Jess and Jacob celebrated the most beautiful summer wedding at The Barn at Bull Meadow in Concord, New Hampshire. Their day was filled with meaningful moments, including a heartfelt first look, private vows, and the dreamiest golden hour portraits to end the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate these two!

Getting Ready In Concord, NH

The sun was shining as we arrived at The Barn at Bull Meadow, where Jess and her bridesmaids welcomed us with smiles and excitement. Jess got ready in all white while her bridesmaids wore matching butter yellow pajama sets. Upstairs, Jacob and his groomsmen put the finishing touches on. Jacob’s brother and Best Man, Cam, helped him get ready before he shared a sweet first look with his mom. Meanwhile, Jess slipped into her dress with help from her mom before sharing first looks with her bridesmaids, soon to be mother in law, and finally her dad and brother. Once everyone was ready, we brought Jess and Jacob outside for their first look, where they shared private vows together. We then explored the grounds for portraits before wrapping up wedding party and family photos ahead of the ceremony!

Outdoor Ceremony

Once it was time for the ceremony, guests found their seats by the pavilion as Jess’s brother, CJ, made his way down the aisle to officiate. Jacob followed along before his groomsmen, and then the bridesmaids one by one. A few moments later, everyone rose to their feet as Jess walked down the aisle with her dad, Mike, both smiling from ear to ear. During the ceremony, Jess and Jacob blended sand from their hometown beaches into one jar, symbolizing the start of their new life together. CJ then pronounced them husband and wife, and the newlyweds sealed it with a kiss before making their way back up the aisle through a sea of bubbles! They paused for one final dip kiss before guests headed to the back patio to enjoy cocktail hour.

Reception In The Barn

After a lively cocktail hour, guests made their way into the barn as introductions got underway. Everyone rose to their feet as Jess and Jacob made their grand entrance from the staircase. The crowd erupted as they stepped right into their first dance! Toasts followed, beginning with the Best Man and Maid of Honor, before Jess’s dad wrapped things up with touching and funny stories. As dinner came to an end, we snuck the newlyweds outside for the dreamiest golden hour portraits around the property. Once back inside, they cut their cake before sharing parent dances. Jacob danced with his mom first, followed by Jess and her dad. Jess then surprised her mom with a special dance before inviting all the women onto the dance floor. The dance floor officially opened, and the celebration continued late into the night!
