There is no doubt that a wedding is by far the most important and personal day of someone’s life. To be honest, this wedding felt a little personal. We first met McKaylee when we photographed her sister’s wedding a few years ago and we just loved her family. Fast forward to meeting Michael and getting to know McKaylee better and it really feels like we were truly guests with fancy cameras. We really just felt like an extension of this beautiful couple’s family & friends.
These two have waited a long time to get married (since 2019!) But I truly believe all good things are waiting for and their wedding was most definitely worth it. Every detail was thoughtful and personal. I also should mention that McKaylee is crazy talented at Calligraphy and you can see that throughout the paperíe and down to the personalized notes that these two each wrote on their guests’ place cards. That’s just who they are, thoughtful, & just some of the sweetest people you will ever meet.
Michael & McKaylee, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. While there is no doubt that your wedding was beautiful, I dare not say it’s as beautiful as the two of you- together!

There is something about someone who knows exactly what they want. That was Margaret. She was confident in what she wanted in a wedding; her closest friends & family, the smallest of details, and of course that she wanted to get married to Adam. Margaret has a timeless beauty about her, and you can immediately […]
Like so many other couples this year, John & Carleigh had to make the difficult decision to move their wedding date. All good things are worth waiting for. Everything about these two and their wedding was just that, perfect. The wedding consisted of what matters the most; marrying the love of your life surrounded by […]
There is nothing sweeter than an intimate elopement. When Chung reached out months ago (all before a global pandemic hit) that she was planning an elopement, I was excited! We have known Chung for a few years through the wedding industry and we felt honored that she would choose us to be the lucky few […]
I loved everything about this elopement and we couldn’t help but be a long time fan of Chad & Melanie. These two have been together for so long and we would often see them together at past weddings we photographed. So when they finally got engaged, we weren’t surprised, and then when Melanie reached out […]
