I got their invite in the mail and carefully opened it, beaming. They had chosen orange as their theme color and I was soooo excited. The beautiful bright colors of orange and yellow were integrated throughout Joe and Jamie’s day and accented the couple and their August wedding beautifully. Here are some of this beautiful couple’s details. More of the wedding coming up tomorrow!
Luc and Tess were married on a wonderfully HOT and humid day in June. Days like this are rare and shooting in long pants is not the most comfortable thing, but I have to say I absolutely love it! I know the days are limited and soon the cold winter weather will be upon us.
Much like the day, this beautiful couple emanated love toward one another, and I had a blast shooting under my good friend Elena Melling. Here are some shots from the day!
Thank you for sharing your wedding photos. They are absolutely gorgeous!!! What a beautiful event. My love to you both. Di
Details. They are one of my very favorite things to photograph on a wedding day. They are the pieces that make the wedding so unique and so particular to each bride and groom. Personality shines through the jewelry, programs and invitations, the cake decor, to the drinks themselves. Tess and Luc thought of them all.
I was privileged enough to shoot and assist for my good friend and co-worker, Elena Melling. Though we are typically in different roles, I couldn’t help but get all giddy knowing that I was to play a different part at this wedding. It was so good for me to see through the eyes of an assistant and to see her shine!
I believe every photographer should constantly be challenging him or herself into roles that they do not typically play on the wedding day. A brand new perspective come out and the details of the day can come shining through.
Both got ready at the Rosewood Inn, and bed and breakfast in Hastings. So elegant and peaceful.
I have to preface this photo before you take a look. Luc and Tess met in a Rockcliming club. Their topper was one of the most unique I have seen, I adored it!
Their ceremony and reception was held at Shaar’s Bluff in Hastings. It is a beautiful location for an outdoor wedding and the reception site was stunning as well.
After the ceremony was complete, we headed over to the Lemonade stand for some much needed lemonade and lawn games. More photos to come tomorrow.
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
