Nathan and Suzi, along with their seven children, family, and friends, were thrilled to have found love once again. Surrounded by the lush greenery of the local plant shop Mahonia, the couple exchanged their vows in an intimate ceremony. The greenhouse was cleared out just enough to make space for the minister and the couple, while everyone else found their spots around them. It was a beautiful and intimate setting for their elopement.

Nathan, a photographer, along with his two sons and Suzi's son, all equipped with cameras, documented the elopement ceremony from their individual perspectives.

Several family members were visibly emotional as the couple said their vows and kissed for the first time as husband and wife. The emotions continued for everyone as they danced to "Conversations in the Dark" by John Legend. 

We walked around for about 20 minutes after the ceremony to take portraits and to let them revel in the day before they joined their friends and family for a private dinner.

What are the benefits and advantages of choosing a wedding in a greenhouse?

Greenhouse weddings have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Not only do they provide a unique and picturesque setting, but they also offer a plethora of benefits and advantages for couples looking to tie the knot. One of the main benefits of a greenhouse wedding is the stunning natural backdrop it provides. With an abundance of plants, flowers, and natural light, greenhouse weddings offer a romantic and enchanting atmosphere perfect for exchanging vows.

Additionally, greenhouse weddings often offer flexibility when it comes to decorating. With so much natural beauty already present, couples can keep decorations to a minimum and still have a beautiful and elegant wedding setting. This not only saves time and money, but it also reduces the environmental impact of the wedding.
