There is always something so special about the last wedding of the season!

There’s something so special about photographing the final wedding of the year. It always carries this soft, reflective energy…a blend of gratitude, nostalgia and that cozy “we did it” feeling. And THIS wedding? It was the PERFECT way to close out my season!

From the very beginning when me + kat walked into the bridal suite the morning of Christine + Camden’s wedding day, I INSTANTLY knew this was going to be such an easy and FUN day….and that’s exactly what it was! There was laughter that filled the room as they were getting ready, their favorite songs, and zero stress.

You want to know the craziest part? NO RUSHING!

No rushing. No unexpected timeline changes. Nothing was behind. In fact, we had downtime…which almost NEVER happens on a wedding day! Even the ceremony started a little bit early! It truly felt like a rare gift for the last wedding of the season, allowing us to slow down and soak in all the in between moments that really make a wedding day special.

Before the ceremony, Christine shared the sweetest first look with her bridesmaids and dad. One of my favorite surprises of the day happened not long after that when the ceremony was about to begin. Guests started pouring in, until there simply wasn’t enough seats left. People were happily standing along the sides, filling every corner just to witness these two say “ I DO ". It was one of those moments that instantly shows how loved a couple truly is. Also Camden might earn the reward for the best “groom reaction” when he seen Christine coming down the aisle!! He was almost dropped to his knees, and it was the sweetest moment to witness.

To know Christine + Camden is to know pure joy in every moment. They genuinely just adore being around each other. Everyone’s cheeks were hurting by the end of the evening from so much smiling and laughing throughout the day because it truly was the easiest, most joy-filled day…and the BEST wedding to end my 2025 wedding season on!

Christine + Camden, thank you for trusting me + kat to capture such a meaningful day to you. Your love for each other is so clear in every glance and laugh, and I am so honored to be a part of your story!!
