Simple Summer Wedding at Hawthorn Estates

Gabi and Brad were married on a beautiful summer day back before Covid was a thing. Ah, the good old days, right?

They still wanted to get married, but they pivoted: everything would now be on the farm just outside of Stonewall, and since his family couldn’t be there, the guest list would be massively reduced to the bare minimum: the bride’s parents and siblings, my sister and myself, and the groom’s best man and his wife.

It may have been small, but dang, it was mighty.
