LYNN & ERIC

This nature-loving couple could not have felt more at home surrounded by the picturesque nature preserves of Independence Grove. As their afternoon outdoor ceremony faded into evening, guests enjoyed cocktail hour with a view of the sunset. The menu incorporated fresh, local ingredients with a playful nod to comfort foods, but with a modern, gourmet twist that perfectly encapsulated the rustic, romantic vibe.
