Weddings

Looking back on Jenna & Taylor’s wedding, the first word that comes to mind is simply: wow. Their day was one of the most beautifully spontaneous and heartfelt celebrations I’ve had the honor of photographing. Every piece of it—from the quiet, meaningful moments to the epic dance floor energy—felt like a perfect reflection of who they are, both individually and as a couple.

We first met Jenna and Taylor during their venue walkthrough, and I remember walking away completely speechless. The vision they had crafted for their wedding was so thoughtful and layered. Not only had they chosen gorgeous locations, but every detail felt intentional and true to them.

The day began with an intimate harbor-side ceremony, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. The light off the water was soft and golden, and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. It was the kind of ceremony that didn’t just look beautiful—it felt beautiful.


After that, we made stops along Ocean Drive and at a timeless Newport mansion, Rough Point, for their newlywed portraits. The architecture, the gardens, the classic elegance—it was the perfect backdrop for their first quiet moments as newlyweds. Add in the 1962 Thunderbird they brought along (yes, really!) and you have a scene straight out of an old romantic film. It was dreamy, fun, and so uniquely them.

As the sun began to dip, we made our way to a vineyard celebration that was full of life, laughter, and really good dancing. Jenna and Taylor’s friends and family brought such an infectious energy—it was clear how deeply loved these two are. From heartfelt toasts to twinkle lights above the dance floor, the whole night felt like magic.

But above all the stunning locations and curated details, what stood out most was the love. Jenna and Taylor were absolutely glowing all day. They radiated joy, calm, and this incredible sense of presence—like they were fully soaking in each second. And honestly? That’s what makes a wedding unforgettable.


Taylor and Jenna, thank you for letting me be part of something so personal and special. Your wedding day was an absolute dream from beginning to end, and it will forever be one of my favorites. I’m wishing you a lifetime of adventures, inside jokes, deep love, and maybe a few more joyrides in that Thunderbird. 💌
