As a documentary-style wedding photographer, these are the days I live for — the ones where the little moments feel as big as the “I do’s.” Joel and Michelle’s day was full of THEM! Everyone got ready in the rustic cabins tucked into the trees while guests filtered into camp, adding to the excitement through the fall air. The colors were unreal — golden leaves and moody light that made everything feel like a page out of a storybook.

The Details:

Michelle gave Joel a pocket watch engraved with her handwriting and a sweet little quote, and his custom cufflinks were a gift from his family too — both such personal, sentimental touches. These two just get each other, and their connection is absolutely magnetic. When they’re together, you can feel the joy radiating off them — it’s contagious. We were all laughing and smiling all day.

As we took portraits, it was so sweet to watch them notice all the little surprises around camp. Childhood photos were printed and hung between the trees, and guests filled out a custom crossword puzzle with personal answers that had everyone laughing and reminiscing. It was one of those weddings where every detail had heart behind it.

The food? Delicious. The drinks? Flowing. The dance floor? Packed. Their friends and family brought the energy and it felt like one long, joyful celebration of love.
