Quinn and Callahan as they begin this new chapter together as one. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Jones!
