the Caprices

Some weddings are so full of intention and joy that they leave an imprint on your soul. Elly and Robert’s wedding at Tyler Arboretum on June 31st was one of those days—a celebration of love, authenticity, and pure beauty.

From the moment I arrived, Elly’s stunning smile lit up the room. Her excitement was contagious, and it was clear that today was going to be something special. Robert, calm and collected, had that same quiet confidence. The two of them had crafted a day that reflected their love in the most personal and meaningful ways.

One of the most touching parts of the day was their decision to do a first touch and share private vows before the ceremony. Between two buildings, hands intertwined, they shared their most heartfelt words with one another—just the two of them. That intimate moment set the tone for the rest of the day: intentional, full of love, and deeply personal. And then the rain moved in.

Before the ceremony began, there was a slight reprieve from the rain. However, as Elly walked down the aisle, the clouds let loose, but even still Robert's face lit up with emotion as he saw her for the first time. Amidst the downpour the happiness was radiating! A ceremony I will never forget!

Their family and friends, full of joy and love, gathered around them, and their heartfelt speeches were a reflection of the deep bonds they share. Every word spoken was a testament to the incredible love that Elly and Robert have built together. 

It was a reminder that while the details of a wedding day matter, it’s the connections and the people who fill those moments that truly make it unforgettable.

For a photographer, this was the kind of wedding that fills your heart. Not because of perfect weather or choreographed moments, but because of the authenticity and emotion that poured into every second of the day. Elly and Robert didn’t just plan a wedding; they created a day that was wholly theirs, staying true to what they value most.

To Elly and Robert, thank you for letting me be a part of your love story. Your wedding was a beautiful reminder of the power of intention and love. You celebrated every moment with grace and joy, and I feel honored to have been there to capture it all.

For those planning their own weddings, take a page from Elly and Robert’s story: embrace the unexpected, cherish the little moments, and let your day reflect who you are as a couple. It’s those moments, whether rain or shine, that make your day unforgettable.

In my photography, I strive to portray the romance and storytelling essence of each couple's journey. I want to document these precious moments in a simple and authentic way, creating a visual narrative that speaks to the heart. Ty and Lex's wedding perfectly embodied all these qualities and more. It was an honor to play a small part in their love story.
