Behind the lens: Capturing Emily & Bryan’s wedding day
Photographing Emily and Bryan’s whimsical rustic wedding at a botanical nursery was one of the most unique experiences of my career so far. The nursery has been in Emily’s family for years and is now run by Bryan, making it not just a stunning backdrop but a deeply personal choice for their big day. Their intimate, DIY micro-wedding, with only 30 guests, was a photographer’s dream in many ways — though it also presented challenges that required creativity and flexibility.

Whether you’re dreaming of cozy winter photos, romantic spring blooms, or the vibrant hues of autumn, choosing the right season can elevate your session and make it feel uniquely you.
