This was my very first ever paid lead wedding!!! I started weddings in 2025 and was super lucky to have so many amazing friends and family there to support me!! I had a friend from high school reach out to me to see if I was available to shoot their cousins wedding on a budget!! I said heck YES!
Kaelani and Mark truly had a beautiful day. They had their wedding at Willow Ridge Manor and it was a beautiful day surrounded by their friends and family!! My absolute favorite part of this day was all the candid's, all the tears and smiles.... That is when I knew i wanted to be a documentary wedding photographer. However, I also was absolutly in love with the couple portraits AND the super fun end of night outfit change! Mark helped kaelani change into her second outfit and we had a fun little booktok moment ;)
I have come a LONG way from this wedding and how I approach them and my gear and honestly everything, But this wedding will always have a special place in my heart!!
