When Dallas and Brianna planned their wedding, they envisioned exchanging vows with breathtaking mountain views at Pretty Place. But when Hurricane Helene changed their plans, they embraced the shift with the same relaxed, go-with-the-flow attitude that made their wedding day so special. Instead of stressing, they found the perfect alternative—The Pavilion at Walker Century Farms, a charming venue in Anderson, SC, that provided a beautiful and intimate setting for their small wedding.
From the moment the day started, the energy was calm, joyful, and full of love. Dallas and Brianna, along with their whole family who had traveled from out of state, spent their morning getting ready together. Their young son was right by their side through it all, making every moment even more special. Rather than rushing through a hectic timeline, they took their time, laughing and soaking in every moment.
One of the sweetest moments of the day was their first look. Brianna walked up behind Dallas where she grabbed his hands and shared a sweet moment before Dallas turned to see Brianna for the first time in her wedding dress. She looked absolutely stunning, and the moment was full of happy tears and beaming smiles. Her sheer gloves, embroidered with the words “To love & to cherish, to have & to hold,” added such a unique and romantic touch to her bridal look.
With their son by their side and their closest loved ones surrounding them, Dallas and Brianna exchanged heartfelt vows under the pavilion. The open-air space created the perfect intimate setting for their small wedding, with the rustic charm of Walker Century Farms adding to the romance of the moment. There was no rush, no stress—just two people deeply in love, committing their lives to each other.
After the ceremony, we took advantage of the breathtaking golden-hour light that painted the sky orange. The sunset at The Pavilion at Walker Century Farms was truly magical, making for some of the most romantic and intimate portraits of the day. Dallas and Brianna were so wrapped up in each other, sharing sweet embraces and soaking in the beauty of the moment. It was the perfect way to celebrate their love before heading to the reception.
The reception was everything a small wedding should be—cozy, fun, and filled with meaningful moments. The couple and their guests enjoyed a delicious catered sit-down dinner, featuring incredible barbecue from Pompous Pig. Laughter filled the air as family and friends mingled, shared stories, and celebrated the newlyweds.
Later in the evening, the dancing started, and the intimate gathering turned into a lively celebration. Dallas and Brianna’s laid-back nature made the entire night feel effortless and joyful. To end the night, they had a fun sparkler exit.
