Bare Chapel in the Woods | Arkansas Wedding

I was completely obsessed with this Arkansas Wedding Venue the moment I the bare chapel nestled in the woods!

Later that month, Madison reached out about me photographing her wedding. She had booked The Chapel at Ridge Runner in Batesville, Arkansas! I was so excited for the opportunity to shoot her wedding at this dreamy chapel!

When the wedding day had arrived and I pulled up to the chapel on the late October Saturday, my jaw dropped! It was better than all the photos I had seen. Madison’s wedding style was classic with a mix of modern, in colors navy + maroon. It was stunning seeing it all come together beautifully for her! Her vision matched with this chapel was stunning.

I then stepped out of my card and headed to see Madison + meet the bridesmaids and moms. Everyone was in the bridal suite smiling, laughing, and doing the final touches on hair + makeup. I got started on the details, including her dress from Low’s Bridal. When Madison was ready, we got her in her dress and headed to her first look with her dad then Jayden to follow!

After the first looks and pre-wedding portraits were complete, Madison + Jayden went to their getting ready quarters as their guests began to arrive. Seeing the friends and family fill the chairs, the wedding party line up, and the processional music begin was the most surreal moment.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. The joy that filled the chapel, the light flooding on the side, and the unity of Madison + Jayden was like a scene from a movie! After the ceremony and all the photos were wrapped up, the reception was in full swing. It was a beautiful and joyous day!
