This past Friday was such a gorgeous day celebrating Callie & Ian’s wedding at the Hyatt Lodge! From their sweet morning prep to the incredible party that followed, every part of the day felt full of love and joy. When I think back on their wedding, so many incredible moments come to mind, but here are three that stand out the most…
#3. The couple’s intimate first look
As soon as Ian turned around to see Callie, BOTH of them had tears in their eyes. It was such a moving moment, and I felt so lucky to have a front row seat to capture the love these two share.
#2. Exploring the Hyatt Lodge grounds together
Because the day flowed so seamlessly, we had extra time to wander the beautiful Hyatt Lodge property. We got to visit spots I don’t always get to on wedding days, and it was so worth it! My personal favorite was the ivy wall — it gave us such a unique backdrop and a totally different look than we usually capture there.
#1. Their unforgettable first dance
Callie & Ian’s first dance was beautiful from beginning to end, but what really sealed it was the perfect dip kiss to finish. Their guests went wild, and the photo we captured is one you’ll definitely want to scroll down to see.
Callie & Ian, thank you so much for having me as your wedding photographer! I had such a fun time with you both and I just love the moments we captured together.
