A Picture-Perfect Fall Wedding: Holly & Brannon's Magical Day at Haue Valley

There’s something truly magical about a fall wedding at Haue Valley. The crisp autumn air, golden leaves, and rustic elegance of the venue created the perfect backdrop for Holly & Brannon’s unforgettable day. From the moment the sun rose over the rolling hills to the twinkling lights of their evening reception, every detail was carefully planned to maximize their wedding portrait coverage while keeping the day’s flow seamless and stress-free.


Crafting the Perfect Timeline for Holly & Brannon

One of the best ways to ensure a couple gets the most out of their wedding day photography is by creating a customized timeline. For Holly & Brannon, we structured their day to allow ample time for portraits while still letting them enjoy every moment with their guests.

We started the morning in Haue Valley’s beautiful bridal suite, where Holly and her bridesmaids sipped champagne and got ready in the bright, airy space. The suite provided the perfect setting for those dreamy getting-ready shots, complete with a private balcony overlooking the property. Meanwhile, Brannon and his groomsmen enjoyed the groom’s suite, where laughter and excitement filled the air.

Rather than waiting until after the ceremony for portraits, Holly & Brannon opted for a first look, which allowed them to share an intimate moment before the festivities began. This also meant we could take advantage of Haue Valley’s breathtaking portrait locations while the lighting was soft and golden.
