Spring Garden Wedding at Running Deer Golf Club

Brigida and Andrew’s wedding at Running Deer Golf Club landed on one of the first real spring days we’ve had. 80 degrees, full sun, and a much-needed shift after the stretch of cold we’ve been coming out of.

I broke out my favorite lemon J.Crew dress and headed back to one of my favorite venues in South Jersey!

Pastel Garden Vibes

Brigida went all in on a pastel palette and it showed up everywhere in the most garden-party way!

Each bridesmaid wore a different color. Blues, greens, pinks, purples, even softer tones of orange and yellow. Nothing matched, but everything worked together.

That same direction carried into the ceremony setup and the smaller details. Andrew’s suspenders tied right into it and her veil finished it off in a way that felt simple and intentional.

A Different Way to Use Running Deer Golf Club

I’ve photographed a lot of weddings at Running Deer Golf Club and this was the first time I’ve seen a ceremony set directly on the grass. Guests faced out toward the greens and the entire setup felt open and easy to move through.

It gave the ceremony a completely different look and I was HERE FOR IT! I hope this is the first of many grass ceremonies at Running Deer! If you want to see how the space can be set up in different ways, you can also look through my Complete Running Deer Wedding Guide.

An Effortless Timeline for an Intentional Day

Brigida and Andrew chose to do a first look after our getting ready coverage, which gave them time to relax before the ceremony. We stuck along the trail for all of our portraits since there was some shade! If you want help building a timeline that gives you room to enjoy your day, I break that down more here.
