Despite the forecast threatening inclement weather all week, Megan & Eric's wedding day was nothing but sunshine and blue skies! My favorite sentiment? The light blue Ford Mustang that belonged to Megan's late father that sat out front to welcome guests upon arrival. šŸ„¹šŸ’™
It was so special being able to photograph Megan & Eric with a piece of her father present. It meant so much to them, and those photos ended up being some of my favorites from the entire day.

Every single person in attendance traveled in for this event— almost 200 guests from across the country. And let me tell you, they were given the full Chautauqua experience: magic with a little side of mayhem... 40 mph wind gusts, brisk temps, clouds, rain, and even moments of perfect radiant sunshine.
But NOTHING was going to stop them from celebrating this love story accordingly.
I don’t have words to describe how unpredictable and beautiful this weekend felt, so I’ll let the endless candids do the talking. The link to Ryan and Jake's full blog post is below!!

The AthšŸ’› ...my happy place every wedding season. ⁠
⁠
I love its history, charm, and pure immensity. The way the renowned porch provides the perfect mingling place for guests on a warm & humid night or brisk fall evening. The way I find new details to fall in love with every time I step foot in the door, despite being there countless times. Huge staircases, creaky & uneven floors, ornate wallpaper, paintings, intricate crown molding... and floor to ceiling windows in that overlook Chautauqua Lake. ⁠
⁠
I will never grow tired of it. You enter the gates of Chautauqua & it’s truly like stepping into another dimension. ⁠
⁠
I have to pinch myself when I remember that this gem sits so close to my home. And that I’m lucky enough to get to spend so much time there.⁠
⁠
Either you get it, or you don’t. And that’s ok. ⁠
It’s an acquired taste— one that my photographer heart truly cannot get enough of āœØļø

I have so many emotions when it comes to these two: just so stupidly honored & giddy that I get to be part of their long-awaited wedding day in August🄹⁠
⁠
⁠
…. and so disappointed in myself for not sharing their engagements right after we took them months agošŸ˜…ā 
⁠
(I’ll be better when it comes to their wedding, I promise) ⁠
⁠
maci + garrett— we’re down to less than NINE more months!!! love you guys so much it hurts šŸ¤

From the moment I laid eyes on Brooke and Mason, I dreamed of photographing their wedding... what a creep, right? ⁠
⁠
Zero shame, though, because they were absolutely lost in each other, dancing at his sister’s wedding like they were the only two people in the world. Their love was so tangible & I knew I’d love them before I even knew them. ⁠
⁠
Sure enough, they were engaged the following year. And from our first meeting spent chit-chatting over Zoom, all my assumptions were instantaneously confirmed. Brooke was my favorite kind of human. ⁠
⁠
A confident, self-proclaimed ā€œweird girlā€ ⁠
who was unapologetically herself. ⁠
Outgoing, intentional, hilarious, and kind. ⁠
A friend to everyone she met. ⁠
And so insanely funny. ⁠
⁠
In that first meeting, she even told me about how she longed and hoped to be a mom one day, too. ⁠
⁠
Meeting these two was such a gift. Photographing their love and being part of their wedding was an absolute dream for me. They gave me grace upon grace as I spent our video meetings casually bouncing on an exercise ball to combat pregnancy induced hypertension.... and didn’t think twice when I said I needed to bring a whole (incredible) team alongside me to help photograph their day. ⁠
⁠
I was seven months pregnant when they got married, and so nervous I wouldn’t be able to do their love story the justice it deserved.⁠
⁠
BUT we made it happen. By the grace of God, we did it. And it was such a beautiful, perfect day for two beautiful people. ⁠
⁠
Fast forward to today & this sweet bride and groom are now (very anxiously) awaiting the arrival of their first baby. Like, literally ANY day now. And I’m just pinching myself that I’ve got to watch this all come full circle.⁠
⁠
This baby doesn’t know it yet, but he truly hit the parent jackpot. I say that about all of my couples when they start their families... but I really mean it. My couples are the best people in the world, and there’s nothing I adore more than watching their love grow. ⁠
⁠
b+m— I prayed for your marriage, and now I get the honor of praying for your family. You two are going to crush this parenting thing and I can’t wait to watch your dreams come true all over again šŸ¤

Just when I thought I couldn't love Chautauqua Institution any more, Ellie & Matt's wedding entered the chat and took my obsession to all new heights šŸ’™ From the bell tower tolling at 5pm to signal the start of their ceremony, to the white + blue tones popping against the earliest fall colors I’ve seen in YEARS.... everything about this day felt like we were living in a painting ✨
https://hannahbryerton.com/2025/09/chautauqua-institution-fall-wedding-hall-of-philosophy-hotel-athenaeum/
Western NY was downright showing off to their guests from around the country (& world!) with its golden sunshine, heavenly autumn air, and the most stunning Chautauqua backdrops imaginable.
I'll be dreaming of fall weddings like this one for the rest of my career. To see more from Ellie & Matt's beautiful wedding last Friday, visit the link above! šŸ‚
