I love photographing at Millwright’s and Dustin & Tara’s wedding was no exception. This is actually a pretty tricky place to photograph in as it’s all wood and in front of the ceremony space are big windows which they stand in front of to get married. Trying to keep out of the reflection, not only…
Spencer and Kylie’s wedding at Bill Miller’s Castle was such a good time! When I arrived there was a slight drizzle that lasted throughout getting ready photos and looking at the radar the forecast wasn’t looking good. Fortunately we did get some clear spots to go outside to pop some champagne and also bridal party…
