Overcoming Obstacles together


The Wedding Against All Odds


In the world of weddings, unexpected challenges can arise at any moment. For Kristen and Casey, their journey to the altar took an unexpected turn just six months before their big day. As their photographer, I had the privilege of witnessing their remarkable story unfold, culminating in a breathtaking celebration at the picturesque Lingrow Farm.

Rising to the Challenge

Six months before their wedding date, Kristen & Casey reached out to me in a panic. Their original venue had gone bankrupt, leaving them uncertain if their dream wedding would even happen. The news was devastating, but little did we know that this setback would lead to an even more beautiful outcome. Over the next six months, they embarked on a whirlwind journey to salvage their wedding plans:

  • They secured a new venue
  • Found mostly new vendors
  • Completely revised their wedding day plan


A Day to Remember


Against all odds, Kristen and Casey's wedding day arrived, and it was nothing short of magical. Lingrow Farm provided a picturesque backdrop for their celebration, its natural beauty complementing the couple's love story perfectly. It was such an honor to capture every moment of joy, relief, and triumph that marked their special day.
