Macy & Noah’s wedding at Stonegate Glass Chapel was the definition of timeless elegance - with black, white, and gold details that gave everything a clean, elevated feel from start to finish.

Macy’s bridal details were absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite touches? A little white and gold tray she brought specifically for styling photos - such a simple idea that made her ring, invitation suite, and accessories really shine. After a sweet first look, we captured a few portraits before moving into bridal party photos. The entire group looked amazing and totally embraced the classy black-and-white theme.

We did have to wrap up portraits just a little earlier than planned due to a guest arrival mix-up, but honestly, it worked out. That gave me more time to focus on the reception details upstairs - and I am still not over the cake. The elegant black bow was such a cute and unexpected touch, and it tied in perfectly with the overall design of the day.

The ceremony took place inside the chapel and was beautifully personal. The officiant was the bride’s uncle, which made it all the more meaningful. Macy and Noah exchanged personal vows, and we found out they were getting married on their eight-year dating anniversary. Such a sweet full-circle moment.

After the ceremony, we captured family photos and then snuck out for a few more portraits of the bride and groom. It had rained earlier, which made it very humid during the second half of portraits - but Macy and Noah were absolute troopers, and the results were totally worth it.

And then came the party. This group was ready to celebrate. From a high-energy grand entrance to dancing that lasted all night, the reception was just plain fun. One of my favorite parts? The glow wands on the dance floor. It might sound silly, but I swear - give people something fun to do with their hands and they will go all in on the dance moves.

This was my first longer wedding in about a month, and I definitely felt it by the end of the night (especially while four days into carnivore, which made snacks and hydration interesting, to say the least). But all in all, it was such a joyful, memorable day, and I’m so glad I got to be there to capture it.
