Kierstie + Austin found me by searching their local area for a wedding photographer, and I’m so glad they did! They got married at Honey’s Harvest Farm in Lothian, Maryland. It’s only about 15 – 20 minutes from where I live, so I was ecstatic to be able to shoot a wedding so close to home. Honey’s Harvest Farm is adorable and I loved shooting there. Even though there was rain forcasted, it all worked out and we did all the family + bridal party pics outside. I love a good Maryland farm wedding! The red barn where the reception took place was decorated with string lights and home made wood tables with matching crossback chairs. I loved her centerpeices and table decor. They had their ceremony just on the other side of the barn overlooking spacious green fields. Honey’s harvest also sells their own crops in the store located on the farm. You can get jam, honey, and lots of other homegrown goodies. This was September so I was grabbing figs from the large fig trees! My husband is Greek so we have fig trees on our property. We love being able to pick them off and enjoy. Here is a bit more about Honey’s Harvest Farm:
