Noah and Abbigayle’s wedding day was so full of love and happiness. The gorgeous scenery and blooming flowers at the arboretum seemed to be just as happy for these two!

Noah and Abbigayle met in the air force and have been on cloud 9 ever since. I always love seeing a couple with such a strong common passion, and I loved even more seeing their family and best friends share it too.

This was the first time I’ve been able to shoot at Cox Arboretum, and it was so beautiful! I loved the variety of photo spots throughout the park and the natural light that flooded that indoor spaces. There were even some baby geese that hung around!

Abbi styled her day with simple touches. From the minimalist cake with frosted blueberries, to the lovely eucalyptus adorning the table. It was all so perfect for a venue with amazing views and lush blooms.

The day was full of heartfelt moments! Abbi’s dad brought me to tears twice when he saw his baby girl for the first time in her wedding dress, and when they shared a special dance. The speeches were so moving, and Noah’s sister moved everyone to cry with laughter when she brought a list she wrote at age 10 of what her big brother’s wife should be like.

Noah and Abbi, thank you so so much for having me there to celebrate your day! Loved being a part of it!

And a huge Thank You to the vendors who worked so hard!
