Spring Wedding at Shady Wagon Farm | Delaney and David

Steel Blue Spring Wedding at Shady Wagon Farm in Raleigh NC

Shady Wagon Farm Wedding | Delaney and David

Delaney and David are finally married!!! They had a beautiful spring wedding at Shady Wagon Farm, a rustic barn venue just outside of Raleigh, NC. Their wedding day started out getting ready at their home, and then heading to the venue to start getting ready and enjoy lunch!

One of my favorite moments from their day was Delaney’s first look with her bridesmaids! None of them had seen her dress before so they were so surprised and absolutely loved it! I’m also in love with the colors Delaney chose for bridesmaids dresses from Azazie! The steel blue is so in this year, and it photographs so well as a pop of color!

After doing bridal party portraits, we got ready for their ceremony at the pond where they were celebrated by their closest friends and family. Delaney and David didn’t do a first look before their ceremony, so seeing her walk down the aisle for the first time was such a special moment. Their unity ceremony was also super cool, because I’ve never seen anyone tie and actual knot together before! This “ties” into their crossfit background and personalities, which I love so much!

Right after their entrance into the reception, they surprised everyone by kicking off the night with dessert first! With how delicious all their cupcakes looked, I’m sure EVERYONE at the wedding appreciated this! Then they partied ALL night long with their friends, and this was such a fun dancing crowd.

Congratulations Delaney and David!! I am so glad I was able to be a part of your wedding day!
