Reed + Nicole 

Describe Your Engagement 

In 2023, at Potato Creek (one of their favorite places to walk their golden retriever, Sadie) Reed got down on one knee on a bridge and asked Nicole to spend forever with him. In that quiet, intimate moment surrounded by nature and love, she said yes without hesitation. 

Describe Your Wedding Vision 

Our wedding vision blended casual elegance with modern charm in a beautiful barn. We wanted the atmosphere to feel warm, stylish, and include dusty blue, pinks, and gold accents. We wanted guests to feel comfortable and celebrated! 

Describe Your Wedding Day 

Our wedding day felt like something out of a dream. The sun shone brightly from a clear blue sky, casting a golden glow over everything. There was a quiet excitement in the air as loved ones gathered, smiles wide, hearts full. The ceremony itself was simple and personal—short, sweet, and overflowing with emotion. We exchanged vows surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. From there, the party came to life. Set inside a beautifully decorated barn dressed in dusty blue and shimmering gold, the space was decorated perfectly. Laughter filled the room, glasses clinked in toasts, and happy tears were shed throughout the evening. It was everything we hoped for and more—filled with joy, love, and memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. 

Your Advice to Engaged Couples 

Planning a wedding can get overwhelming but focus on your why and the person you’re marrying. Prioritize your relationship, laugh together through the hard times, and celebrate this and all the moments to come!
