Some weddings feel extra personal—and this one truly did. Marie, the beautiful bride, is not only someone I’ve worked alongside at countless weddings, but also a talented photographer in her own right. So being the one to photograph her and Luke’s special day was both an honor and a joy.
The day began with sunshine spilling across open fields and quiet excitement in the air. Everything about Luke and Marie’s wedding reflected them—warm, relaxed, and full of genuine connection. Marie’s attention to detail showed through in every element, from the soft color palette to the simple yet elegant touches woven throughout the decor.
As photographers, Marie and I have captured many love stories together—but seeing her as the bride, experiencing every moment firsthand, was something entirely different. She was radiant. Luke looked at her like she was his whole world (because she is).
In the late afternoon, the light was absolutely perfect for portraits. We stepped away into a quiet spot for some couple photos, with golden tones brushing the edges of the trees. Then, as the evening set in, clouds rolled over the horizon. The soft gray sky added a moody, romantic feel to the final shots of the night—a dramatic and beautiful shift that somehow felt poetic.
The entire day felt like a deep breath—filled with laughter, hugs, happy tears, and so much love. Luke and Marie’s wedding was a celebration of two people who truly know each other and have chosen each other, every day, for life.
Marie, thank you for trusting me to capture your day. It meant the world.
