We are so excited to share Courtney & Ben’s big day on the blog today! To no one’s surprise, Courtney made an absolutely beautiful bride.  We are just swooning over these photos from Chelsea Schaefer Photography. Chelsea is not only one of Mount Ida Farm’s preferred photographers… but she is also Courtney’s sister! She did an amazing job of capturing the entire day.  Courtney and her bridesmaids got ready that morning in the cottage (right across from the Lodge, how convenient is that?!) Courtney and Ben did their first look right in front of the Lodge, then said their I Do’s inside the Lodge. Being a summer wedding, an indoor ceremony is preferable to keep guests cool and comfortable.  We had beautiful weather that day, so they were still able to get some beautiful photos outdoors. Congratulations Courtney & Ben!
