Couples and Bridal Party Photos
After the ceremony, we captured some stunning couples photos by the lily pads and garden area. We then traveled to a nearby beach house for bridal party photos and an intimate sunset couples session. The beach’s serene ambiance and the golden hour light made for breathtaking photos.

The Celebration
Despite a downpour later in the evening, the rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the guests. They danced for hours, soaking wet but full of joy and energy. What I love most about this wedding is the personal connection I have with Mickey and Charlie’s family. Having photographed Mickey’s sister’s wedding previously, I have spent a significant amount of time with them, and sharing their whole day with them made the experience even more special.


Capturing Mickey and Charlie’s wedding was an honor and a joy. Their love, the beautiful setting, and the lively celebration made for an incredible day filled with unforgettable moments.
