A Beautiful Wedding Day at The Venue on Fairfield in Chesnee, South Carolina


There are few settings as magical as a wedding held on a picturesque farm, and that’s exactly what we had the privilege of witnessing at The Venue on Fairfield in Chesnee, South Carolina. With its rustic charm and expansive beauty, the farm was the perfect backdrop for a love story that unfolded in the most breathtaking way. From the moment Michelle and Jacob Briggs began their preparations to the final sparkler exit, it was a day filled with emotion, joy, and unforgettable memories.

Getting Ready: Anticipation and Beauty


The day began with a quiet buzz of excitement as Michelle and her bridesmaids gathered in the cozy bridal suite. Surrounded by vintage touches and soft lighting, Michelle, radiant and serene, slipped into her stunning wedding gown. The dress, an elegant blend of delicate lace and flowing chiffon, hugged her figure beautifully, capturing the essence of timeless romance.


Meanwhile, Jacob and his groomsmen were in high spirits, preparing for the ceremony. Jacob, looking handsome in his tailored suit, shared a quiet moment with his closest friends, exchanging laughs and anticipation for the day ahead. It was a moment of calm before the whirlwind of emotions that would follow.

The Details: Every Element Was Perfect


No detail was overlooked, and each element of the day spoke volumes about Michelle and Jacob’s love story. Michelle’s shoes, delicate ivory heels with just a hint of sparkle, were a perfect match for her gown. The wedding rings, simple yet elegant, symbolized their everlasting commitment to one another. Each item, from the bouquet to the boutonnieres, was carefully chosen to reflect the couple's style and love for each other.

The Ceremony: A Heartfelt Vow Exchange


The ceremony was held outdoors, with the expansive fields of The Venue on Fairfield serving as the ideal backdrop. As guests gathered under a beautifully draped archway, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and love. Michelle, walking down the aisle with a look of pure joy, was escorted by her father, her beauty radiant in the sunlight.


Jacob stood waiting, his eyes fixed on his bride, and there was a collective sigh as they finally saw each other. The vows exchanged were personal and heartfelt, a true reflection of their deep connection. As they sealed their promises with a kiss, it was impossible not to feel the love that surrounded them. The rustic farm setting, with its rolling hills and natural beauty, made the moment feel even more intimate and special.

The Reception: Heartwarming Speeches and Celebrations


The reception followed, and guests were welcomed into a beautifully decorated barn, with fairy lights twinkling above and tables set with elegant centerpieces. The warm, cozy atmosphere of the venue combined with the couple’s personal touches created a space that felt both intimate and inviting.


As the evening progressed, family and friends took turns offering speeches that moved everyone to tears. Michelle’s maid of honor and sister spoke of their deep bonds, and Jacob’s best man shared stories of their shared adventures. However, it was the heartfelt words from Michelle and Jacob’s family and friends that truly tugged at everyone’s heartstrings. They spoke of watching this couple grow and their immense pride in the love that had blossomed between them.


There was plenty of dancing, laughter, and joy as the night wore on, with guests celebrating Michelle and Jacob’s new journey together. The couple shared their first dance surrounded by loved ones, with the barn’s rustic charm providing the perfect setting for such an intimate moment.

My Role: Photographing and Coordinating Their Dream Day


As the photographer and wedding coordinator, I had the honor of capturing every beautiful moment of Michelle and Jacob’s wedding day while also ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish. From the early moments of the day to the final sparkler exit, I was there to document the smiles, the laughter, and the love that flowed throughout the day.


I worked closely with Michelle and Jacob throughout the planning process, helping them organize and coordinate the details, from timeline management to ensuring every vendor was in sync. On the wedding day itself, I was able to assist with any last-minute details, ensuring the couple could relax and enjoy their celebration.


As the photographer, I focused on capturing the little moments that made the day so special—the tender glance between Michelle and Jacob during the ceremony, the joyful celebrations on the dance floor, and the sparkling sendoff at the end of the night. It was an absolute joy to be part of such a beautiful event and to create memories that Michelle and Jacob will cherish for years to come.

The Sparkler Exit: A Magical Sendoff


As the night came to a close, Michelle and Jacob made their grand exit through a tunnel of sparklers held by their friends and family. The glowing lights created a magical atmosphere as the couple ran through the sparkling tunnel, smiling and waving, ready to embark on their next chapter as husband and wife.


Their sparkler exit was the perfect end to a perfect day, a celebration of love, family, and a future full of promise. The beauty of the venue, combined with the warmth of the people around them, made it clear that this was a day they would never forget.
