Arrowhead Hill Wedding

Arrowhead Hill wedding venue is a dream! Nestled on beautiful acreage in Montgomery, Texas sits a ranch style barn venue with a beautiful white chapel and a weathered gray gathering space. Arrowhead Hill offers onsite accommodations with the cutest cottages. Darian and Aaron were drawn to this venue and knew it was exactly where they wanted to say “I Do”.

Darian and Aaron wanted to make sure their wedding day was filled with laughter and family. They choose not to having a wedding party so that they could intentional focus on each other. There were so many special moments amongst the family members. I have never seen anything quite like it!

Getting Ready at Arrowhead Hill

As soon as I arrived and saw Darian’s bouquet, I was immediately obsessed with the color palette she choose for her big day. Combining orange, red, wine, rust, gold and avocado green was simply perfection. Colorful and bold! Her bouquet itself was such a statement piece. Darian wanted two different looks for her big day, so she had one hairstyle for the first look and one for the ceremony. I absolutely love when brides go all out on hair and makeup. Being detailed oriented, Darian wanted me to focus on capturing beautiful flatlay photographs. I certainly did my happy dance when she shared this with me because flatlays are my jam!  Darian grew up with horses so she incorporated a monogrammed bridle bit from her horse for the detailed shots.

Precious “First” Moments

Darian and Aaron had an intimate first look, but before those moments, she presented her father with a special gift. It was a monogrammed handkerchief with their wedding date on it. It is always a privilege to witness the special bond between father and daughter. When Aaron set his eyes on his bride for the first time, tears were shed. It finally hit him that he was going to marry the woman of his dreams. After they shared some private moments, we roamed the grounds of Arrowhead Hill to capture their bride and groom portraits.

The Ceremony

There was not a dry eye in the house after this ceremony was over. The love these two share for each other runs deep and is such an inspiration. Darian and Aaron rang the Arrowhead Hill bell after the ceremony and it was a moment we will all cherish!

The Gathering Space Reception

With family and friend by their side, Darian and Aaron had a vibrant and energetic reception. Darian continued to incorporate the bold color elements by sprinkling pomegranates, figs, oranges and blueberries onto the tablescapes. The hunter green table cloths were dramatic and made for a stunning site. Guest danced the night away! And with no detail left undone, the guest enjoyed a late night Chick-Fil-A snack before sending the newlyweds off. The night ended with a fireworks display and let me tell you, sparks flew!!!

 

Congratulations, Mr. & Mr. LaMance! It has been such an honor being a part of your journey to the altar. Thank you for letting me capture your beautiful day. I wish you the very best as you go forth together as husband and wife.
