What truly stood out was the beautiful, intimate touch of the bride and groom writing letters to each other to read while getting ready. This special moment set the tone for the entire day, showcasing their deep connection.

I had the most amazing time photographing an intimate backyard wedding in Columbia, Missouri recently. The setting was incredibly special as it took place at the house the bride grew up in. It was so heartwarming to see the love and memories that filled the space as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends.

In a world filled with grandeur and glimmering venues, sometimes the true essence of love gets lost in the spectacle. But picture this: an intimate backyard wedding nestled in the heart of Columbia, Missouri.

In the lead up to October 28th, 2023, Gemma and Benjamin had a vision for their wedding. They wanted to combine the elegance of old Hollywood with the charm of the Italian countryside. They aimed to create a perfect mix of soft and glamorous elements.
