One of the things I love about Briar Ridge Country Club as a wedding venue is that the entire wedding can be shot in this one beautiful spot. The newly remodeled bridal suite has a nice modern vibe to it and overlooks the golf course and is right down the hall where the reception ballroom is. This gives me the opportunity to break away and capture all the decor as it gets set up throughout the day.

Are your bridesmaids getting “hangry” for some breakfast during prep time? No problem, the restaurant is mere steps away! :)

We all love sunshine but it can be difficult and harsh for photos sometimes. When I’m doing wedding photos at Briar Ridge Country Club, I either use the sun there as a beautiful backlight or tuck my couples away underneath the many trees on the golf course.

If possible, we should definitely sneak out for some sunset images as golden hour as it is quite nice on the golf course with the sun setting over the western trees.

I’ve photographed wedding ceremonies on the back deck as well as my preferred spot east of the ballroom. I like this area because it is more shaded and less chance of harsh sun upon the wedding party and guests. The ballroom is available should the weather not cooperate for an outdoor wedding ceremony.

To view more of this outdoor wedding ceremony, follow the link to this summer wedding with Patty and Stephen.

The reception ballroom overlooks the golf course and has access to a back deck where guests can get some fresh air. The chandeliers in the rooms give an air of elegance for dinner and dancing.
