In Knoxville, TN Cruze Farm ice cream is all the buzz, but did you know that Cruze Farm actually has a wedding venue too? The wedding venue is called The White Barn at Cruze Farm and it’s located just a few miles outside of Knoxville on the family farm! As you can guess, the barn is white, and the surroundings are simply breathtaking! Picture rolling acreage as far as the eye can see with the Smoky Mountains in the background, it’s a photographer’s dream!
Brandy and Austin
I’ve known the bride for years and finally got to meet Austin a few years ago. They had been dating for a long time (very long lol) so this wedding was something everyone knew would eventually come. They started planning around a year or so in advance. Brandy had a pretty good idea of what she wanted for the wedding but was planning from out of town. Planning a wedding out of town is possible, but it can also add stress. Thankfully, they hired a team of professionals which made the process alot easier for them!
Cruz Farm Ice Cream And Memories
The one thing that attracted Brandy to having a White Barn at Cruze Farm wedding was the connection she felt with her dad there. Her dad passed in 2019 and she wanted to add as many things to her wedding in his remembrance (and she did a fantastic job doing so). The two of them would also get Cruze Farm ice cream together as a special treat. Once she actually got to see the farm she knew it was the perfect place. She booked the wedding venue and then booked the Cruze Farm girls to come and serve ice cream at their wedding! That is always a win-win for us as wedding photographers!
She also honored her dad by carrying a photo of him down the aisle. When she got to the end her stepdad walked her the rest of the way. Her dad, Pete was involved in a car ministry, and in his honor, each of the men stood up in his honor and said they gave her away too. I bawled my eyes out and so did everyone else.
