With its serene wooded area and lily pond, Merry Hill Farm in North Carolina was the perfect oasis for Brittany and Zachary’s bohemian, rustic wedding. We love how the light-florals and vintage tableware added an elegant touch to this farm wedding. Not missing a single moment, talented photographer Michelle Lyerly documented the beautiful details and inspiring moments at this forest wedding.

The Couple:

Brittany and Zachary

The Wedding:

Merry Hill Farm, Buckhorn, North Carolina

From the couple: We pulled inspiration from a variety of sources (Pinterest, wedding blogs, etc.), but most importantly who we are as people and a couple. When booking with our wedding photographer I told her that I wanted the day to be “intimate, personal, and fun”. These three words were really the biggest inspiration behind all of our decisions for the wedding day. Family plays a big role in both of our lives and we decided that an intimate gathering with just our family was better suited for the wedding we wanted. Going to thrift and antique stores is a favorite pastime of ours so we incorporated a lot of pieces as decor for the wedding. My husband enjoys woodworking and made the altar that we were married under. We decided instead of dancing we wanted to have a bonfire where everyone could make s’mores and have some drinks. For wedding day fashion we wanted to make sure to wear something that we felt good in and stayed true to our style.

From the couple: Michelle Lyerly, our wedding photographer, was such an integral part to our day and she went above and beyond our expectations. From day one she made Zach and I feel completely confident that we had found THE photographer for our day. Not only is Michelle extremely talented at what she does, but is an all around amazing person.

The bride wore a blush, laced dress by Shoshanna, which was the perfect ensemble for wandering around the city. After their intimate ceremony at City Hall, the couple and a few close friends celebrated with a lunch at Freeman’s RestaurantElvira Kalviste Photography captured the couple as they took steps towards a new journey.

From the bride: My advice to other couples on their wedding day is to go with the flow. In the case of our City Hall wedding, most of the events of the day were unknown to Jeremy, but I always considered his sense of style, his tastes, and things that I knew he would like or appreciate. Always listen to one another, communicate, and make sure the day is about you. I would also recommend to not get caught up on little things that don’t matter. Try to keep it simple. City Hall was amazing and low key, yet beautiful and intimate. Whether you go big or small, make sure the day is reflective of the love you have with the other person. Your wedding day should be a celebration of that love — as everyday should be.

From the bride: I knew that I loved the rustic, Americana feel of Freeman’s restaurant. I had eaten there before, and just knew the place was unique and amazing. The cakes reflected both our style: simple, elegant, and classic. The bride’s cake was a simple, yet beautiful Lemon cake by Baked. And, his cake was an amazing cake with a picture of Nietzsche. Nietzsche also happens to be Jeremy’s favorite individual. City Cakes NY created a vintage looking Red Velvet cake with Nietzsche’s picture on the top.
