Looking for inspiration for a rustic wedding in Raleigh, NC? Brittany and Eric’s stunning celebration at Morris Peaceland Farm blended romantic charm with natural beauty and heartfelt storytelling. From emotional vows to sunset portraits on the dock, every moment of this wedding felt intentional and cinematic.

A Scenic Raleigh Wedding Venue with Natural Beauty

Nestled just outside Raleigh, Morris Peaceland Farm offers a tranquil, countryside setting perfect for couples dreaming of a rustic outdoor wedding. Brittany and Eric held their ceremony overlooking a serene pond surrounded by trees, creating a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. One standout feature of the venue is its wooden dock—a favorite for portraits. It offered one of the most visually striking moments of the day as golden-hour sunlight backlit the couple for timeless, magazine-worthy shots.

Emotional Private Vows & First Look Moments

Brittany and Eric’s wedding film began with one of the most touching moments of the day: their private vows. Brittany had been journaling since their first date, documenting prayers, memories, and milestones. She surprised Eric with the journal just before the ceremony—a deeply personal gesture that brought genuine emotion to the forefront of the film.

They also chose to share a first look, giving them a quiet moment before the ceremony. Despite seeing each other beforehand, Eric was still visibly emotional as Brittany walked down the aisle—proof of their deep connection and a powerful highlight in their wedding video.

A Story-Driven Wedding Film with Cinematic Flair

At Jade Films, each wedding video is crafted to tell a couple’s unique story—and Brittany and Eric’s day gave us so much to work with. Their heartfelt vows, moving speeches, and joyful reception all played a role in building a well-rounded, emotionally rich film. While the overall tone leaned romantic and grounded, the reception brought energy and excitement, which we captured through vibrant “hype” edits and dance floor highlights.

Sunset Portraits on the Dock

Golden hour delivered some of the most stunning visuals of the day. As the sun dipped low over the pond, the warm light created a dreamy backdrop for Brittany and Eric’s dockside portraits. These scenes not only captured their chemistry but also brought out the rustic textures and moody tones of the setting—perfect for couples who love a natural yet cinematic aesthetic.

Smooth Planning with Thoughtful Touches

From start to finish, Brittany and Eric’s wedding day ran smoothly. The only challenge came during bridal prep, where limited lighting in the rustic suite required some creative adjustments. Still, the space added to the farm-style charm of the overall day.

The wedding was also a family affair. Brittany, one of several sisters, celebrated surrounded by close-knit family members who brought energy and warmth to every moment.

Real Wedding Video Reaction

The final film received glowing feedback from the couple and their families. Brittany’s review captured the experience perfectly, and her sister’s recent booking speaks to the trust and connection we strive to build with every client. The bride summed up her experience perfectly:

“Mason did a PHENOMENAL job on our wedding video. His attention to detail, fun presence, and natural gifts impressed me …”

Tips for Couples Planning a Similar Wedding

Planning a rustic outdoor wedding? Here are a few takeaways from Brittany and Eric’s big day:

• Schedule time for private moments. Letter readings, first looks, and personal vows add emotional depth to both your experience and your wedding video.
• Prioritize golden hour portraits. The hour before sunset offers the most flattering, cinematic lighting—ideal for dockside or open-field shots.
• Consider your venue’s lighting. Rustic venues are beautiful but may require extra lighting support during prep and indoor moments.
