A Ceremony Full of Love & Meaning

The anticipation built as Amaris and Clay prepared for their big moment. The bridal suite was filled with excitement. Amaris laughed with her bridesmaids, soaking in every moment of the morning. Meanwhile, Clay shared a quiet moment with his groomsmen, reflecting on the incredible day ahead.

The ceremony was deeply personal, filled with heartfelt vows and emotional moments. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Viewpoint, they promised forever.

Romantic Portraits & A Special Guest

After the ceremony, we snuck away for newlywed portraits. This is always one of my favorite moments. It’s a chance for couples to breathe, soak it all in, and just be together.
