Jessica + Ryan | Overlook Farm Wedding Photography

Happy Friday! What an added bonus – a 3 day weekend! I almost didn’t even realize it was a holiday weekend! 🙂

Have you ever been to Overlook Farm in Clarksville, MO? If not, it’s a must-go for a little romantic bed + breakfast getaway! Ryan and I took his parents there to celebrate their 45th Wedding Anniversary recently. We first experienced some great times on the farm at Jessica + Ryan’s Ralph Lauren-esq wedding! I love everything about this special day, Jessica’s layered lace dress, the colorful flowers!, (location, location, location), the farm-to-table food, and of course, the groom. He definitely wins for best-dressed –  one of my absolute favorite looks. 🙂

So maybe the day didn’t go quite as planned, but oh well! That beautiful sunny day we started with ended quickly with a down pour right before the ceremony. White chairs all in place and lemonade ready to quench the thirst of warm + toasty guests – unfortunately it all got moved inside. 🙁 One thing I liked about Overlook is that they waited to make the final call, only after consulting with the couple, just 15 minutes before the ceremony!! With a quick change they turned the inside of Avalon Hall to hold the ceremony. (The same place where the king’s tables were lined up for the reception dinner.) Crazy to think they were standing in front of a lit fireplace in late June to say their vows! Unheard of! But of course, with the ceremony underway, the sky began to clear and that sunshine started all over again to give the guests the opportunity to have cocktail hour outside taking in the views and celebrating with the happy couple after the ceremony.

We had more than a ball on this day! Thank you Jessica + Ryan for sharing this wonderful place with us. 🙂

Enjoy the photos + your weekend!
