Vintage-Inspired Backyard Wedding in Baltimore

Hanna’s vision for her wedding day was everything I could have asked for. She was highly inspired by her aunt’s wedding photos from 1979, and I was so excited to be a part of this vintage-inspired celebration.

Hanna & Pete’s Roland Park Backyard Wedding

Hanna and Pete made it clear that they wanted raw, imperfect photos of their day, capturing themselves and their guests exactly as they were. Nothing contrived. If you are familiar with my work, you know that was music to my ears! They wanted to prioritize experiencing their wedding day with their friends and family rather than creating moments for the sake of photos.

We started the morning at their family home in Roland Park. Hanna got ready upstairs while Simply Breathe Events made sure everything was going smoothly outside. Her friend Zoe did her makeup, and downstairs, Pete got dressed with friends (and an adorable pup) elsewhere. After Hanna’s dad saw her in her gorgeous handmade Jill Andrews gown, we made our way to Baltimore Country Club for the ceremony.

Hanna and Pete’s ceremony was a classic. Just after dark, Hanna walked down the aisle escorted by both of her parents. It was clear that these two were surrounded by an immense amount of love from friends and family. After the ceremony, we made sure to allow just enough time for quick family portraits - heirlooms that would be passed down in the same way that Hanna received her aunt’s photos. We even managed to gather every single guest for an overhead group photo before taking off.

After a short drive back to the Roland Park house, it was time to party! Hanna and Pete had rented a clear-top tent decorated with paper lanterns and sourced some of the absolute best food trucks in the city. My favorite detail of the reception? The utterly massive cake- topped with raspberries! It felt like a throwback to another era.

This wedding was such a joy to be a part of and a great reminder that you should customize your wedding day to include the things you love the most.

Timeless Waterfront Wedding at Annapolis Yacht Club

Leigh and John reached out to me with a vision of a classic wedding, complete with film photos and some traditional portrait poses. In the end, their day truly felt like it could have taken place in any decade, and I know that these photos are something they will cherish forever without ever feeling dated.

Leigh and John’s Annapolis Yacht Club Wedding

John and Leigh’s wedding was heavily influenced by Leigh’s parents’ wedding at Annapolis Yacht Club back in the 80s. Founded in 1886, AYC is one of the oldest and most respected yacht clubs in the United States and has been a popular wedding venue for many decades. It’s located in the heart of historic Annapolis and is surrounded by beautiful marinas which were the perfect backdrop for their first look and portraits. We even took the time to recreate some of the exact portraits that her parents had taken almost four decades before.

Leigh and John decided to have two ceremonies on their wedding day, which was a unique touch that made the day very special. Their first (more religious) ceremony took place with only their immediate family before the rest of their guests arrived. It was a deeply emotional and wonderful way to start their day. Once the guests arrived, Leigh and John held their second, more secular ceremony so that all of their loved ones could be witnesses to their marriage. I don’t remember the specifics, but I do know a love letter from Leigh’s grandparents was read aloud and literally everyone, including myself, was crying.

These two are truly such sweet souls and I’m so thankful that they included me on their big day. We endured winds and rain from the tailwind of a hurricane and managed to create some beautiful photos and memories together!

Fun & Romantic Main Street Ballroom Wedding

There’s nothing I love more than connecting with a client’s family and getting to photograph another wedding for them! A few months after I photographed her brother’s wedding, Hannah reached out about her own, and I was so excited to celebrate with this wonderful group of people again.

Hannah & Dylan’s Wedding at Main Street Ballroom

Dylan and Hannah are an absolute joy to be around, so I was incredibly excited to capture their big day for them. They were already legally married, but they hadn’t had the opportunity to celebrate with their friends and family. Although unfortunate that the celebration was delayed, it made for an incredible evening without so much pressure! Hannah and Dylan were there to party with their guests and have an amazing time, and they did just that! Hannah even changed into the most incredible reception outfit I’ve ever seen so she could really let loose on the dance floor!

These two were childhood sweethearts, having met in 6th grade. Although they didn’t end up together until later down the road, it was clear that they had known each other almost their whole lives and were deeply intertwined together. Hannah and Dylan are truly best friends, and getting to see them spend a day celebrating together was such a joy. And not only was their wedding day about the two of them but about their little girl! These two have a daughter together, and she absolutely stole the show on their big day. She was so excited to be part of the celebration, and she danced all night long! (Personal favorite moment that I can relate to as a parent- letting her walk down the aisle with a cracker hanging out of her mouth. Why tempt a toddler tantrum over a cracker?! Everyone laughed so hard at how adorable it was too!)

I’m so grateful I got to photograph this family on two of their most important days. I love seeing my clients again, and there is truly no bigger honor than your family trusting me with another wedding.

Classic Country Club Wedding in Maryland

Joanna and Tyler had the most beautiful fall wedding at Columbia Country Club. Everything about their day felt classic and romantic, and I’m so excited to share this beautiful celebration.

Joanna and Tyler’s Wedding at Columbia Country Club

These two are absolute sweethearts, and I was looking forward to photographing their big day for them. They started their morning getting ready with their wedding party at the Marriott Bethesda Downtown, which was full of natural light and is an overall great space. My favorite part of the hotel was the rooftop on which Joanna and Tyler had their first look! We had a clear sky and could see for miles, and it was the perfect spot for these two to unite for the first time that day!

Overall, I’m a big fan of first looks, despite hating the official name. (Can we just low-key see each other instead of making it sound like a wedding industry production?) While I totally respect any couple that chooses to see each other as they walk down the aisle, seeing each other earlier on your wedding day is a great alternative. I want my couples to enjoy their guests during cocktail hour. When you have a first look with your partner before your ceremony, we can punch out wedding party photos, couple’s photos, and sometimes even family portraits before the rest of your guests show up. All of which would have to be taken during cocktail hour otherwise. Plus, who doesn’t love a private moment with your favorite person on the biggest day of your life thus far?!

Tyler and Joanna threw an absolutely incredible wedding celebration, and I’m so glad I could be a part of it! From the sweet first looks to Joanna’s killer reception outfit, there was not one detail that was overlooked, nor one person who didn’t have a great time!

In-Home Newborn Family Session

I had so much fun with Baby S and her family during this session. Family newborn sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions and I can’t wait to do more of them!

Family Sessions with Newborns

While many of my newborn session clients are first-time parents, I always get excited when I have a client who has older children too. I met this family when they only had one child and a second on the way. I actually photographed their American wedding celebration after they moved here from China! While this session was primarily to document baby S in her newborn stage, we also made sure to capture her older siblings and the role that they play. Especially when you have a child becoming an older sibling for the first time, it is so important to make them feel included. Documenting their relationship with the new baby is such a great way to cherish both of the children and these are often the photographs that parents love the most.

During my newborn sessions, I also make sure to get plenty of photos of both parents. Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, the newborn stage moves quickly and you deserve beautiful photos of you with your baby. Too often, I find that moms are behind the camera instead of in front of it, so it’s a huge priority of mine to take authentic photos of you and your newborn.

This family session was truly a joy to capture and baby S is the luckiest little girl to grow up in this loving family!

Newborn Lifestyle Session

This session with Baby L and his parents is just too stinking cute! We had such a great evening at their home capturing these photos for them to cherish. 

Maryland film photographer newborn session

Newborn Lifestyle Sessions

If you are looking for a photographer for your newborn session, an important item to note is that there are two popular types of newborn sessions. There is posed newborn photography (sometimes also referred to as studio newborn photography) and then there is lifestyle newborn photography. If you are looking for photos of your little babe bundled up in a basket or a carefully curated set, that is posed newborn photography. What I offer is lifestyle newborn photography.

Lifestyle newborn photography is what it sounds like - photos of your newborn in everyday life. These photos usually include parents and siblings and take place in your home. They capture not only your newborn but what life looked like at this time. I love newborn lifestyle photography because having a newborn is so much more than just a sleepy baby with rosy cheeks. It’s also diaper changes and feeding and the way your home looks when the sunlight hits the rocking chair in the nursery.

My goal is always to preserve a moment in time for my clients, and newborn photography is no exception to that. Baby L and his parents let me into their lives for an evening and we captured this time for them to look back on and remember.

Maryland Backyard Family Session

Photographing C & G and their parents was such a joy. This session is a beautiful reminder that you don’t need an occasion to take family photos. Your family in any stage is worth documenting.

In-Home Baltimore Family Session

My favorite part of in-home family sessions is getting to photograph children and parents in their natural state. Seeing the way that siblings interact with each other and how parents play with their children is a beautiful thing to witness. This session with C & G was a great example of a family who allowed me to come into their life for a day and capture it honestly. From reading books to jumping on the bed to playing on the swing set - these moments are what a real day in their life looks like, not something that we posed and put together. While this might not be how everyone prefers their family photos, I’m drawn to the authenticity time and time again. So often we see parents trying to get their kids to smile for a posed photo, but what if we just let them do what they love and photograph the joy on their faces as they do it? Parenthood isn’t always glamorous, and I don’t portray it that way. I want you to have photos to look back on that transport you to this time in your life, not just a pretty picture to hang on your wall. After all, these are the types of photos from my own childhood that I love the most.

I had so much fun during this session and I’m so proud of the art we created together.

In-Home Milestone Family Session

These photos of Baby T and his parents make me emotional every time I look at them. These phases in babyhood are so fleeting, and I’m so glad I could capture them for this gorgeous family.

Milestone Sessions on Film

There is something so special about this age - the eyes just starting to take in everything around them, the baby giggles, the chunky legs, and soft skin. As every parent knows, your baby grows faster than you can possibly imagine during their first year, so it’s so important to stop and take it in every once in a while.

While newborn photos are classic and gorgeous in their own right, it can be stressful to organize a photo session in the first few weeks postpartum. I’ve become a huge fan of these milestone sessions as an alternative - capturing your baby when they’re a few months old. Not only are parents less exhausted at this point, but your baby is finally interacting with you and is an active participant instead of just sleeping through the session.

This session with Baby T was so precious, and even more so since it took place in their home. I love capturing families in their own spaces. Our homes are reflections of who we are, and so often we don’t have any photos of them! Getting to capture these three in their house and on their property was incredibly special, and something I hope they cherish for a lifetime.

Loch Raven Reservoir Family Mini-Session

While newborn sessions are popular for a reason (hello, adorable infants) I might love sessions with toddlers even more. This mini-session with P and her parents was the perfect way to catch this fleeting stage of her life, and I love how the photos turned out!

Family Mini-Sessions on Film

This family mini-session at Loch Raven Reservoir was so much fun. Little P was incredibly fascinated by my camera, giving us some absolutely adorable photos. She was a trooper during this sunset session, happy to give Mom and Dad hugs and play with the leaves. Of course, I also snuck in some photos of just Mom and Dad! Parenthood is such an important part of your relationship and one I love documenting.

One of the most fun parts of being a film photographer is choosing what film and camera combinations to use during my sessions for the best result. For this mini-session I decided on a 35mm lens on my Canon AE-1 with Kodak Portra 400 film. This gave us 36 exposures with beautiful warm tones, perfect for this gorgeous fall day. It gives a very fine grain to the images and medium contrast, making it a super popular film type.

Looking for a quick session for your family for a birthday or holiday photos? A film mini-session is the perfect option.

Lakeside Family Session in Baltimore County

This family session at Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County might be my favorite family session yet. We decided to shoot only film, leaving space for all the imperfect moments that happen with little ones, and yet the images turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined.

Film Family Photography at Loch Raven Reservoir

Little E & B were the stars of this shoot, and they had so much fun running through the forest and climbing on logs. They observed the geese carefully as the sun set and had so many questions for me about my film cameras. Mom and Dad were patient and prioritized getting authentic photos over posed ones - something I deeply appreciate as a photographer and mother. We had such a fun evening and I’m so glad I could document this time for their family.

Loch Raven Reservoir is one of my favorite spots for family sessions, especially during fall. The trees show a beautiful display of colors, and the beach is the perfect spot to capture the sunset. The area is full of wildlife and generally not crowded, making it a great place to let the kids get some energy out.

If you’re looking for some perfectly imperfect photos of you and your family, please reach out! I’d love to capture your family on film.

Family-Focused Wedding at St. Paul's School

Georgeanna and Ki were excited to not only be married to each other but also to join their two families into one. I am so grateful I was able to document such a beautiful time in this couple’s life!

Georgeanna & Ki’s Relaxed Wedding at St. Paul’s School

St. Paul’s is a beautiful campus located just north of Baltimore that is home to three private schools. Georgeanna and Ki have long ties with the school and decided to host their wedding in this beautiful space. After an intimate church ceremony at the campus chapel, they made their way to the Brooklandwood mansion for a laid-back reception.

Georgeanna and Ki spent the afternoon catching up with friends and family and enjoying the beautiful weather. They enjoyed burgers from Chowhound food truck and quality time with their loved ones. This wedding day was a wonderful reminder of the purpose of a wedding: a celebration of the joining of two people. When you strip away all of the frills, it is the signing of some documents and a day spent with those most important to you. This laid-back wedding was absolutely lovely, and I’m so glad I could be a part of it.

Summer Camp Inspired Wedding at Camp Hidden Valley

After having so much fun with Becca and Edward during their engagement session I was incredibly excited about their wedding at Camp Hidden Valley. Their families came together for a weekend of fun in the outdoors and it was such a perfect reflection of these two!

camp hidden valley wedding

Becca and Edward’s Summer Camp Wedding Weekend

Edward and Becca have a mutual love of the outdoors; from Edward’s childhood as a boy scout to camping, hiking, and gardening together throughout their relationship. Their love of the outdoors combined with the idea of having their family on-site for more than just the ceremony and reception led to the incredible idea of a summer-camp-themed wedding. And where better to pull that off than at Camp Hidden Valley?

Everything about this day was so much fun. They had camp-themed details, hired a food truck for dinner, and started a bonfire after the sun went down. There were tree swings and karaoke and kegs of custom beer - everything you could possibly wish for at an adult summer camp! When they originally reached out to me, Becca described her wedding dream as “feel[ing] like we are receiving a big hug from our family, friends, and community”. I can absolutely say that they pulled this off. These two were surrounded by so much love and it really made the wedding feel like a community celebration.

Becca and Edward truly feel like sunshine contained in human form, and meeting their family and friends was such a joy. This unique wedding was one that I’ll never forget, and I hope to be back for more Camp Hidden Valley weddings in the future!

Colorful & Whimsical Wedding at The Elm

The Elm is probably my favorite wedding venue in Baltimore, so when Jeremy and Michelle reached out about their wedding there I was so psyched! It’s a quirky, fun, intimate venue and it was the perfect fit for these two sweethearts.

Michelle & Jeremy’s Quirky Wedding at The Elm

Michelle and Jeremy are filled with childlike wonder, which made this wedding an absolute joy. From their colorful outfits to the people they surround themselves with - every single part of their day brought a smile to my face.

After a gorgeous outdoor ceremony where they chose to walk down the aisle together, they spent cocktail hour with their guests, enjoying the party that they had worked hard to put together. I love when couples take the time to truly enjoy their wedding day rather than being rushed around between “tasks." After all, this is likely the largest party you’ll ever throw, and you should get to fully experience it!

We all moved indoors for the reception where the space was filled with stunning colorful flower arrangements by Scentsational Florals. This space is unlike any other in Baltimore. With a rainbow dance floor and tons of vintage posters, you really don’t have to add much to the space. (I loved the origami paper cranes hanging from the ceiling that the couple added, however!) The owner of The Elm, Sharon, has done an absolutely incredible job curating the art in the space and making it whimsical but warm. Her husband is an artist and the large-scale chalk illustrations in the main hall are his brainchild. Not only is The Elm a wedding venue, but also Sharon’s home, and her work reflects how deeply she cares about the space.

Jeremy and Michelle’s wedding was an absolute joy to be a part of. To my future couples - if you’re looking for a fun and unique spot in Baltimore to host your wedding, you have to check out The Elm!

LGBTQ+ Wedding Celebration in Baltimore City

Frances and Kerrigan’s wedding day couldn’t be contained to just one iconic Baltimore location. They split their day between the beautiful Whitehall Mill and Cinghiale - one of my favorite restaurants in Fells Point. I was so excited to see these two celebrate their love with all their family and friends.

Cinghiale wedding baltimore

Frances and Kerrigan’s Joy-filled Wedding in Baltimore

Their wedding day started with Frances and Kerrigan getting ready together at Hotel Indigo - the first of many untraditional things about their wedding that I absolutely loved. Kerrigan got dressed first in a stunning maroon suit and then stepped out of the room for Frances to put on her dress. After a sweet moment between Frances and her mom, Kerrigan came back and the two shared a sentimental “this is really happening” embrace. The giggles and love these two shared at that moment were contagious, and the perfect way to start their wedding day.

From the hotel, we all made our way to Whitehall Mill for portraits and the wedding ceremony. Everyone in Kerrigan and Frances’ wedding party was dressed to the nines and carried a bouquet - regardless of the side of the aisle or gender identity. It was clear that Frances and Kerrigan cared more about their love of each other and their friends than they did about wedding traditions, and it was such a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sometimes be weighed down by outdated and unnecessary traditions.

Frances and Kerrigan’s ceremony was beautiful and full of love and prayer. My favorite part was that they chose to serve Communion themselves - giving them the chance to greet every guest at the altar and share such a deeply special moment with them. They included prayer, song, and nods to the various religious beliefs belonging to members of their family.

After the ceremony, everyone headed over to Cinghiale in Fells Point. These two clearly prioritized good food and good drinks and it was truly a dinner to remember. Their friends and family were overjoyed to celebrate this union, and the room was tangibly filled with joy.

Kerrigan and Frances, thank you so much for including me on your wedding day. Your celebration was both nontraditional and timeless, and I’m so glad I could witness this celebration of your love!

Loch Raven Reservoir Engagement Session

When Becca and Edward reached out to inquire about a wedding photography package I immediately knew we would click! We had so much fun at their engagement session at Loch Raven, and I can’t wait to share their wedding photos with you soon!

Becca and Edward’s Engagement Session at Loch Raven Reservoir

Becca and Edward decided to add on a mini-engagement session when they booked me for their wedding photography, and I’m so glad they did. This is a great option for anyone who wants to stick to a budget and have a short-and-sweet experience taking photos together and meeting before the big day. We decided on a sunset session at Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County which fit their style perfectly. We spent about 45 minutes getting to know each other and capturing these stunning photos of the two lovebirds on both digital and one roll of 35mm film. It made me so excited for their wedding day! I got to hear all about their families and their wedding plans, and overall had so much fun just getting to know them! By the time their wedding day rolled around, it felt like I was meeting up with old friends.

If you are on the search for a wedding photographer, one thing I would definitely recommend to you is that you book your engagement photos with the same photographer you will have on your wedding day. Engagement photos are a great way to get to know your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera - both of which add to a more relaxed experience on your wedding day! It’s a great time to go over any insecurities you may have, and become friends with your photographer - after all, they’ll be with you more than almost anyone else on your wedding day. Becca and Edward’s engagement session at Loch Raven Reservoir was a great example of how you don’t need several hours or outfit changes to create beautiful portraits with your partner.

Micro Wedding at the AVAM Sculpture Garden

After postponing their wedding twice due to Covid, Maddie and Brian decided to have an intimate celebration with only their closest friends and family at the American Visionary Art Museum Sculpture Garden. Their celebration was a fantastic reflection of who they are, and I had such a lovely morning celebrating with them.

Maddie & Brian’s Sculpture Garden Micro Wedding

Maddie and Brian’s wedding was a short and sweet celebration of their love. These two are both very soft-spoken, kind people, and their intimate celebration felt like the perfect way to highlight that. Their friends and family were incredibly involved in the wedding, from Maddie’s aunt who officiated, to their friend Lydia at Little Fields Floral who made Maddie’s bouquet. Their wedding felt like not only a joining of two people but a coming together of an entire community.

As I’ve said previously, the American Visionary Art Museum is one of my favorite wedding venues in the city. Not only is it a fun, quirky space, but it’s also a non-profit that prioritizes inclusivity and creativity — a factor that was very important to Maddie and Brian. That being said, the Sculpture Garden is usually a space reserved for portraits, but thanks to Maddie and Brian’s low guest count was the main venue! The awning provided the perfect respite from the sun, and guests of all ages had fun exploring and appreciating the art throughout the space.

I’m so grateful to have witnessed this sweet wedding and I hope it serves as a reminder that breaking away from wedding tradition can help you create a celebration that accurately reflects your love!

Elegant Dulany's Overlook Wedding

Maria and Matt’s wedding at Dulany’s Overlook was an absolute dream. Not only did these two throw the most fun and laid-back wedding reception, but their photos also turned out phenomenal. I’m so excited to finally share this day with all of you!

Maria & Matt’s Wedding at Dulany’s Overlook

Maria and her bridal party started the morning getting ready upstairs at Dulany’s in their gorgeous dressing room area. One of my favorite parts about this venue is its 12-hour rental window, which means you can get ready on-site! While the ladies put on their finishing touches, Matt and his groomsmen hung out in the basement getting-ready suite, complete with pinball machines and French doors onto a patio overlooking the rolling hills. Even though Frederick, Maryland, is only an hour west of Baltimore, it feels like a different world and the perfect spot for a serene rustic wedding.

Maria and Matt chose to do a first look before their ceremony, and I’m so glad they did. It was obvious to me that these two are best friends, and they couldn’t bear to be apart one more minute. They were so excited to see each other, and they both looked absolutely incredible. We then took wedding party photos and some family formals so that Maria and Matt could have as much time as possible to enjoy their cocktail hour with guests.

There were very few things on Maria and Matt’s must-have list. They really wanted to focus on experiencing their wedding day and having fun with their friends and family. However, Maria did have one very specific request for me — a group photo with everyone in attendance. With over 100 guests at their wedding, this was no small feat, but I knew I would figure out a way to pull it off for her! Right before their first dance on the lawn I climbed up to the second floor of the barn and made Maria’s wish come true.

This wedding was so much fun to be a part of and I’m so grateful for Maria and Matt’s trust as I documented their day.

American Visionary Arts Museum Wedding

Annie and Ben were an incredibly sweet couple, and I’m so grateful to have photographed their gorgeous wedding for them! Their wedding was absolutely stunning and filled with love from start to finish.

American Visionary Art Museum Wedding

Annie & Ben’s Wedding at the AVAM

We started the day getting ready at Canopy Harbor Point in Baltimore, overlooking the inner harbor. How stunning is that view of the Domino’s sugar sign?! In addition to its incredible location, the Canopy also has an accessible rooftop which made the perfect spot for Annie and Ben’s first look. The wind was intense that day, but these two braved the cold and it ended up swooping up Annie’s veil for the most magical moment. 

After immediate family and wedding party portraits (including their absolutely adorable nephews) we all climbed aboard my favorite transportation in Baltimore - the trolley! Although trolleys don’t run in Baltimore the way they used to, American Limousines offers this beautiful white trolley for special events, and it’s the perfect way to get around the city on your big day. 

Annie and Ben’s indoor wedding ceremony at the American Visionary Art Museum was minimalist and stunning, with exposed brick walls and minimal florals to keep the focus on the couple. After the ceremony, however, things started to feel a bit more like the AVAM we know and love. Cocktail hour was held in the main hall of the visionary center, where they store some of their largest and most iconic pieces including the iconic 15-foot pink poodle Fifi! The American Visionary Art Museum is truly a gem and is the perfect place for a quirky cocktail hour to give your guests plenty to talk about. 

I had so much fun spending the day with Annie, Ben, and all their family and friends. Their wedding day was the perfect combination of effortless romance and classic Baltimore style.

Fun and Fresh Engineers Club Wedding

The Engineers Club is an absolutely stunning venue in the heart of Mount Vernon, and I’m always excited to get to photograph a wedding there. When Emily and Reig reached out about their wedding that would feature their adorable dog and a killer reception, I knew I had to be part of their day!

Emily and Reig’s Wedding at Baltimore’s Engineer’s Club

There was one word that kept coming up in my discussions with Emily and Reig regarding their wedding day: fun. For them, their wedding day was about their commitment to each other, but also about celebrating with all of their friends and family. And celebrating means prioritizing having a great time! From having their dog Benny as part of their wedding party to the sparkly sneakers that Emily wore to the packed dance floor, they made sure that every single detail of their day added to the fun.

Emily and Reig pulled off not only a gorgeous wedding but a truly enjoyable one. Every guest had a smile on their face from the moment the ceremony began, and their friends were truly some of the best hype people I’ve seen. We took a short break during cocktail hour to capture some photos around Mount Vernon and the base of the Washington Monument which turned out to be some of my favorites. There is something so quintessentially “Baltimore” about portraits in Mount Vernon that just felt like the perfect fit for this celebration. These two partied long after the sun went down and I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate their love.

I had such a fantastic day capturing this wedding and I can only hope for more couples that put fun as their #1 priority!
