u're in a different time period. We were the only ones staying at the house so we were able to take advantage of the whole house. The weather was still cold enough for us to have fireside game night. Jill, left us the cutest coffee station in the morning which we were able to enjoy by the waterfall right in front of the house. Definitely would come back time and time again.

on the back porch overlooking the waterfall, and the portraits were taken in the wooded area on site. The reception was held in the covered patio, which was perfect! We would love to photograph a wedding here again. :)
