Kara + Ryan: Cairnwood Estate Wedding Photos

I love a winter wedding! The colors always pop against the grayer skies and bare trees. Kara + Ryan's Cairnwood wedding was no exception. The Cairnwood Estate provided a gorgeous backdrop for their portraits, and a cozy gathering inside to guard against the cold once the reception began.We've had a few weddings lately that have broken with the ballroom trend, separating out the reception space in to smaller rooms (like Stotesbury Mansion, Highlands Historical Society). It's a wonderful "best of both worlds" set up, allowing guests to retreat from the dance floor noise if they choose to catch up and enjoy more intimate conversations, while still offering all the high-energy dancing of a more typical affair.I have so many favorite images from this day to share with you -- enjoy!
