There’s something incredibly special about a fall wedding in the Ozarks. Wyatt and Alison Rice’s wedding at Haseltine Estate in Springfield, Missouri, was exactly that kind of day. Between the autumn leaves, perfect weather, and the genuine love surrounding these two, it was one of those weddings that just felt… easy in all the best ways.
A Lovely Fall Wedding in Springfield, Missouri






From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be a good day. Wyatt and Alison were so fun and relaxed — the kind of couple that makes everyone around them feel instantly at ease. Whether they were cracking jokes, sneaking little glances at each other, or just enjoying each moment as it came, their energy set the tone for the entire celebration. Being there and taking part in their day felt like being part of something joyful and real.













The ceremony took place outside under the trees, with autumn’s soft colors all around and the late afternoon sun peeking through the leaves. Alison looked stunning in her gown, and the way Wyatt smiled at her as she walked down the aisle said everything. Their vows were heartfelt and sweet, and there was this calm, grounded energy in the air — everyone knew they were witnessing something really meaningful.
As the day turned to evening, guests gathered under string lights and warm fall tones to celebrate. The laughter, the hugs, the way everyone leaned in and truly enjoyed each other. It all made for such a great atmosphere. And when the dancing started? That’s when the party really came to life! Wyatt and Alison ended the night just the way they started the day: surrounded by the people they love most, being fully themselves, and having the absolute best time.
I left that night feeling so grateful — not just because I got to capture beautiful photos, but because I genuinely had a fun time. Wyatt and Alison, thank you for letting me be a part of your day. Your kindness, your love, and the way you made everyone (including me!) feel like family — that’s what I’ll remember most.
Wishing you a lifetime of joy, laughter, and fall evenings just as perfect as this one.
