From the moment I met Allison and John at their engagement session, I knew they were going to be such a fun couple to work with. Their radiant connection was undeniable, but what struck me most was their kind and easy-going spirit. That combination set the tone for a wedding day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Pulling up to The Ruby Cora on the morning of their wedding, I was greeted with smiles and the sound of laughter from Allison and her bridesmaids. The energy in the bridal suite was full of cheerful excitement, and it only grew stronger as the day unfolded.
One of the sweetest moments of the entire day came during Allison and John’s first look. The anticipation was written all over their faces, and when they finally saw each other, emotions ran high with happy tears. They shared private vows in the most stunning backdrop that The Ruby Cora offers, and it was such a tender, heartfelt exchange to witness.
Before the ceremony, Allison and John shared another special moment as they helped get their sweet daughter ready for the big day. Between fixing her hair and slipping her into her dress, the room was filled with laughter thanks to her adorable personality. She absolutely stole the show again as the flower girl, charming everyone as she scattered petals with the biggest smile.
The ceremony itself was breathtaking — held outdoors under a majestic tree on the property. Friends and family watched in awe as Allison and John promised forever to one another, their daughter right by their side. It was a picture-perfect moment.
After the ceremony, we captured family formals and then some playful, joy-filled portraits of the newlyweds with their daughter. The three of them laughed, giggled, and soaked in those first sweet memories as a family on their wedding day. Meanwhile, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio with drinks and a lively photo booth.
Once the reception began, the celebration truly kicked off. Heartfelt speeches brought both tears and laughter, followed by one of the most delicious wedding dinners I’ve ever experienced. The DJ kept the energy high, and the dance floor stayed packed all night long. From start to finish, it was a party to remember.
We ended the night with a spectacular cold sparkler sendoff that lit up the sky and perfectly capped off Allison and John’s day.
Allison and John, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding. It was such an honor to document your love story and the beginning of this new chapter for your family. I hope you enjoy just a few of these sneak peeks from your incredible celebration!
