TJ & Brianna's Wedding at Carlee Farm

TJ and Brianna got married at Carlee Farm, and if you want proof that a wedding day never goes exactly to script, ask them about their cake-cutting moment — a dramatic faceplant that had their whole reception laughing before the night was even close to over. It’s the kind of real, unscripted moment I want a wedding gallery to hold onto, not smooth over. That’s really the thing about photographing at Carlee Farm as many times as I have — every couple finds their own version of a moment like that. TJ and Brianna’s was the cake. For someone else it’s the first dance, or a parent losing it during the toast. My job on a Carlee Farm wedding day is staying close enough, camera ready, that I don’t miss it when it happens. If you’re planning your own day at Carlee Farm, my advice is simple: don’t over-choreograph every minute. Some of the best photos from TJ and Brianna’s wedding came from the moments nobody planned.
