i feel so honored to have been a part of this special wedding. i was only there for a couple hours and with the time i had, i really wanted to capture the essence and the story of this day. it was a very small, very intimate wedding and i have a soft place in my heart for weddings of that kind. these two have a special kind of love and i so enjoyed being able to be around them when they united in marriage and for a bit afterwards to spend some time with them one-on-one. their love was comfortable, inspiring, tender, and they kept each other laughing – even through tears. i cried a few times myself at this one, but i always love when that happens. it means it’s real.
here are some of my favorites from my time at la grange for the wedding…



the beautiful bride.


the handsome groom.


when chris saw her for the first time…

her son walked her down the aisle… which was unbelievably sweet. i think this was when the tears started.

they wrote their own vows. so so beautiful. more tears. and laughter. ![]()

















thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your special day! i have no doubt you two will lead a long, happy life together. all my blessings!

Awesome job, Ali! I love the photos of them walking in the Vineyard, and that red door is perfect! It looks like it was such a sweet and intimate wedding.
As always, completely stunning, Ali! Such a sweet and intimate setting they had here. You captured it perfectly!
Love these! I think my favorite is of them kissing with the trees and lights behind them, although that barn is amazing too!
BEAUTIFUL WORK! CONGRATS OLGA AND CHRIS…xoxo
