This September, I had the pleasure of capturing the stunning wedding of Hunter and Crystal at the Grand Black Barn in Licking, Missouri. Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, this venue provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The crisp September air and the beautiful natural surroundings only added to the magic of the day.

The Grand Black Barn, with its rustic elegance and sweeping views, was the ideal venue for their ceremony and reception. As they exchanged vows, their love for each other was evident to everyone in attendance. The personal touches, from their carefully chosen decor to the branding of a cow hide, made the day feel truly special. Hunter and Crystal, thank you for allowing me to be part of your beautiful day. Your love story is one for the books, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and adventures together.
