Chapel First Touch and Vow Exchange

Howe Farm wedding Venue Chapel

One of the most meaningful moments of the day happened quietly inside the chapel during Carter and Mallory’s first touch and vows. Before the ceremony began, with guests gathered just outside, they chose to share a moment together without seeing one another. Standing back-to-back, hands intertwined, they prayed, laughed softly, and took a deep breath together before stepping into marriage. The chapel felt still in that moment surrounded by the quiet and anticipation of what was about to unfold, their first touch became a sacred pause- a reminder that before the celebration, before the guest, before the vows were them. It was intimate, intentional, and incredibly emotional, surrounded by faith, love, and years of history. The sweet stillness of the chapel made the moment even more powerful, setting the tone for the beautiful ceremony that followed.

Mallory was absolutely radiant on her wedding day — every detail of her look reflected elegance and grace. From her stunning gown to the way she carried herself with such poise, she truly took everyone’s breath away. Carter couldn’t keep his eyes off her, and you could feel the love between them in every glance and smile.

One of my favorite things about Mallory and Carter’s wedding was how intentional every detail felt. The soft blues they chose were so timeless and tied everything together perfectly. Their florals featured hydrangeas, which added such a beautiful, full look and honestly fit the day so well. It was one of those weddings where everything just felt right—simple, meaningful, and a true reflection of them.

Mallory and Carter were surrounded by such an incredible group of people. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen were so supportive, fun, and truly there for them in every moment of the day. From helping with the final touches to celebrating hard on the dance floor, this group brought so much joy and energy. You could tell how loved Mallory and Carter are, and it made their wedding day even more special to witness and photograph.

Dance Floor OPEN!!

Moments like these are why I love what I do. Watching generations of married couples take the dance floor together—some with years and years of history—was incredibly meaningful to witness and photograph.

Mallory and Carter’s wedding day was a true celebration of love. From the meaningful moments throughout the day to the joy-filled sparkler send-off at the end of the night, every part of their story was unforgettable. It was an honor to capture such a beautiful beginning to their forever.
