Getting Ready

We began the day with detail shots, focusing on the elegant ring box personalized with Erin and TJ’s names and their wedding date. Thoughtful touches like these set the tone and showcased the couple’s personality. Afterward, I joined TJ and his groomsmen, capturing their laid-back camaraderie as they prepared for the day. Erin and her bridesmaids brought plenty of energy, especially when Erin popped a bottle of champagne to kick off the festivities.

The Ceremony

Erin opted not to do a first look, choosing instead to make her entrance walking down the aisle to TJ’s beaming smile. The natural mountain breeze swept through the barn as they exchanged vows, adding a touch of drama to their intimate, laughter-filled ceremony.
