Congrats to Rachel and Brandon! What an incredibly fun wedding at Pinnacle Golf Club celebrating along with their awesome group of friends and family! You can just feel the love and joyful energy in this group photo from their wedding reception in the ballroom at Pinnacle Golf Club!
The day started and ended surrounded by friends, smiles and laughter as they began getting wedding-ready in the beautiful bridal suite on-site at Pinnacle. Such a convenient (and pretty) space to set the stage for the day! A simple thing, but it's so nice having a designated place to safely hang the bridal gown, and capture some nice images of the getting-ready process with your friends and family.
A reveal of the bride's final wedding day look with her bridesmaids and family is always full of so many fun moments to capture.
There were a few very happy tears shed throughout the day- among those when Rachel read a letter from her soon-to-be husband. Brandon was just down the hall in another room hanging out with his friends getting ready.
And speaking of, those getting ready moments aren't just reserved the for the bride! We captured a few casual moments of Brandon and his groomsmen, as well as some nice classic group portraits shortly before he and Rachel were about to do their first look nearby.
Just before Rachel and Brandon prepare to see each other, the bride and her dad share their own special moment. I'm pretty sentimental and had a wonderful relationship with my own dad, so moments like this really hit me in the feels! You can definitely see where Rachel gets her fun-loving energy. Her relationship with her parents was so sweet to witness. Moments like these really make me especially thankful for my job as a photographer. Witnessing so many positive and happy moments on a regular basis is such a privilege.
I love everything about this moment! The beaming smiles and laughter say it all!
Ok, now for the most important reveal of the day - the first look for the bride and groom. This was one of my favorites!
I just love the excitement on both of their faces!
Needless to say their moms were taking in the moment as well! Then time for their friends to join in on the fun - group hug!
Not only is Rachel absolutely stunning in her Dany Tabet sheath gown, she is quite possibly one of the most genuinely sweet and thoughtful people you could meet! Gracious, kind, and just a joy to be around!
After an afternoon of capturing portraits, it's finally time to head and relax a bit before the ceremony! The outdoor courtyard ceremony space at Pinnacle is one of my favorites! The stone archways make such a beautiful backdrop for the wedding party and bride as they walk down the aisle.
I just love this emotional image of the groom and his best man looking on. The groom is tearing up a bit with a smile as he watches his bride walk down the aisle.
Rachel definitely could not contain her excitement and happiness as she walked down the aisle toward Brandon, escorted by her very proud dad.
Moments like these create the perfect opportunities for capturing natural and truly candid images of not only the bride and groom, but all their family and friends as they share in the excitement!
I love this image so much! The bride is about to join her groom on the altar, with both her father and future husband looking at her clearly with so much love! The groomsmens expressions in the background just add nice context as well. Then that immediate heartfelt hug between Rachel and Brandon is just so sweet!
An image that clearly captures the scene of the day - this ceremomy space is just stunning. The large topiary trees that surround the space give the space a dreamy and intimate feeling.
Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs.! What a fantatic and heartfelt wedding ceremony! We couldn't have asked for a better day for their outdoor wedding ceremony! Such a happy and joyous moment as all their guests cheered along for them.
I just love outdoor wedding ceremonies at Pinnacle Golf Club!
I just love how truly excited everyone is for them! These "just married" moments of the bride and groom as well as their parents and wedding party are really representative of the general vibe of the whole day and carried well into the final moments of the reception.
Nothing better than a group hug and for an authentic impromptu candid image. I just love this photo of the newlyweds with both of their parents embracing them.
A celebratory cheer with their whole wedding party is definitely in order - let the party begin!
I truly appreciate a great cocktail hour space and the terrace at Pinnacle Golf Club certainly fits the bill!
Time to get the party started and welcome in the bride and groom! This wedding party did NOT disappoint with their level of enthusiasm for this awesome couple. It was GAME ON for this wedding day crew!
The cutest little sweetheart table!
After all the classic wedding reception traditions, the dance floor opened up and was packed until the very last song. An impromptu game of limbo always seems to be a hit!
A sparkler exit is always a fun way to cap off an amazing day! Cheers to the newlyweds on a beautiful and fun start to their marriage and thank you again for trusting me with capturing all the love and amazing energy of your wedding day!
