⚔️🌿 Not every wedding needs matching tuxes, formal traditions, or a perfectly scripted timeline.
Sometimes a wedding looks like a fantasy tavern tucked inside a magical forest.
Sometimes the groom carries a sword.
Sometimes the guests arrive in medieval garb.
And sometimes two wonderfully nerdy humans create a wedding day that feels like it was pulled straight from the pages of a fantasy novel.
Savvy and Avery's wedding at Once Upon a Time Events was one of the most unique celebrations I've ever had the privilege of photographing. Inspired by everything from Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls, Celtic traditions, and their shared love of fantasy worlds, they built an experience that felt completely and unapologetically them.
Every detail was intentional. Moss-colored linens. Lanterns and candlelight. Crowns. Cloaks. Swords. Forest-inspired décor. A room full of people who embraced the theme and stepped into the story right alongside them.
What I loved most wasn't the incredible styling (though let's be honest... it was AMAZING). It was watching two people completely let go of expectations and create a wedding centered around what actually brings them joy.
They didn't plan a wedding to impress anyone.
They planned a wedding that felt like home.
A wedding where they sang a duet together.
A wedding where family members cried happy tears.
A wedding where fantasy, friendship, love, and community all collided into one unforgettable day.
As a photographer, I absolutely LOVE when couples throw tradition out the window and create something that reflects who they truly are. Savvy and Avery did exactly that, and it was an honor to document every magical second of it.
Honestly? If more weddings involved swords, flower crowns, fantasy taverns, and people being unapologetically themselves, I would not complain one bit. ❤️
Savvy & Avery, thank you for letting me step into your world for a day. It was magical from beginning to end.
