As a wedding photographer, I get to witness and capture some of the most beautiful moments in people’s lives. But some weddings hold a special place in my heart!

I first met this couple for a family shoot years ago. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of watching their love story unfold, their family grow, and their bond deepen. Seeing them finally tie the knot was nothing short of magical.

Some of my favorite moments were when the bride decided to blindfold the groom and do his hair before the ceremony, the little miss staring at mom’s dress, and little mr fixing dad’s tie! These sweet gestures capture the love this family shares! 

Carver Event Center provided the perfect backdrop for this celebration. Nestled in Happy Valley, the venue’s charming woodsy setting and warm, inviting atmosphere created an ideal blend of romance and elegance.

There’s something special about photographing a couple whose love you’ve watched evolve. The way they looked at each other, the way their families embraced—it all told a story that went far beyond just one day.

From the tearful first look to the joyful dance floor celebrations, every moment was filled with joy. I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of their journey.

To the newlyweds—thank you for letting me capture your love story. Your wedding was a reminder of why I do what I do, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you next.
