I was so excited for Jaclyn and Ryan’s Brooksby Farm wedding! They are the kind of couple that you just can't help cheering for - through their smiles and tears, they radiated a deep love for each other that has lasted through many years already. They met in high school - a perfect match, for sure! And I knew this was going to be a super fun and warm wedding since I photographed Jaclyn’s BFF Julie’s wedding in 2010. I loved being around this crew again for this beautiful day!

And Brooksby Farm is quickly becoming one of my favorite wedding venues North of Boston! I love farm weddings, and Brooksby and Smith Barn are classic New England, with the big red barn, with farmland, right there in Peabody (it’s so close to the mall, it’s crazy, you would have no idea!). Definitely a unique place to have a wedding on the Northshore.

Ceremony: Woodland Gardens at Brooksby Farm, Peabody, MA

Reception: Smith Barn, Brooksby Farm, Peabody, MA

Keep scrolling for (so many!) photos of this Brooksby farm wedding!

I love how all of Jaclyn's bridesmaids just wanted to surround her all day...

Love these simple but rustic floral bouquets.

We set up a first look for them before the ceremony -

A few emotional moments...

Even though they had just done the first look a few minutes before the ceremony began, it was still an emotional moment when Jaclyn walked down the aisle.

Awww… the way Ryan looks at Jaclyn is just too sweet.

So pretty in the gardens at Brooksby Farms for a wedding ceremony!

They are naturals in front of the camera - we had such a great time walking around the farm and getting these shots.

This is such a cute idea (with the pinkies & rings) that Jaclyn found on Pinterest! I definitely encourage my clients to take a look around and see if they have any images or photo ideas in their heads they want to happen on their wedding day :)
