I had the pleasure of capturing Gary and Alyssa's love story from the very beginning, starting with their engagement shoot at a local state park alongside their two adorable dogs. Their infectious laughter and genuine affection made it clear that their wedding was a celebration of love, joy, and individuality.

Gary and Alyssa put their personal touch on every detail of their wedding, crafting handmade decorations, souvenirs, and giveaways. Gary's artistic talents shone through as he created custom signs for the event using repurposed wood pallets. The overall atmosphere was incredibly casual and relaxing, perfect for a couple who valued authenticity and genuine connection.

The wedding was filled with fun and laughter, with games like beer pong, cornhole, and rounds of shots keeping guests entertained. The first look was a particularly heartwarming moment as Gary and Alyssa held hands and kissed without seeing each other. I captured the tenderness and emotion of this special moment.

Alyssa's stunning diamond ring was a symbol of their love and commitment. The ceremony was filled with traditional elements, including the daughter walking down the aisle with her father, the exchange of vows, the first kiss, and the joyful exit as a newly married couple.

We took advantage of the beautiful light to capture stunning portraits of Gary and Alyssa. The couple's love and happiness radiated through the images, creating lasting memories of their special day.

The reception was a celebration of love, music, and dancing. The first dance was a romantic and emotional moment, followed by the traditional father-daughter dance. The dance floor was alive with energy as guests celebrated and danced the night away.

Gary and Alyssa's wedding was a perfect reflection of their personalities – fun, loving, and authentic. Their DIY approach and attention to detail created a truly unique and memorable experience for everyone involved.
