The outdoor, poolside reception was stunning. Twin Oaks provided fantastic food, and the Henderson Kids with Elevate Entertainment kept the music lively. Charity Fent Cake Design provided a beautiful cake, and the speeches were heartfelt, especially Lindsey’s emotional bouquet dedication to her mom, who had played a big role in planning the wedding.

Of course, no wedding is complete without a little chaos, right? The ceremony started 45 minutes late because the officiant had to go on a last-minute search for someone’s shoes! Despite the timeline going out the window, Briza handled it all with the calmest, go-with-the-flow attitude. Nothing phased her, and I was so impressed by how she took it all in stride.

The weather was absolutely perfect, setting the tone for an intimate celebration with just family and close friends. Alyssa and Christopher opted for a small, heartfelt gathering that felt incredibly personal and meaningful.

Family photos were incredibly important to Amelia and Sam, so we made sure to set aside plenty of time to capture these cherished memories. The love and connection between their families were evident in every shot, creating beautiful keepsakes for years to come.

Emily and Kyle's wedding was an intimate affair with about 40 of their closest family and friends. It was my first time shooting at Weathered Wisdom Barn, and while the extreme heat and humidity forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the rustic charm of the barn added a cozy and romantic atmosphere to the day.

One of the highlights of the day was the unique and adorable ring bearer, Effie – Kaley's beloved cat. Effie was an absolute star, performing her duties with more grace and composure than some human ring bearers I’ve seen over the years, thanks to a few well-timed cat treats.

Their wedding theme focused on simplistic natural beauty, which perfectly reflected in both their decor and the timeless elegance of their photos. From the intimate moments of their first look to the joyous celebrations at the reception, you could see the pure love radiating between them.

The bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning in their shades of terracotta, which beautifully complemented the lush green surroundings. The color palette was perfect for a late spring wedding.

Samantha and Khailon chose to celebrate their big day with 30 of their closest friends and family, all of whom traveled from Louisiana. I was immediately struck by how warm and welcoming everyone was. They made me feel like a part of their family, and it was an absolute honor to capture their special moments.

Originally set for March, their wedding was postponed due to an emergency surgery just a week before the big day. But Jordan and Ben’s strength and love saw them through, and everyone was healthy and ready for their second chance at saying “I do.”

Marissa's dedication and hard work truly shone through every detail of their wedding. Months ago, she mentioned wanting to grow some of her own flowers for the big day. Well, after many months of careful tending, she succeeded beyond expectations. Her stunning floral arrangements adorned every ledge in the chapel, creating a vibrant, natural beauty that took everyone's breath away. I must admit, I did disassemble a few for detail shots – but rest assured, I put them back together perfectly!

Family played a pivotal role in their celebration. With the best man being Landon's brother and the maid of honor being the groom's niece and bride's best friend, it was a beautiful blend of love and kinship. Speaking of the bridal party – what a joy they were! Their camaraderie and infectious spirits added an extra layer of warmth to the festivities.

Despite the humidity that permeated the air, the day unfolded flawlessly, adding a touch of romance to the atmosphere. Jasmine graced the occasion in two stunning dresses, a testament to her impeccable taste. The first looks shared between the bride and groom were profoundly moving; one preceding the ceremony and the other, a private moment captured after family photos, before the reception commenced.

Couple Anca and Jeff spared no effort in dressing to the hilt for their intimate and private elopement, despite the absence of any guests. Every detail of their attire was carefully chosen to reflect their personalities and the significance of the occasion.
