Jack and Brandyn’s wedding at The Estate at River Run was nothing short of a real-life fantasy, blending rich colors, dramatic fashion, and unforgettable moments into a celebration that felt like it had leapt straight from the pages of a storybook. Brandyn began the day in the Lavender Orient Suite, while other friends and family prepared in the Green Garden Suite. His look was as striking as it was unique, with a deep purple velvet vest paired with a gold half cape. His side of wedding party, dressed in coordinating half capes, joined him for portraits in the Lavender Orient Suite and the Woodhaven Billiard Room. Jack prepared in the Primary Bridal Suite, donning a showstopping white suit adorned with floral lace appliqués and an extravagant train that brought high drama and elegance to every step he took. His bridal party complemented the look beautifully, with the bridesmaids in luxurious purple velvet gowns.

The color palette of purple and yellow created an enchanting atmosphere, and when the couple came together for portraits in the Wedgewood Ballroom, the result was pure magic. Golden chairs, columns, and the grandeur of the space amplified the fantasy-like feel, making each image look like a royal court. Their guest book was equally unique, with guests signing wooden chips and dropping them into a display keepsake for Jack and Brandyn to treasure for years to come.

The ceremony, held in the Wedgewood Ballroom, was bathed in golden light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows as they stood together and exchanged vows. Following the “I do’s,” guests were welcomed into the Cameo Ballroom for a cocktail hour with a playful twist. Tables were set with board games like Uno, Hues and Cues, and Codenames, sparking friendly competition that had some tables erupting in laughter while others fiercely battling for victory.

The celebration moved into the Tuscan Ballroom for the reception, where purple mood lighting created an intimate, romantic glow. Each table featured a lantern centerpiece holding a miniature replica of a roller coaster, a nod to the couple’s shared love for adventure and fun. After heartfelt speeches and the ceremonial cake cutting in the Wine Cellar, the newlyweds slipped away for sunset portraits on the front porch, the brick terrace, and the marble foyer, capturing golden-hour romance in every shot.

The night reached its peak back in the Wedgewood Ballroom, where the dance floor came alive. A round of the “Who Does What” game had guests laughing nonstop as Jack and Brandyn held up their shoes to reveal who was most likely to perform various tasks in their relationship. With laughter, music, and pure joy filling the room, the couple danced the night away, wrapping up a wedding that was every bit as magical, heartfelt, and unique as their love story.
