Averee and Gus’s wedding day at the Marengo House was nothing short of perfect. It was one of those ideal fall days where the air is crisp, but the temperature is just right — a beautiful setting for a celebration of love. Averee’s family has been close friends of ours for years, so it was an absolute honor to be asked to capture her wedding day.
What made the day even more special for me personally was that our daughter, Camryn, was asked to be one of Averee’s flower girls. As a mother and a photographer, it’s a rare and wonderful experience to not only witness but participate in such an important day. Having my family there, with Camryn dressed in her adorable flower girl gown, added a personal touch to the day that I’ll cherish forever.
Everything fell into place seamlessly from start to finish. There was an ease to the day that is rare at weddings, where a little chaos is typically expected. As the day wound down, Averee’s mom, Lauren, and I commented on how there were no mishaps — not even the smallest hiccup! The ceremony was standing room only, a testament to how loved Averee and Gus are by their family and friends. Once the reception began, the celebration really kicked off. The dance floor stayed packed throughout the night, filled with friends and family dancing and celebrating the happy couple.
Averee and Gus, I can never thank you enough for asking me to photograph your wedding! It was truly an unforgettable day and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it, both as a photographer and as a friend. We love y’all so much!
