Our first of 2026 (brought to you by the amazing Tori Beach Videography) is to celebrate Mr. & Mrs. Koller! 🖤

Tori hit this right on the nose, it’s perfection. The day was SO full of personal touches and the blending of families it was hard to NOT shed a tear watching this back!

Congratulations again you two, I hope you’re enjoying Cancún on that honeymoon! 🫶🏻

The first half we hung out in the bar… followed up by playing in the rain. I love my job. 😎🤩

INTRODUCING: Mr. & Mrs. Leville!

When Tori described Betsy as “a magical fairy of a woman” - she wasn’t lying. Betsy and Paul planned a micro elopement on the grounds of Allerton Park in Monticello, IL. It was just the two of them, her sister all the way from Ontario, and Tori & I (first time signing as witnesses if I recall correctly!) and we had a blast. Theirs is a love that will last, you can just tell. 🖤

Saturday Tori Beach • toribeach.com & I had a blast (as usual) spending the day with Kaitlyn & Jack. The day was filled with SO many sentimental touches which felt so right for the blending of these two tight knit families. These two have it made being surrounded by such loving and uplifting people. 🖤

It was an honor to document it all from our perspective; I can’t wait to show you MORE! 🤩

🌅 Picture this: The sun begins its descent, casting a warm, golden hue across the horizon. ⁠

📸 Your wedding reception is in full swing, but you’re itching for a quick escape. Here’s why those ten to fifteen minutes of sneaking out for sunset portraits are pure magic:⁠

Pros:⁠

1. Golden Hour Glory: The soft, golden light during sunset is like a photographer’s secret weapon. It adds a touch of enchantment to your portraits, making you and your partner glow like never before.⁠
2. Intimate Moments: It’s a rare chance for you both to escape the hustle and bustle of your reception and share a few quiet, intimate moments. The kind of moments that make for truly authentic, heartfelt photos.⁠
3. Time Together: Amidst the whirlwind of your wedding day, these minutes become a precious oasis where you get to simply be together. It’s a pause in the chaos, a chance to savor your first moments as a married couple.⁠

Cons:⁠

1. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): You might worry about missing some epic dance moves or heartfelt toasts. But remember, those moments will be captured too, and you can always sneak back in after your golden hour adventure.⁠
2. Time Crunch: It’s just ten minutes, so you’ll need to be quick. But trust me, it’s amazing what can be captured in that short span when the light is right and the chemistry is on point.⁠

In the end, it’s always been worth it. 🌟 So, don’t be afraid to sneak out for those portraits - they’re gonna be amazeballs. Your wedding gallery will thank you! 📢✨

It was a mad dash back to the suite for dress #2, then back down those Laurel Hall stairs (*swoon*) to greet her husband in her reception look. 🤌🏻⁠
