McKennah + Paige
Just two short weeks before saying “I do,” Paige and McKennah chose Iris Aisle for their intimate elopement—a decision that came together effortlessly, as if it had always been meant to be. On a chilly Friday evening, in the midst of the holiday season and an ice storm on the way, they proved that even the harshest winter weather is no match for the warmth of true love.
Inside the cozy Couple’s Cabin, they helped each other get ready—adjusting collars, smoothing fabric, and stealing quiet, tender moments in between. Excitement bubbled between them as they exchanged sweet glances and soft kisses, grounding themselves in each other before stepping into forever.
As the ceremony began, they walked arm in arm down the stone path, entering the softly lit Conservatory. They paused for a breath, taking in the faces of their closest family and friends, and their children waiting at the ceremony’s end. With eyes glistening, they made their way down the aisle, every step filled with love and intention.
Their heartfelt ceremony was a beautiful blend of laughter, tears, and deep emotion. One of the most touching moments was how they included their children—each child receiving a small lock to clasp around a branch of a handcrafted metal tree, symbolizing the strength and unity of their family. With the final lock placed, their love was sealed.
The evening closed with a first dance, a pop of champagne, and a quick roam around the grounds for a few last photos, braving the winter air together. Capturing Paige and McKennah in their very first moments as a married couple was an absolute joy—there was an undeniable magic between them, one that shone even on the coldest of nights.
If you’re dreaming of a venue that is stunning year-round, surrounded by evergreens that never lose their leaves, Iris Aisle just might be the place where your love story unfolds. 🌿✨
