Cami + Justin | The Venue CU Wedding

Cami and Justin’s wedding from last Spring was absolutely stunning. Held at The Venue CU, the couple had a family oriented, intimate ceremony and reception.

Most of the day was spent at The Venue CU, doing everything from getting ready to the ceremony and reception. Cami and Justin wanted to have their newlywed portraits done at the Arboretum-Hartley Gardens. The couple requested that the portraits were in a beautiful outdoor space with lots of greenery, and I thought the gardens were the perfect setting.

Cami and Justin’s first look was so special. I love when couples I work with choose to do it and allow me to capture that incredible moment. The ceremony itself was perfect and lead to an intimate recepetion, where the family and guests laughed and loved together. Cami and Justin’s wedding was a timeless and classic day celebrating the love of a lifetime, and I want nothing but the best for the newlyweds!

“To love is to recognize yourself in another.”

I want to tell your story

Wedding photographs should tell the full story: the candid joy; the family photos grandma loves; the dance photos that leave everyone feeling connected long after the music stops playing…we get to know each other throughout the planning process – that’s why every package comes with engagement photos as well. So by your wedding day, we’re old friends, you’re comfortable with my camera, and your moments are genuine and never forced.
