Wedding pictures from 06-02-2018
Nathan & Kelsey
I had been hearing about a new wedding venue near Broad Top. It is called Union Grove. Several people had mention it to me, but this was our first trip there. It is a beautiful location and has one thing that you can’t buy on Amazon, a view. We actually went to the venue on the day before the wedding to set up equipment. For this event I was not the photographer but the DJ. When we got there both my wife and i were in awe of the view. You could see most of Trough Creek Valley. It wasn’t even a real clear day. In fact, it was pretty humid.
We thought with the forecast the wedding would have to be moved inside but the rain held off and the ceremony was set up in back of the building. There is a small stage for the ceremony with electric in case you want to plug in a speaker or lights or something else for your service. I had wireless mics on the groom and the preacher. Unfortunately when the groom handed me his I noticed it was not turned on. It’s ok, I think everyone would hear him.
After the ceremony outside folks moved in to the building. There was a pretty good breeze blowing and although I believe there is air conditioning at Union Grove, it wasn’t needed. It was very comfortable.
We got through most of the dances and traditional wedding events fairly quickly. In fact, the bride mentioned to me that we were ahead of schedule.
If you read thought a lot of my posts here you will see a common comment I make, how beautiful things were. I will have to say it again for this wedding, it was a pretty perfect day.
If I have to say what would be most memorable about this day from where I was standing was when the father of the groom, a man I have known since high school, came to give the blessing and had to stop a couple times to gather himself. That was pretty cool. I did sneak a picture or two of that event.
I hope you enjoy the photos and we look forward to the next time we are scheduled at Union Grove LLC. I’ll post more on my facebook page later.
