Have a 8 Chains North Wedding, it’s a perfect winery to celebrate the next chapter of your love story. Which is exactly what Sarah & Derek did. After years of long distance and a global pandemic, Sarah & Derek where ready to start their married life. They knew they wanted to have an intimate wedding. Something with their closest loved ones at a beautiful location. The guest list was small, but the details were still important. They chose 8 chains not only because of the beautiful property and great wines, but because they have micro wedding packages, which made planning easy!
When I talked with them pre-wedding I knew right away, they were going to be so much fun and laid-back. The day of the wedding came and everything was perfect. Sarah had a few of her dearest ladies helpe her get ready as they toasted champagne and made sure every hair was in place. And Derek greeted the rest of their party as they arrived.
Their ceremony took place under the most beautifully decorated birch arch, creamy white and peachy flowers covered the ceremony backdrop. The location of a ceremony at an 8 chains North Wedding is always a pretty sight. But even more beautiful was the way these two looked at each other and smiled at their loved ones. The icing on the cake was their two fur babies. They made an appearance for the ceremony and post ceremony photos.
While the guests enjoyed a cocktail hour, we toured the property for all the perfect photos spots as the sun began to set. And as we finished Sarah & Derek joined their guests to wrap up cocktail hour and enjoy a delicious dinner. The reception decor was nothing short of stunning. flowers and greenery everywhere and on long table for everyone to enjoy dinner with the newlyweds.
I truly loved being a part their day. Capturing these intimate and sweet moments for them is rewarding!












































The micro wedding trend may have started because of a world wide pandemic and the need to not have large groups together, but I think it’s one of the best things to happen to the wedding industry. Intimate and gorgeous events are here to stay. Cheers to the Newlyweds and micro wedding gorgeousness.
