An Autumn Wedding at Shilo Gardens | Bobby & Cody

Bobby and Cody’s wedding day at Shilo Gardens felt like a quiet exhale. Elegant, intentional, and deeply grounded in connection. The kind of day where nothing feels rushed, even when the weather has other plans.

Set in early autumn, Shilo Gardens provided the perfect backdrop for their vision. Lush greenery softened by seasonal florals. Organic textures layered with refined details. A modern garden atmosphere that felt elevated without trying too hard.

Documenting a Gloomy Wedding Day

The forecast called for clouds and rain, and it delivered. Soft light filtered through the sky all day, and while the rain made a few appearances, it never stole the show. Instead, it added depth. Moody skies. Rich tones. A sense of intimacy that only comes with weather you cannot control. We adjusted the timeline with ease, moving with the day instead of against it, and everything unfolded exactly as it was meant to.

Bobby and Cody trusted the process completely. That trust allowed space for creativity and calm. Using a blend of digital photography and 35mm film, their day was documented with both precision and nostalgia. Film brought softness and warmth, while digital allowed flexibility as the light shifted. When the clouds grew heavier, flash was used intentionally to illuminate moments without overpowering them. Clean. Editorial. Modern. Still honest.

Thoughtful Details That Told Their Story

Every part of the day felt considered. From garden paths framed by florals to quiet moments shared under overcast skies, the balance between luxury and ease was unmistakable. Nothing felt staged. Nothing felt forced. Just two people fully present, surrounded by beauty and the people who matter most.

Rain never stopped the celebration. It simply reshaped it. And in doing so, it created space for moments that felt even more meaningful. A reminder that the most memorable wedding days are not defined by perfect conditions, but by how a couple moves through whatever comes their way.

Winter Light and Genuine Moments

Bobby and Cody’s wedding at Shilo Gardens was elegant and modern, with a soft garden flow that felt timeless for autumn. A day rooted in intention. A story told honestly. One that will live beautifully through both digital and film for years to come.
