Lily and Dean’s Yew Dell Botanical Gardens wedding blended elegance, natural beauty, and heartfelt faith in the most unforgettable way. The lush gardens, vibrant blooms, and timeless architecture created an incredible backdrop for their Christ-centered celebration. As a wedding photographer, I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting.
A Perfect Summer Wedding at Yew Dell
The day began with Lily getting ready in the charming garden cottage with her girls. Early afternoon light poured through the windows as she stepped into her gown. She shared a special first look with her dad, a super sweet moment! Meanwhile, Dean greeted prepared to see his bride for their first look. In the picturesque tree walk, their shared their private vows which was one of my favorite moments of their whole wedding day!
Following the first look and vows, we explored the property for portraits. We moved throughout the property, capturing quiet smiles and joyful laughter. Every corner of Yew Dell offered a new burst of inspiration and their happiness radiated in every frame. Their bridal party brought lots of energy and it was so much fun to capture their friendship!
From the moment Lily walked down the aisle toward Dean, their joy was undeniable. Their ceremony overflowed with Scripture and heartfelt prayer for their future together. Despite the mid-August heat, the crowd was beaming as Lily and Dean shared their first kiss as husband and wife and were officially married!
As the sun set, guests gathered under the pavilion for the reception. Beneath twinkling lights and a beautiful sunset, they shared delicious Italian food, toasted to the couple’s future, and danced the night away. We snuck away for a few sunset photos in front of the newly renovated caste at Yew Dell. Afterwards, Lily and Dean hit the dance floor with their friends and family.
Congratulations to The Farmers!
From start to finish, their day reflected both their deep love and their unwavering faith—a celebration as beautiful and intentional as the life they are building together.
