Location
After exchanging vows beneath the soaring glass atrium, guests flowed seamlessly into cocktail hour beneath the trees. The highlight? A perfectly stacked champagne tower that shimmered in the afternoon light. As Kenzie and Danny poured the first cascade, laughter echoed through the woodland setting - an effortlessly elegant transition from ceremony to celebration. Passed hors d'oeuvres, signature cocktails, and the soft hum of conversation filled the space while the forest framed every candid moment.
As the evening unfolded, the reception space transformed into a candlelit dream. Long tables glowed beneath layers of taper candles and soft glass votives, reflecting against the venue's floor-to-ceiling windows. The effect was intimate yet grand - a warm contrast to the crisp architectural lines of the Glasshaus. Every detail, from the floral textures to the romantic lighting, elevated the atmosphere into something timeless and editorial.
Just before sunset, we whisked Kenzie and Danny away on one of the property's golf carts, winding through the wooded paths of Bavaria Downs in search of golden hour. The sky melted into soft blush and amber tones as they stepped into the open meadow. Those sunset portraits - quiet, windswept, and bathed in warm light - became some of the most breathtaking images of the day.
