Getting Ready – Editorial Bride and Groom Photos
The day began with Johnnie and Ciera in a beautiful sunroom decorated with stunning designer elements. The space had a gorgeous couch and vintage-inspired mirror, along with a white-clothed side table topped with gold designer accessories and accents – the perfect spot to capture them getting ready together. Ciera wore a stunning fitted dress with buttons down the back and a delicate bow, while Johnnie looked sharp in his classic black tuxedo. As he helped her get ready, I got to capture all their quiet, intimate moments together. They were so in love and even gave us a few spicy moments! These photos were exactly what I envisioned – editorial and moody, yet timeless and classy.
An Intimate Backyard Candle Lit Wedding
Next up was a wedding dinner that dreams are made of – Sia & Jake starred in this candlelit backyard celebration. The tables were styled with beautiful gold details, with understated white roses nestled between candle chandelier holders. These elements created an ambient romantic atmosphere that couples dream of for their wedding day. Our lovely “guests” raised glasses of champagne for toasts and applauded the bride and groom as they shared kisses. Sia and Jake looked incredible – she wore a ball gown made for a princess, while Jake rocked a cream color tuxedo with black detailing. Everything about this part of the shoot screamed old money, from the white roses to the gold cutlery.
The Classic Car Elopement
The classic car elopement with Pam and Shawn was easily the most fun concept of the day! These two gave us an incredible show, filling every frame with genuine laughs, warm hugs, sweet kisses, and knowing glances. While we photographers posed and prompted them, their natural chemistry and joy took over – the way they smiled and truly lived in the moment made them the perfect couple for this dreamy setup. They looked absolutely incredible, with Pam in a breathtaking vintage-inspired floral-embellished lace dress and Shawn rocking a caramel-colored suit. The two of them were so stunning, they even managed to steal attention from our gorgeous classic car!
Champagne Tower & Cake Cutting Celebration
After quick wardrobe changes into their party attire, Ciera & Johnnie and Sia & Jake hit the spotlight to show off their love of a good time and each other! The flash wedding photos captured pure joy with a stunning champagne tower, a beautiful black and white heart cake with “just married” lettering, and fun luxury accessories like Dior sunglasses and a gorgeous red Chanel bag. The whole vibe was exactly what the end of a wedding night should be – an absolute party and SO much fun to shoot!
