{real wedding} michelle + colby's victorian porch wedding

My love for porch weddings continue with Michelle + Colby’s wedding. An intimate autumn courtyard wedding was followed by a cocktail hour on the front porch of the McKenzie House, an 1885 Victorian home located at the Sweetwater Branch Inn, a bed and breakfast in Gainesville, Florida.  The reception followed inside the house where the couple’s love of orchids was found throughout the Inn. 

 From Michelle, the bride: Colby and I painted clay pots orange and our florist used them for our orchid centerpieces.  Our venue, the beautiful and inviting Sweetwater Branch Inn, provided a unique opportunity for our closest friends and family to enjoy our wedding weekend with us.
