Is there anything more beautiful than a wedding in October? Donavan Inn in Marion, Alabama was a beautiful setting for Carly and Mark’s wedding day! Their family and friends were so excited to finally witness these two come together in marriage. Carly looked beautiful in her timeless lace-sleeved wedding dress. And then there were the flowers, of course. The perfect amount of greenery and touches of deep red covered the venue! After the ceremony, these two along with their tight-knit family and friends danced the night away in the barn!

Carly and Mark, I am so happy to have met you two! Your sweet and calm spirits made for such a relaxing and fun day! You two are going to have such a beautiful marriage and I am blessed to have played a small role in this wedding season. Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your wedding day!
