Fall is my favorite time to capture weddings, like Matt and Taryn’s at Dragonfly. Their daughter Isla made an adorable flower girl, and it was a joy working with their fun wedding party and vendors like Mystify Music and White Oak Wedding Films.

Afton and Alliyah laughed and danced through every moment of their perfect spring wedding at Dragonfly! They were both stunning and elegant!

The weekend of their engagement session, Alliyah and Afton wanted to reclaim their original wedding date! They were set to be married on August 1st, so we set out on August 2nd to take back the date!! It was a beautiful day and it started raining but the best part was it ended with rainbow!!

These two!! Oh my! They are hilarious and incredibly sweet! From the time we had their engagement session up until their wedding, I couldn’t wait for their big day. Every detail throughout their day was perfect! Of course I have to mention their gorgeous wine bottles with a photograph from their engagement session as the label!!
