I could wait for the gorgeous work of @patrobinsonphoto to post this wedding, but I think I’ll post it again when they’re ready instead. This past weekend was a creative dream. @efish711 and @dpom581 first came to me with a dream of a cozy hobbit home, with revolutionary war touches. I am so thankful to have worked with a spectacular group of vendors on this wedding. Building a venue from the ground up is no small feat, and this was flawless. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that made this happen!

Want to see one of the most unique ceremonies I’ve photographed? Sheba and Kyle’s spring wedding at The Black Bass was filled with beautiful traditions, thoughtful details, and so much joy from start to finish. Their ceremony included a Persian tradition called the Sofreh Aghd, a ceremonial spread filled with symbolic items representing love, prosperity, sweetness, and a joyful future together. Every piece on the table has meaning. Sheba actually designed and created the entire spread herself, which made it even more special. You could feel how much care and intention went into every detail. Right as the ceremony began along the Delaware River, the rain started to fall. Instead of taking away from the moment, it somehow made everything feel even more romantic. The misty river views, the sound of the rain, and Sheba and Kyle together surrounded by family created such a beautiful and intimate moment. This wedding was such a beautiful mix of culture, emotion, and celebration. One of those days that reminds me why spring weddings are so special.

Throwing it back to this dreamy shoot from 2019 that got featured on @weddingchicks . Soft light, garden inspired details, lush florals, and all the romantic textures that still make my heart happy. It’s wild how well this one has held up over the years. I don’t really do many styled shoots anymore, but this was such a fun creative season for me. A full circle moment too, because I also photographed Dana and Lucas’ actual wedding, which made this shoot even more special to look back on. Shoots like this shaped my love for details, color, and that bright, joyful feeling I bring to real wedding days now.
