Makenzy & Joseph’s Beautiful Wedding at Greenwood Oaks
August 17, 2024, was a day filled with radiant sunshine, heartfelt emotions, and unforgettable memories as Makenzy and Joseph said “I do” at the enchanting Greenwood Oaks Venue and Gardens in Afton, TN. From heartfelt family moments to the golden glow of a perfect sunset, their day was nothing short of magical. We had the honor of providing all-day wedding photography and videography services, capturing every precious moment to preserve their love story forever.
Sunshine, Shade, and Stunning Backdrops
Their wedding day brought mostly sunny skies, which made the lush grounds of Greenwood Oaks really shine. The property’s towering trees provided plenty of shade for those touching, candid photo moments that we love. And when the day turned to evening, the couple enjoyed a walk through the stunning flower gardens just as the sun began to set. The warm, golden light wrapped around them, creating a romantic glow that made for some breathtaking photos. It was one of those rare, perfect sunsets that felt tailor-made just for Makenzy and Joseph.
A Decision to Keep Tradition
Makenzy and Joseph chose not to have a first look on their wedding day, opting instead for the traditional reveal at the aisle. While that moment was worth the wait, Makenzy did carve out time to share some incredibly touching interactions with several father-figures in her life. Under the dappled light of Greenwood Oaks’ majestic trees, she laughed, cried, and embraced the men who have played such important roles in her story. These moments were nothing short of heartwarming and left us feeling privileged to witness and capture them.
Heartfelt Words That Inspired Tears
Joseph’s happiness was infectious throughout the day—his smile radiated pure joy as he prepared for the ceremony and greeted loved ones. However, during the wedding ceremony itself, Joseph shared a deeply heartfelt address directed not only to Makenzy but to several others who had shaped their lives. His genuine words brought tears to nearly everyone present. It was a beautiful reminder of the depth of his character and the strength of their love.
A Reception Filled with Laughter and Fun
The reception at Greenwood Oaks was as lively and heartfelt as the ceremony. Emotional toasts showed just how much Makenzy and Joseph are adored by their family and friends. Between touching speeches, dancing packed with energy, and even a few lighthearted games, the evening was a celebration in every sense of the word. Laughter echoed through the venue as loved ones gathered to honor the happy couple, creating memories they’ll cherish forever.
A Magical Farewell
As the day came to a close, Makenzy and Joseph made their farewell under a canopy of twinkling string lights. Surrounded by family and friends, they left amidst prayers, well-wishes, and an outpouring of love. It was the perfect send-off—a moment of unity and blessing to mark the beginning of their new chapter together.
