Master's Stables Wedding Barn | Holy Cross Catholic Church Wedding | John + Kirsten Sutherland

Finally, the day has come to share this incredible wedding between John and Kirsten! If you didn't check out their engagement session journal post, definitely start by checking that out here to get the whole story, but here is a quick recap! These two love birds are not just high school sweethearts, but have actually been together since middle school! Knowing that fact makes their deep love and understanding of each other that much clearer. You can totally tell John and Kirsten are great partners and that their love is only going to keep getting stronger.

Getting Ready

Vero Beach, in a way, helped raise this couple. It was their hometown and the place they met, so it was only fitting that it would be the town they got married in. Starting with getting ready photos, John and Kirsten were romantic traditionalists and wanted to wait until the alter to see each other on their wedding day. Kirsten got ready at her childhood home with her family and bridesmaids, while John got ready at their home they just bought together, accompanied by his brother and groomsmen.

Ceremony

The wedding ceremony took place at the beautiful Holy Cross Catholic Church. One of a handful of catholic churches in Vero, Holy Cross has a special elegance inside and out. The interior has a classic beauty, with soft-colored walls and beautiful stained glass windows that spill splashes of color. Draped in huge Spanish Moss-covered oak trees, the grounds of the church have a natural beauty that feels like classic Florida.

Reception

There's something undeniably magical about summer weddings, especially when they take place in picturesque venues like Master's Stables Wedding Barn. This charming ranch, nestled amidst miles of fields, set the stage for a reception that was nothing short of enchanting. From a lovely outdoor cocktail hour, to the dining and dancing in the modern farmhouse style barn, this venue delivered in folds.

After some family photos, stunning bridal portraits, and an early sparkler exit to beat the rain, John and Kirsten danced the night away with their closest friends and family. Not a single person was without a smile the whole night.

Cheers to you, Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland. We wish you love and happiness for decades and beyond.
