The Enchanting Fall Setting

Fall weddings are always a favorite of mine to document for their rich, vibrant color palettes and cozy ambiance, and this wedding was no exception! As guests arrived at Hollow Brook Golf Club, they were greeted by a canopy of autumn leaves in shades of amber, crimson, and gold. The ceremony took place on the balcony overlooking the course, where the natural beauty of the season complemented the couple’s vision for an elegant yet relaxed celebration.

The bride, radiant in her gatsby-inspired gown from Kleinfield Bridal, walked down the aisle to the soft strains of a string quartet, set against a wedding arch floral masterpiece created by Flowers By Angel and seasonal foliage. The ceremony itself was a heartfelt and intimate affair, with the couple exchanging vows surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Celebratory Elegance

Following the ceremony, the reception was held in the club’s sophisticated ballroom, where the fall theme continued. The tables were adorned with centerpieces of deep red roses and gold accents, and the venue was bathed in the warm glow of candlelight.
