If you’re wondering if you can still have a dreamy, detail-filled celebration with a smaller guest size — take note of today’s styled shoot! Elizabeth of ellAdele photography gathered with a team of creatives at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms, taking advantage of the outdoor space and showing all it can bring to an intimate wedding. We know the pandemic has left many couples feeling discouraged about their wedding plans, but one look at these images and you’re surely going to feel inspired!

Small Orchard Wedding Inspiration at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms | CHI thee WED

Written and captured by Elizabeth of ellAdele photography:

When 2020 came it was supposed to be one of the biggest wedding years for so many people. All 36 of my couples were wanting to have their big dream wedding filled with friends and family but once the pandemic hit they were left with different options. Options that they never thought they would have to consider but in the end so many of them still chose to get married because love was not canceled this year. Wedding after the wedding I saw my couples choose to opt for the backyard wedding or just a smaller wedding on the grounds of their wedding venues if the venue allowed it.

Back in February, I had talked to some of the staff at Orchard Ridge Farms/ The Pavilion about bringing a new look to the venue, something that we haven’t seen yet and that was having a gorgeous setup utilizing their orchard that is located on their 100+ acres. When we first started brainstorming we didn’t think of how important it was to show couples that even with only 10-15 guests you can still have the wedding of your dreams. When we put this styled shoot together for June it all came together so perfectly and truly represents how even when it is small a wedding it can be dreamy, romantic, and oh so beautiful.
