A Fall Rustic Wedding

Caitlyn Farms Event and Wedding Venue

On a warm fall day in September 2025, Brooklyn and Colton said “I do” surrounded by 100 family members and friends. Their day was a beautiful example of a rustic fall wedding, blending outdoor scenery, meaningful moments, and a relaxed, intentional atmosphere.

On the morning of the wedding, Brooklyn got ready with her closest friends in the bridal suite, while Colton spent the morning with his crew in the groom’s suite - a calm and familiar start to the day.

Pre-Ceremony

The couple chose a rustic wedding aesthetic and brought on vendors who could execute their vision in a cohesive, personal way.

The ceremony was held in an open field at Caitlyn Farms Event and Wedding Venue, anchored by a wooden arbor draped in fabric and florals. The setting felt natural, simple, and perfectly aligned with their overall style.

Before the ceremony, Brooklyn shared a first look with her dad and brothers, creating a meaningful and emotional moment with her family.

Then, the couple did a first touch and read their private vows to each other - a quiet moment that allowed them to connect before walking down the aisle.

Ceremony

Colton walked down the aisle to “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen, followed by family and the wedding party, who entered to an instrumental cover of “A Thousand Years.”

Brooklyn was escorted down the aisle by her dad to an instrumental version of “I See the Light,” creating a soft and emotional entrance.

The ceremony was short and sweet, built on their Christian faith and centered on what mattered most to them.

The couple and wedding party recessed out to “On Top of the World” by Imagine Dragons, bringing a joyful and celebratory energy into the next part of the day.

Cocktail Hour

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, Brooklyn and Colton took photos with their family and wedding party, followed by formal couple portraits on the side lawn and by the barn - perfect for their rustic wedding venue setting.

The couple also chose to do a room reveal while guests were still at cocktail hour, giving them a chance to see their reception space fully set and styled before the evening began.

Reception

The reception started with unique wedding party introductions, followed by the newlyweds entering to “Best Day of My Life” by Imagine Dragons.

The couple went straight into their first dance to “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol, followed by the mother-son and father-daughter dances.

After dinner, the father of the bride, maid of honor, and best man delivered heartfelt toasts, adding another layer of connection to the evening.

The couple then cut their cake, did a one-song photo-bomb, and opened the dance floor.

While guests were dancing, we stepped out for golden hour wedding photos, taking advantage of the warm fall light before returning for the bouquet toss.

Grand Exit

After sharing a private last dance, Brooklyn and Colton made their exit through cascading bubbles, backlit by cold sparks — a fun and memorable way to end their night.
