A Beautiful Fall Wedding at The White Pine | Rachel and Luke’s Joyful Day

Rachel and Luke’s wedding day at The White Pine at the Hideaway at Reed’s Estates was everything a fall wedding should be. The golden leaves, the soft light that popped out just in time, and the cozy feeling of love in the air made it truly unforgettable. All week, the forecast called for storms, and the sky teased us with clouds throughout the morning. Thankfully, aside from a slight shower during bridal details, the rain held off, and we were gifted with the perfect day for their celebration.

Rachel and Luke were surrounded by their closest friends and family as they said their “I dos” in a heartfelt ceremony. One of the sweetest parts of the day was when everyone joined together for a family prayer. It was such a touching moment that showed just how strong the love and faith in this family are. There was laughter, a few happy tears, and an overwhelming sense of joy as they began their life together.

Of course, their adorable dog, Charlie, made a special appearance for photos, and he completely stole the show. I always love when couples include their pets in their wedding because it makes the photos so personal and meaningful. Charlie was just as happy as everyone else to celebrate his favorite humans!

As the evening continued, we moved into the reception where the energy came alive. Under the twinkling patio lights, Rachel and Luke shared their first dance surrounded by smiling faces and the sound of laughter. The dance floor stayed full all night as guests celebrated and created memories that will be talked about for years to come.

Looking back on their day, I’m reminded why I love what I do. Capturing moments like these—the quiet ones, the joyful ones, and all the little in-betweens—is such a gift. Rachel and Luke, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day. It was an honor to document your love story and all the beautiful details that made it uniquely yours.

A big thank you as well to my incredible team. My assistant, Abigail, and second shooter, Gabby, helped make the day run so smoothly. Your teamwork and support mean the world, and I’m so grateful for both of you.
