Candid & Relaxed Wedding Getting Ready Moments

Lydia and Tony’s wedding day at Holcomb Farms was a total vibe—relaxed, fun, and totally in tune with who they are as a couple. From the get-go, they kept things chill. They didn’t want the pressure or fuss that sometimes comes with the getting ready process. Instead, they were all about keeping it simple and real.

As a photographer, capturing candid moments is always the goal, but with Lydia and Tony, the entire getting ready experience was one big photojournalistic dream. Lydia was hanging with her closest friend, while Tony and his groomsmen were getting suited up in a stylish way that reflected their personalities.

Tony’s attention to detail was on point. Each of his groomsmen had custom-made pocket squares, and the highlight was Tony’s family heirloom—a vintage pocket watch. It was so effortlessly cool. It was the perfect touch to a day that felt like a blend of timeless tradition and modern-day ease.

Heartfelt First Look: Capturing Authentic Moments in a countryside setting

The vibe was peaceful, with the classic barn backdrop setting the scene, but it was the emotions that stole the show. As Lydia approached Tony, you could feel the anticipation in the air. It wasn’t about the poses or perfection—it was about them, soaking in that once-in-a-lifetime moment. The way they looked at each other, full of love and appreciation, was the kind of candid magic we live to capture. Rustic, raw, and real.

No Poses, Just Personality: A Natural & Authentic Portrait Session

Lydia and Tony’s portrait session at Holcomb Farms was everything they hoped for—natural, personality-filled, and bursting with joy. They ditched the stiff poses for moments that truly felt like them. From big, genuine smiles to playful races (yes, Lydia literally ran and gave Tony a run for his money!), their love and energy were front and center. Every laugh, glance, and even Lydia’s impromptu workout showcased their vibrant connection. As a wedding photographer, I thrive on capturing these candid, unscripted moments that reflect who you really are. Lydia and Tony’s session wasn’t just photos—it showcased their personalities, and their shared sense of adventure.

Relaxed, Candid, and Full of Life: Family Portraits That Feel

Family portraits at your wedding don’t have to be stiff or boring—they can (and should!) be full of personality, just like Lydia and Tony. The vibe was set right from the start with Lydia’s dad pulling her into the biggest, most emotional hug. From there, it was all about big reactions, belly laughs, and little moments of joy. Family portraits should feel like your family, perfectly imperfect and full of life—just the way I love it.
