Our Farm Rustic Wedding In Manlius, NY: Rachel & Jordan

As a wedding photographer, I’m lucky to capture moments of love, joy, and personal connection. But sometimes, there are weddings where everything just clicks—where the couple is as full of life and love as the venue itself. Rachel and Jordan’s Our Farm wedding in Manlius, NY, was one of those magical days. From their playful interactions to the personalized details that made their day one-of-a-kind, their wedding was a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: fun-loving, unique, and full of heart. Whether it was their heartfelt vows or the laugh-out-loud moments during their photo shoot, every frame told the story of a couple who truly knew how to celebrate each other and their big day.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Our Farm in Manlius, NY, Rachel and Jordan’s wedding was a celebration that could only be described as pure joy. With its rustic charm, the venue was the perfect canvas for their special day. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wedding would be full of personality—Rachel’s radiant smile and Jordan’s unique fashion choices spoke volumes about the energy and vibe they were bringing to the day. As a photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing the love between two people, and these two made it so easy. Their chemistry was palpable, and it was clear that they were ready to create memories that would last a lifetime.

The Goofy First Look

One of the most unforgettable moments from Rachel and Jordan’s wedding was their first look. It’s always a special moment when a couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day, but this one was truly special. Jordan has an incredible sense of style, and his custom suit was no exception. When Rachel saw him for the first time, she looked him up and down and said, “You look like a freaking Christmas tree.” I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and Jordan did too. Their candid banter and lighthearted exchange made this moment so special—it was just so real and so them.

After the first look, Jordan had arranged to surprise Rachel with these larger-than-life skeleton figures she had been wanting; the moment was a perfect blend of unexpected fun and heart. The way they looked at each other at that moment said it all—this was a couple who truly enjoyed each other’s company and weren’t afraid to show their true selves. The playful and sweet vibe of the first look set the tone for the rest of the day.

Rachel & Jordan’s Playful & Personal Touches

Rachel and Jordan stayed true to themselves throughout their wedding day, and it was one of the things I loved most about their celebration. Clearly, they weren’t interested in just a traditional, cookie-cutter event; they wanted something that truly reflected who they were as a couple. Jordan’s custom suit was a great example of his unique style—he was dressed to impress but with a twist. It was evident in their engagement session as well, where they embraced unique fashion choices that were anything but typical.

One of the most memorable aspects of their wedding was the golden hour we got to photograph. Our Farm provided the perfect backdrop, with its lush greenery and serene atmosphere. As the sun began to set, the soft golden light filled the sky, making for some truly magical photos. But it wasn’t just the serene moments that made their wedding day stand out. The couple made a huge splash with Boris the Trebuchet—launching watermelons across the field in front of their guests! It was a moment that was both hilarious and wildly memorable, showcasing Rachel and Jordan’s ability to turn their wedding into an expression of their fun-loving personalities.
