A Cinematic Autumn Wedding at Irongate Equestrian Center
Raylin and Mike’s fall wedding at the Irongate Equestrian Center was nothing short of magical. Set against the rustic elegance of one of Central Ohio’s most scenic venues, their day was filled with heartfelt moments, cinematic flair, and the kind of warmth only an October evening can bring.
Both Raylin and Mike, along with much of their bridal party, work in the film industry in Los Angeles. So, it’s no surprise their wedding felt like something straight out of a movie. Raylin, a classically trained dancer originally from Ohio, planned the entire event from across the country. Her attention to detail, artistic eye, and personal touch were visible in every part of the day—from the florals to the lighting, to the flow of the entire celebration.
Irongate provided the perfect backdrop: wide open fields, rustic woodwork, and an elegant reception hall filled with charm and character. Madison House Designs knocked it out of the park with floral arrangements that were as vibrant and grounded as the couple themselves. With rich autumnal tones and natural textures, the flowers tied beautifully into the fall landscape and venue design.
The reception space glowed under a canopy of twinkling string lights that stretched wall to wall, bathing everything in a soft, romantic light. It felt cozy and magical all at once—exactly what you want from a fall wedding. Outside, a fire pit and s’mores station offered guests a chance to take a break, warm up, and enjoy a bit of that nostalgic campfire feel. It was a detail that brought everyone together and set the tone for a relaxed, joyful evening.
One of the standout moments from the day was something none of us could have planned. While we were taking portraits in the fields, a curious horse trotted over to greet the newlyweds. Raylin and Mike shared a few quiet, awe-filled moments with their unexpected guest. It felt like nature itself had offered a blessing—and of course, the photos turned out stunning.
The evening wrapped up with a sparkler send-off under a crisp, starlit sky. Friends and family surrounded the couple, their faces glowing in the sparkler light, their joy infectious. It was the perfect close to a day that felt intentional, beautiful, and completely them.
Raylin and Mike’s wedding is a perfect example of how you can blend elegance with comfort, artistry with authenticity, and make magic—no matter how far you’re planning from.
