I don’t know if it was fate or soulmates or maybe just the perfect timing of life, but Kelsey and Will were meant to be together. I knew it as they shared their vows privately prior to their ceremony. Their vows mirrored each other – the same stories, the same events special to their relationship. Everything that mattered, mattered to both. It was going to be a perfect day to celebrate love. Their Hidden Vineyard wedding was held in August with warm winds and the most romantic sunset. The day was hot, but it was that heat that fades from your mind because all you remember was the magic.

After making it through 2020, I think everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Because surely, we wouldn’t have to face these same decisions again in 2021. While the outlook of 2021 as a whole looks incredibly more positive than it did a year ago, events for the foreseeable future will have to look different. Weddings will have to change. While they might not be 300+ guest lists parties, I believe they can be just as (if not more) special as you initially imagined.

Audrey and Coty’s wedding day was a whirlwind of perfection, honestly. I had been looking forward to their wedding since their engagement session last fall. They are such a carefree, happy couple who I knew (no matter the weather or day-of hiccups) would be happy and visibly in love on their wedding day. They just want to be together, and I was delighted that I could be with them all day as witness to this.

Jen and Charley were married on the hottest day of the summer. I remember sitting outside of Man Camp with an ice pack on my legs and begging for relief from the heat. And it came. The heat faded as soon as Jen and Charley saw each other for the first time. They danced through mist & rain drops and held each other close; and I took some of my favorite pictures I've ever taken in my wedding career.
