Madeline & Brent Fallis's Wedding

As a wedding photographer, I've seen my fair share of stunning venues, beautiful sunsets, and happy couples. But Madeline and Brent Fallis's wedding at The Meadows in Stirling was truly something special.

The day started out with a bang - or rather, a shave. Brent's best man, clearly feeling the pressure of the big day, decided to give Brent a hot shave that morning. Now, as a photographer, I've seen some unusual groomsmen gifts, but this one definitely takes the cake. I have to say, though, Brent looked like a million bucks after his close shave.

And speaking of looking like a million bucks, Madeline was an absolute vision in her stunning gown. She got ready in the family home, which was a stunning location for photos. The lighting was perfect, the décor was beautiful, and the whole atmosphere was just so warm and welcoming. It was the perfect place for Madeline to prepare for her big day.

When we arrived at The Meadows for the ceremony, I have to admit, I was a little distracted I am absolutley in LOVE WITH the Venue. So we ran down to the forest for a first look that i can only describe as MAGICAL.

But back to the ceremony - it was absolutely beautiful. The sun was setting behind the couple, casting a warm, golden glow over everything. And the love between Madeline and Brent was palpable. It was the kind of moment that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

As we moved on to the reception, I couldn't help but feel excited for this couple. They have big plans for the future, with lots of travels on the horizon. And with the love and support of their friends and family, I know they'll have a lifetime of happiness together. Madeline's father had a little extra special treat in mind for dessert with ice cream from the family business Reid’s Dairy for the guests to enjoy after dinner. Now that's my kind of wedding!

All in all, Madeline and Brent's wedding was a day filled with laughter, love, and a few surprises (hot shaves, anyone?). And as a photographer, I couldn't have asked for a more fun and creative couple to work with. I wish them all the happiness in the world as they start their new adventure together - with plenty of ice cream stops along the way, of course!
