Alex and JD had a magical and intimate wedding celebration with their nearest and dearest and the Gathered was the perfect wedding venue for these two laid-back outdoor-loving humans. The family-run venue catered a completely vegetarian meal for all the guests and it was honestly the most delicious food I have ever personally eaten as a wedding photographer. Alex and JD let the venue speak for itself and brought in minimal decor. They wanted to keep it simple and focus on the things that really mattered: their love for each other and their loved ones… and having a good time while doing it! These two laughed all day long and the jokes were non-stop.
