There is something so special about a wedding that feels like it has been collected over time. Yessica and Michael’s wedding at The Gardens of Weber Manor had exactly that feeling. With 83 guests, an outdoor ceremony, and a wedding day filled with candles, lace, books, and thoughtful handmade details, the entire celebration felt like a vintage garden wedding brought to life.

Yessica and Michael’s wedding was such a beautiful example of what makes this venue special. The gardens created the perfect backdrop, but it was the details and the way they made the space their own that really brought everything together. Have a look!

Why We Love The Gardens of Weber Manor

The Gardens of Weber Manor feels different from a typical wedding venue. So much of the property has been built and transformed by the owners themselves, which gives it a very personal feeling. It’s a place that has been cared for and developed over many years. That makes it such a fun venue to photograph. There are layers throughout the property, from the gardens to the architecture to all of the little spaces that make the venue feel collected and lived in.

For a couple who loves a vintage or garden-inspired wedding, there is already so much to work with. Yessica and Michael leaned into that feeling beautifully with their décor. Candles, lace, books, and personal details added warmth without taking away from the natural beauty of the property.

Yessica & Michael’s Vintage Garden Wedding

Yessica and Michael welcomed around eighty guests for their wedding day, with three bridesmaids and three groomsmen standing beside them. From the beginning, the day felt incredibly personal. 

One of my favorite parts was watching Yessica share first looks with the people who mean so much to her. Her first looks with her dad, stepdad, and brother were all so sweet, and each one had its own little personality. Those are the moments that remind us why we love wedding photography so much. The big moments are important, but the relationships surrounding the couple are such a huge part of the story, too.

A Garden Ceremony at The Gardens of Weber Manor

Yessica and Michael chose to have an outdoor ceremony surrounded by the gardens. With the greenery and natural setting, it doesn’t require any additional décor. The ceremony fit beautifully with the overall feeling of the day. Rather than competing with the property, the details complemented it and added to the vintage garden aesthetic.

Having an outdoor ceremony also allowed the surrounding gardens to become part of the wedding photographs. The property provides so many natural layers and textures, which makes the setting feel intimate even when you’re photographing a larger group.

The Details That Made This Wedding Feel Like Them

Yessica’s details were some of my favorite parts of the entire day. She created the table numbers herself using books, and they were such a unique touch. They fit perfectly with the vintage garden feeling while also giving the reception something personal that guests could interact with.

Then there were the candles. So many candles. Combined with the lace and other carefully chosen details, they gave the reception a warm, romantic atmosphere as the evening went on. Nothing felt random. Every piece seemed to have a purpose and contributed to the overall look.

It’s clear that Yessica had a vision for how she wanted the day to feel, and she carried that vision through the smallest details.

What Makes a Gardens of Weber Manor Wedding Special?

For couples who love the idea of a garden wedding but want something with more personality, The Gardens of Weber Manor is such a beautiful option. You can keep things simple and let the gardens speak for themselves, or bring in thoughtful details like Yessica and Michael did to completely transform the atmosphere.

It is also a wonderful setting for couples who care about the guest experience. With around eighty guests, Yessica and Michael had enough people there to make the day feel lively while still keeping the celebration intimate. And because so much of the venue has been handmade, it feels warm and personal rather than overly polished or cookie-cutter.

They made the whole experience feel effortless and kept such great energy throughout the day.
