Autumn is busy around here… if I’m not at a wedding/session, you’ll catch me editing love stories or changing a poopy diaper (sometimes at the same time 😮‍💨)

A little romance, a little movement, and all the beautiful chaos that made Gracie & Carter’s wedding today day unforgettable. 🤍

There’s something about the moments between the posed portraits that I love most. The people, the energy, the fleeting little interactions that tell the story of what it actually felt like to be there.

A few favorites from today’s celebration, and I already can’t wait to share more. 🥂

From start to finish, Kim & James had one magnificent wedding day, packed full of love for each other and every single person who came to celebrate them. 🤍

Their day began with a beautiful full Catholic Mass before heading to Brookdale Farms for a celebration that was nothing short of INCREDIBLE.

But first, a little behind the scenes story. 😂

Because their Mass ran longer than anticipated, we had exactly 12 minutes to accomplish ALL of their family portraits before we needed to leave the church. And when you’ve got a large family and a tight timeline, sometimes your photographer has to get a little LOUD. 😂

Later that evening, James’ dad told me he was actually scared of me after hearing me yell in church. HA! But he followed that up by complimenting how quickly and efficiently we got everyone photographed. And THAT is always my goal. Get the photos, keep things moving, and get everyone back to enjoying the day!

Now, can we talk about the invisible string moment of the century?!

During cocktail hour, Brookdale Farms had two adorable goats named Jack and Whalen. And who happened to be holding them? None other than the groom’s cousin, JACK WHALEN. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. 😂🐐

And THE RECEPTION. Oh. My. GOODNESS.

A live band, an absolutely electric dance floor, and a room full of people who came ready to CELEBRATE. The energy was contagious from beginning to end. Between the dancing, the laughter, and all the little moments happening in between, this was one of those receptions where you could feel just how much everyone loved being together.

Kim & James, what a privilege it was to document a day so full of faith, family, love, and an unforgettable amount of FUN.

And to James’ dad, I promise I’m only scary when we’re running behind schedule. 😉

Sunset Bluffs deserved a second spot on the feed. 🤍

My favorite part about Subset Bluffs is that it gives destination wedding - the quarry, the suite & reception buildings, the water, the cliffs, the hydrangeas, and then that last bit of warm light disappearing behind the trees…It gives us so much variety without ever having to leave the property. You get the destination vibes with the breathtakingly beautiful Midwest sunset on the bluff.

For Cole + Miranda, we slipped away from the reception for just a few minutes as the sun was setting, and THESE are the moments I love creating. Nothing that takes you away from your people for lengthy periods of time. Just a few intentional minutes together, a little direction when you need it, and then right back to celebrating.

And I mean… that veil against the sunset?! 👩‍🍳🤌🏼💋

Cole + Miranda at Sunset Bluffs. 🤍

This day felt like such a beautiful reflection of who they are. There were sentimental touches woven throughout the entire wedding, little pieces of their story and the people they love tucked into the details. But what stood out to me most was just how deeply Cole and Miranda love their people, and how incredibly loved they are in return.

And Sunset Bluffs?! The quarry, the water, that ceremony view, and the way the light falls across everything as the sun starts going down. I would photograph here over and over again. 😭

Then the reception happened.

Miranda’s mom requesting Smack That by Eminem was absolutely iconic 😂 and, per usual, DJ Cole Coleman absolutely LIT UP the dance floor. The kind of reception where everyone is actually out there, the energy never dies, and you just keep finding moments everywhere you look.

It was SO. GOOD.

Cole + Miranda, your people showed up for you in every possible way, and getting to document all of that love was such a privilege. 🤍
