EB
CHRISTIAN
Set against the iconic backdrop of The Hay-Adams, EB and Christian's wedding embraced a classic approach to celebration. Rather than following trends, they focused on the details that would remain meaningful for years to come—family heirlooms, timeless design, and a gathering centered on the people who know them best. Elegant without feeling formal and refined without feeling distant, the day reflected a couple confident in exactly who they are.

I did not want any portraits that looked too “posed” or “scripted”. Instead we had absolutely gorgeous photography, and when we look through our album we immediately feel all of the energy and raw emotion of our entire four day wedding weekend. All of the pictures take us back to those fleeting moments and preserve them forever in print.
"They went above and beyond to unobtrusively capture us and our families for the most important weekend events of our lifetime!"
