Stories of love & legacy
A holistic storytelling experience through photography & ceremony.
Wedding events are more than the day — they are curated narratives about the best of us; they are the culmination of connections made and generational love. They hold the weight of shared histories, chosen family, fleeting moments, and the promises of what’s to come. Weddings are a declaration to the world that we believe in love and we appreciate each connection that has made this moment in time possible.
In each blog post, you’ll discover the emotions that connect us all—the joy, the anticipation, the deep love that makes weddings so universally meaningful. We hope that you will see yourself and your loved ones in these images. We hope you’ll feel the energy, the connection, and the shared human experience unfolding.
Whether you’re planning your own celebration or simply drawn to the beauty of love in its many forms, our goal is for you to find a piece of your own story reflected here.
“Weddings are a common bond, and through the gift of ceremony and our visual lens, they remind us how deeply we are all connected.”

Cristyn + Matt | Prallsville Mills Wedding Celebration
There are so many small decisions that need to be made on the wedding day that it can feel a bit overwhelming. It’s so tempting to just decide to do what you’ve seen your friend do in the past, for example. But when we reframe this and think about these decisions as opportunities for alignment and ease, it gives you the power to create a wedding day that’s going to feel like you, and that’s going to fill your cup and more.
And that’s exactly what Cristyn and Matt did for their wedding day at The Prallsville Mills in New Jersey. The event was a perfect reflection of who they were as a couple—authentic, natural, and far from traditional. The day was filled with meaningful, unpretentious moments that captured the essence of their relationship, set against a romantic, rustic backdrop.
