Hannah & Justin - Pinterest Wedding - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Hannah and Justin's wedding last Saturday came just after severe weather the night before, which threatened to keep them all trapped in the basement instead of decorating the reception hall!  Thankfully the sun was shining and the pews were packed at Blue Springs Church of God in Strawberry Plains-- I think this is the first wedding we've shot with standing room only!  Every last amazing decorative detail was in place for the big day in spite of the weather.  With the help of Pinterest, Hannah and her mom (I don't think Justin was involved in sewing anything, but I may be mistaken!) created a beautiful vintage setting using soft calico fabric and burlap, combined with vintage silver goblets and antique items scattered throughout the hall, all splashed with very modern and peppy pink.  Who says a church's function hall can't be gorgeous?  Or sweet?  Thankfully, everyone at this wedding agreed that the cotton candy made fresh right there, the candy table (complete, of course, with an old kitchen scale--love it!) and pink lemonade were all welcome treats.  The beautiful rose and pearl cake by Traci Lay pulled together the vintage and the sweet, and did I mention the white feathers in the bouquets?  Such a cool addition.  Even though of all the details were a photographer's dream,  it's always the people that make a wedding special.  And based on every interaction Joshua and I had throughout the day with Hannah, Justin, and their friends and family, this was a very special wedding indeed.  --Jaclyn
