This Dover Hall Estate wedding was one for the books! Wow! Just incredible! From the planning to the florals to the dress and creative use of the property. It was just gorgeous!! We met Ryan and Danielle at their engagement session a few months back and we fell in love with them. They are truly as kind and thoughtful and sweet as they appear.
If you scroll through this blog post and think to yourself, “Wow, these people seem to be really loved and cherished”…. you would be right. Ryan and Danielle are the epitome of thoughtful, loving, and sincerely caring friends. They have a deep respect for life, for love and for the people who are closest to them! While the wedding day was absolutely stunning in decor and design, what MADE the whole event was their love for one another, their story and their appreciation for everyone who has walked with them in all seasons of life. There was a point in the ceremony where Ryan literally looked out to everyone who was in attendance, shook his head and teared up. Neither of them take for granted how special it is to be loved and surrounded by friends.
It was such an honor to be the ones capturing this day. This vendor line up was called the “Dream Team” on multiple occasions and it was truly just that! I can’t wait for you to see this one!! Enjoy getting to know our sweet clients, new friends and some of our best KJ Couple models to date!!!

As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
