A Labyrinth Inspired Wedding Under the Trees | Jordan + Hunter

There’s something so special about weddings that take place at home, especially when “home” means acres of land surrounded by trees, open fields, and the people who’ve watched your love story unfold. Jordan and Hunter’s wedding was one of those days that felt like it came straight out of a storybook. Their ceremony took place beneath a canopy of trees on her parents’ farm in Fort Payne, Alabama, with a reception that carried the celebration into the family’s barn as the sun dipped below the horizon.

This labyrinth inspired wedding was full of thoughtful details and symbolism. The couple designed their ceremony space to seat guests among the trees, representing life’s journey and the intertwining paths that brought them together. Every step led closer to the heart of their vows, which they performed privately before their ceremony... a beautiful reflection of the patience, growth, and love they’ve shared.

As an Alabama wedding photographer, I couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect setting. The light filtered through the forest canopy, creating a soft glow that danced across Jordan’s lace gown and Hunter’s gentle smile as he saw her for the first time. Every photo captured the peaceful beauty of nature and the joy that comes from celebrating outdoors, proof that an outdoor wedding can be both elegant and deeply personal.

Elegant details... the wedding rings, earrings, and sentimental touches that told the couple’s story.

A small but meaningful touch...a bee brooch pinned to the groom’s tie, symbolizing hard work and devotion.

A mother’s proud gaze...that unforgettable moment after helping her daughter into her wedding gown.

Beneath the shade of towering trees, Jordan and Hunter shared their vows in a peaceful forest setting.

Whimsical touches...a feather pen for the guest book and framed cicada wings resembling fairy wings added a magical, labyrinth-inspired charm.

The reception in the barn was equally magical. Twinkle lights hung from the overhead beams, guests laughed over homemade soup, and the dance floor was laid in oriental rugs. Between the rustic charm of the setting and the forest surrounding it, this nature inspired wedding truly felt like stepping into another world.

For couples dreaming of a forest wedding that blends authenticity, beauty, and heart... Jordan and Hunter’s day is proof that sometimes the best venues are the ones that already hold your favorite memories.
