Christina and Ethan, with over five years of companionship, share a loyal and encouraging bond. Despite their demanding careers, they find solace in curling up on the couch, enjoying favorite shows, and playing cards or board games. Weekends are reserved for visits to friends and family, indulging in appetizers and drinks at restaurants. Recently, they’ve discovered a shared interest in wine tasting, adding a new dimension. When Christina and Ethan contacted me, I was thrilled to document their classy winter wedding day.

Despite heavy rain before and after, Christina and Ethan’s wedding day enjoyed clear skies. Simple yet heartfelt details made it special: Christina wore her grandma’s bracelet, friends handled her hair and makeup, and her mom arranged the flowers, a skill from past proms. The guest list leaned heavily towards family and ensured they captured moments with everyone. A request for guests to wear black added a touch of cohesion to the photos for a clean and straightforward record of a day filled with love and shared moments.
