a green wedding meets fall


Gillian and Brittany’s wedding was a dreamy mix of green accents and fall magic, filled with love, laughter, and so many unforgettable moments. They thought of every detail—from the stunning color palette to the ways they honored loved ones who couldn’t attend in person—and the day felt both heartfelt and fun.

The morning started with Gillian getting ready with her girls and Brittany surrounded by her friends. One of my favorite moments? Gillian’s first look with both of her dads—the pure emotion was everything. The bridal party got a little playful too, with Gillian “icing” them for fun, setting the tone for a day full of joy.

The ceremony was beautiful, intimate, and sprinkled with laughter. Gillian even pulled a playful prank on Brittany during the ring exchange—pretending she had forgotten the ring… only to reveal it from her dress pocket (yes, pockets in the dress, and yes, she was so excited!). Afterward, we stole away into the woods for some intimate newlywed photos, capturing the couple just for themselves.

The evening ended in pure celebration—dancing, singing, and laughter as everyone celebrated the newlyweds. From playful moments to tender memories, Gillian and Brittany’s wedding was an absolute dream to capture, and it’s a day they—and their guests—will never forget.

Gillian is lucky enough to be loved by not one, but two dads! She wanted to do separate first looks with each dad and let me tell ya, they did not disappoint! There was lots of emotion flowing in all the sweetest ways!
