Abby & Greg's Halloween Wedding at the Stables
Abby & Greg's Halloween Wedding at the Stables
The wedding day is already such a joyous event, but mix that with a festival known for spooky fun and adventure, and you get to enjoy two things in one! I witnessed this firsthand when Abby and Greg threw a fun Halloween-inspired wedding at The Stables, Whitehouse. It was an elegant and sophisticated affair at this modern barn wedding venue with, of course, the classic Halloween vibes. I love it when my couples get creative with their wedding planning, and Abbey and Greg (and their guests) certainly went all out!
The Stables Wedding Photography
Abby and Greg chose Halloween 2020 as their wedding day, and therefore, not only did their guests get to attend a beautiful wedding, but they also celebrated Halloween going crazy on the dance floor. On the morning of the wedding day, I started taking pictures of Abby with her bridesmaids and took some detail shots of her intricate lace bridal dress, which deserved its own spotlight.
After her hair and makeup, I took some photos of the bride as she got into her bridal dress and added the final touches to her look before leaving for the ceremony. We then moved outdoors for some photos in the natural light, and I have to say, not only did Abby have that bridal glow, she just couldn't stop smiling, which was definitely great for the photos! Then, as the bride and her girl gang got busy talking about the day ahead, I got some sweet candids!
I also took some great photos of Greg and his squad. The groom looked dapper in his charcoal grey suit and a maroon tie. I got the chance to get a little creative with the smoke from the cigars and the shadows and got some great photos of the groom just joking around with the groomsmen.
During Abby's first look for Greg, I once again got to experience that special moment that warms my heart at every wedding. Greg was super delighted to see Abby in her bridal dress and smiled and wiped his tears at the same time. The two held hands, hugged, and spent some sweet time together before moving to the ceremony site. This is one of the few chances when I get to really capture the love between my bride and groom on their wedding day, and as always, I took advantage of it this time too.
For the ceremony, everyone wore masks matching their attire. Abby's dad walked her down the aisle, and the couple said their I dos in the presence of their loved ones. The highlight of the ceremony was the cute little flower girl and the dashing ring bearer! This little gentleman had a ring security box, an agent ID, and sunglasses on, and that's probably why nobody dared to mess with him! He took his job seriously and safely delivered the rings.
Abby and Greg's reception hall was Halloween central with a skull on one of the tables, a skeleton on the candy cart, Halloween masks for guests, carved pumpkins, and gorgeous fairy lighting. There were candles at the dinner tables, and some of the guests honored the festival spirit and chose to wear their costumes for the reception.
