Maegan & Josh’s Summer Wedding at The Barn at Reynolda Village
featured blog post
Maegan & Josh got married the last weekend of June at The Barn at Reynolda Village and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day! Their ceremony took place in the gardens, surrounded by the summer florals and the people that mean most to them.
Just before the ceremony, the forecast wasn’t looking good. The thunder started and the radar showed a summer storm headed towards Winston Salem. Rather than rush and move everything inside, Maegan & Josh made the decision to wait it out. We decided to push the ceremony back 30 minutes and sure enough, the skies cleared. The clouds even cooled down the heat, and we only had a light drizzle. It ended up being the perfect setting for their ceremony.
