The same creative approach and six completely different expressions of celebration ⬇️

✨ Solene + Jim — Château de Cormicy (Cormicy, France)�This couple planned a quiet, intimate destination wedding in the French countryside that felt like a luxury dinner party. Their pup (Jax) trotted around the grounds of Château de Cormicy, delicious appetizers and desserts were served in the evening, and most of the night was spent around candlelit tables with their closest people.

✨ Claudia + Gabriel — Off Map Glamping (South Haven, Michigan)�Claudia and Gabriel’s wedding was curated 100% to fit their personalities. The bride sculpted bud vases for the reception tables, the groom designed drinking glasses as wedding favors, and together they created a cocktail hour / dinner / dessert menu of their favorite foods. The whole day felt cozy, artistic, and honest.

✨ Daniel + Lukasz — Galleria Marchetti (Chicago, Illinois)�This classy Chicago celebration was characterized by jewel color tones and family culture. Polish wedding traditions were thoughtfully incorporated into the day. Cocktail hour was intentional and elegant, and Galleria Marchetti was packed full of people who genuinely wanted to celebrate the bride and groom.

✨ Ally + Ian — The Covenant Place (Marion, Indiana)�This summer wedding revolved around community and hype. Ally and Ian enjoyed an outdoor wedding ceremony at The Covenant Place, a sunflower patch at sunset, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night.

✨ Ysa + Curtis — Huffman Manor (Fairbanks, Alaska)�This Alaska destination wedding felt more like a weekend gathering with friends than a formal event. The couple enjoyed a slow morning, making hot chocolate with their guests, and having a PJ party wedding reception in Fairbanks.

✨ Emma + Sam — Ivy House (Saugatuck, Michigan)�Emma and Sam’s Michigan greenhouse wedding ceremony was characterized by layers of greenery, a floral arch, and warm sunshine. The live band was our favorite part of their Ivy House wedding reception!

All different locations and designs— but the same intentional photo style consistently present in each gallery.

Introducing Kai Ling and Aaron’s winter wedding photos ✨

Some blessings that Jesus gifted this couple for their weekend of celebration:

🌿 Pure joy from tying the knot together
🌿 Biblical songs, prayers, and truths shared throughout the day
🌿 Kai Ling’s beautiful wedding dress from Facebook Marketplace
🌿 A sunny, winter day in Kansas City
🌿 So many selfless friends who helped rearrange furniture, steam linens, arrange florals, decorate tables, and even bake their cake
🌿 No one catching on fire during their sparkler exit 🎉

It was a privilege for me and Daniel to get to know these two better and document such a special occasion in their lives. We can’t wait to see where the Lord takes them as they face the world together!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ✨

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Rachel’s bridal braids were 👌🏼 and we were all grateful that the rain held off to preserve her wedding look. And of course, Zach and his guys all looked sharp in their tan suits.

Their wedding reception was full of intentional details— Rachel chose to have decor with terracotta tones, gold accents and boho touches that made the barn feel welcoming and earthy.

Some of our favorite details were the donut wall (yes, a whole wall of donuts!) and the Polaroid camera guest book — an interactive activity for guests to leave behind little pieces of the day.

Sometimes our work feels too good to be real. It leaves us feeling like this: 😲

Daniel and I are still taking in the incredible experience we’ve had …

• Forming new friendships with Jim and Solene
• Documenting their wedding celebrations both in the USA and in France
• Witnessing the beautiful merging of two different family cultures
• Feeling seen as more than photographers and videographers through the ways both families welcomed us with open arms
• Participating in the rich food, fellowship, and joy that they share

Many more photos + grateful thoughts to come from this wedding weekend experience at the breathtaking Château de Cormicy. ✨ Swipe to the end to see the photo Solene’s father (also a photographer) snapped of us at the end of the day. 😊

Husband and wife photos— but graduation themed. 🎓

So proud to have a brother and a sister-in-law who rely on Jesus through the ways that they have prioritized both marriage + college degrees! Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting their engagement, wedding, and now graduation.

This chapter of McKenna and Jack’s life has come to a close, but another beautiful one is on the horizon. ✨

Congrats to crossing the finish line!! 🎉

PSALM 68:35

“Awesome is God from His sanctuary;
the God of Israel—He is the One who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!”
