Stephanie + Nick

Wedding
May, 2024

Photographing this Lord of the Rings-themed wedding at Alexander Homestead was pure magic. The couple’s love for the Shire aesthetic shone through, starting with the invitations that looked like Bilbo Baggins’. front door! The day was filled with special touches that made it truly unique to Stephanie and Nick. She wore beautiful hand-embroidered shoes, and the groom had cufflinks with adorable pictures of their cats. It was a perfect mix of fantasy and personal charm, making their wedding day as unforgettable as the connection they had for each other.

Family and friends were at the heart of this Lord of the Rings-themed wedding. The couple’s warm personalities draw the sweetest people to them like a magnet, creating a circle of love and support. The ring bearer was an extra special touch—the little boy the bride had nannied for many years, who had become like family to them. It was clear that the couple’s love story was as epic as any Tolkien tale, with their nearest and dearest playing crucial roles in their own real-life fellowship.

I was absolutely thrilled to be the photographer for these lovely souls on their magical Lord of the Rings-themed wedding day. Capturing the genuine love and joy they share, surrounded by their incredible family and friends, was an honor. Their warmth and kindness shine through every moment, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of their journey. I wish them nothing but the utmost happiness in the world as they embark on this new adventure together, setting off into the unknown, hand in hand.
