A Beautiful Wedding at Cypress Point

March 8th was a perfect day for a wedding at Cypress Point (formerly known as McClain Lodge), Taylor and Josh embarked on their marriage journey. I’m so thankful I had the privilege of capturing every magical moment through my lens. Although the day began with a touch of uncertainty as rain clouds loomed overhead, we seized the opportunity to capture breathtaking photos before nature intervened.

Taylor glowed in her elegant gown with gorgeous wings in lieu of a veil, Josh radiated joy in his eyes. The first look was one for the books with Josh absolutely mesmerized by he. Every shot reflected their deep connection and the anticipation of the day ahead. As we moved through the grounds of Cypress Point, the weather held just long enough for us to get some gorgeous photos.

The heart of the day unfolded in time for the ceremony, the skies opened. We had to make a last minute change from the beautiful outdoor ceremony area already perfectly decorated, to Cypress Point’s charming chapel. There  Taylor and Josh exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony as the rain poured and thunder and lightning crashed outside. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, their love filled the air as we discreetly documented every heartfelt moment—the tears, the laughter, and the promises made for a lifetime. As soon as the ceremony finished we were treated to a beautiful rainbow over the lake. What a beautiful sign on your wedding day!

After the ceremony

The celebration kicked into high gear with an unforgettable reception. Guests were treated to some seriously good food, paired perfectly with tunes by one of my favorite DJ’s, Adam, that kept the dance floor alive all night long. Taylor, Josh, and their loved ones danced under the twinkle of lights, reveling in the joy of the occasion. It was evident that this was more than a wedding—it was a celebration of love, friendship, and the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.

As a wedding photographer, moments like these are why I love what I do. Capturing not just images, but emotions frozen in time, is both an art and a privilege. Taylor and Josh’s wedding day was a testament to the power of love and the joy that surrounds it. Their energy and the love they share were palpable, making my job effortless and deeply rewarding.

Taylor, Josh—congratulations on your marriage, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Your love story at Cypress Point is one I will cherish forever, and I am grateful to have been able to capture the beauty and happiness of your wedding day. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Cheers to you both!
