Andrea and Shawn had a gorgeous early September wedding at the Barn at Wight Farm in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Their day had so many fun personal details, beautiful early fall colors, and a relaxed celebration with their family and friends.


Andrea wore a beautiful lace wedding dress with fringe details and an awesome pair of boots. Shawn’s look fit the day perfectly with a vest, bolo tie, cowboy hat, and his own great pair of boots. The bridesmaids wore burnt orange dresses that brought a perfect early fall color to the wedding party.


Their ceremony took place inside the Alpheus Room at the Barn at Wight Farm, with their dog, Tater, joining the wedding party and making an adorable addition to the day. They also found a fun way to get the celebration started before the ceremony was even over. Members of the wedding party handed out drinks to guests as they came down the aisle, and everyone raised a glass for a toast at the end of the ceremony.


Afterward, we headed outside for all of their formal photos, starting with the wedding party and family before spending some time with Andrea and Shawn for their couple photos around the Barn at Wight Farm grounds.


Then it was inside for introductions, Andrea and Shawn’s first dance, parent dances, and some great toasts. One of our favorite moments was a toast from Andrea’s sister, who had written a poem especially for them.

During dinner, we snuck Andrea and Shawn outside for a few sunset photos. It gave them a chance to step away from the reception for a few minutes and gave us some beautiful early September light for another round of couple photos.


From there, it was back inside for a full dance floor. Andrea and Shawn spent the rest of the night dancing and celebrating with their family and friends, wrapping up a beautiful early September wedding at the Barn at Wight Farm.


Congratulations, Andrea and Shawn!
