Jessica & Jonathan’s Intimate Summer Garden Wedding- Heartwood Hall, Memphis

Wedding Planning

From the moment Jessica and Jonathan met, they knew they were meant to be together. They also knew that they wanted to work together to plan their dream wedding, complete with a romantic, fun, outdoor theme that would capture the beauty of their love.

After choosing a date based on Jonathan's coaching schedule, the couple set out to find the perfect venue for their special day. As soon as they set foot on the picturesque grounds of Heartwood Hall, they knew it was the ideal location for their wedding celebration. Jessica was particularly enamored with the lush gardens and stunning scenery of the property, which perfectly matched the romantic summer theme they had in mind.

With their hearts set on Heartwood Hall, the couple wasted no time in tackling the rest of the planning together. They wanted to ensure that every detail of their big day reflected their love and commitment to each other, while also providing a magical experience for their family and friends.

From the elegant floral arrangements to the blush pink bridesmaid dresses, every aspect of the wedding was carefully chosen to create a romantic and intimate atmosphere. The couple exchanged their vows in a picturesque outdoor ceremony, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their family and friends.

The FIrst Look

One of the most special things on wedding day was the first look Jessica said. “It was a moment that we both highly anticipated and there were a lot of raw emotions leading up to it and during it. Such a sweet and intimate moment!”

“The first look images are probably our favorites just simply because the moment was so special and the facial expressions were so good. But every picture in our gallery was exciting to see because every picture was intentional and authentic,” Jessica said.

Wedding Emotions

“I tried to take in every moment to the fullest. It was such a fast day filled with so many special moments. But I would tell myself throughout the day to stay calm, not sweat the small things and to just take it in. It was a day that we had put so much time and preparation in for plus it was such a special day for us!”

“I felt the overall vibe was relaxed, fun, intimate and very warm. I overall felt calm despite the heat and the day going by so fast. Morgan gave us pep talks and reassurance throughout the day and came prepared for the heat and many photos.”

The Reception

After the picturesque outdoor ceremony, the reception was a lively and joyous celebration of the couple's love. The evening was filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt speeches from family and friends.

But the highlight of the reception was when Jonathan's friends surprised Jessica with a dance during the garter toss. The dance was a fun and playful way for the groomsmen to show their support for the couple and to welcome Jessica into their close-knit group.

The surprise dance was a big hit with everyone at the reception, and it was a moment that Jessica and Jonathan will always cherish. It’s still the talk of the evening!

The rest of the reception was just as lively and memorable, with the couple and their guests dancing the night away under the cafe string lights in the barn. From the delicious food to the heartfelt speeches, every moment of the reception was filled with love, laughter, and joy.

As the night came to a close, Jessica and Jonathan looked back on their wedding day with overwhelming happiness. Their wedding at Heartwood Hall was a true celebration of their love, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their family and friends.

“We felt very loved and celebrated by our guests! They complimented the food, our venue, and the overall wedding!” Jessica said.

Jessica and Jonathan’s summer day was the perfect mix of fun and class, sweet moments and joyful laughs. Thank you to the couple for allowing me to celebrate with you!

-Lots of love and cheers,

Morgan
