Last Saturday, I had the absolute honor of capturing Tiara & Kris’s wedding day, and wow — it was one for the books.
Their ceremony at Good Shepherd Church was nothing short of breathtaking. The stained glass, the emotion, the love that filled the room… it was so special. One of the most touching moments of the day was watching Kris & Tiara take a quiet walk to visit his grandparents in the cemetery behind the church. It was a beautiful, & heartfelt.
Afterward, we headed to Spring Run Winery where the celebration continued with the most stunning lake view and a simple, elegant setup that let the natural beauty shine. The vibe was peaceful, intimate, and full of joy — honestly, the perfect setting for these two.
And here’s the wild part — Tiara & Kris planned this entire day from MICHIGAN! Long-distance planning is no joke, but they pulled it off flawlessly.
We seriously had a BLAST for our short time together. From laughter to happy tears, to gorgeous portraits at the lake — I loved every second.
