Jason & Melissa’s May the 4th wedding was truly out of this world! 💫 I’ve known Melissa since our Rogues Hollow Regiment days, and it was such a special honor to capture their big day. From the love and laughter shared with their amazing family and friends to Jason’s right-hand Wookiee, 'Chewy' (seriously, he stole the show!), every moment was filled with heart. From the thoughtful gifts to the final send-off under a sea of lightsabers, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Congrats, Jason & Melissa, and may the 4th always be with you! ✨💍

Matt & Lisa are the power couple! Their love for each other shines through every moment of their wedding day. They are both incredibly sweet and talented individuals. I feel fortunate to have been able to capture their special day and witness the outpouring of love from their friends and family. Fun fact: Matt & Lisa are both avid fans of musicals, and even performed a piece from Moulin Rouge during their reception. It was a truly unique and memorable experience! The party bus ride was filled with their thespian friends singing and dancing, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. I am so proud of the wedding film we created for them, and Connor and I are grateful to have been a part of such a beautiful celebration of love.

My one condition is that you must plan for a bubble exit! We had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful Cleveland wedding with this lovely couple. The moment they exited the church, I was in awe of how perfectly the bubbles rained down, creating a magical atmosphere. The joy and excitement on their faces as they walked through the cascading bubbles made for a truly picture-perfect moment. #1989

River and Egypt's October wedding was a true testament to their love and commitment to each other. Despite a slight bit of rain, the sunshine broke through at just the right moments, adding a touch of magic to their special day. Surrounded by their loved ones and a strong support group, it was clear that River and Egypt are meant to be together. Their compatibility and genuine care for each other shone through in every aspect of the wedding. From the heartfelt vows to the joyful celebration, it was evident that these two have a deep and lasting connection. It was a privilege to witness such a beautiful union and to see the love that River and Egypt share with each other and with those around them.

Fast forward to October 2nd, 2022, when Jason popped the question to Melissa at their church - I was over the moon with happiness for them! 💍✨ Soon after, they reached out to me for an enchanting fall engagement photoshoot. Talk about perfect timing! 🍂 The colors of autumn provided the most stunning backdrop, perfectly complementing their love story. 🧡

And guess what? The excitement doesn't end there! 🚀 Save the date for their Star Wars-themed wedding on May 4th next year - I'm counting down the days! 🌌👰🤵

For those of you planning ahead, my schedule for Spring and Summer 2024 is filling up fast! 🗓️✨ And guess what?

📸✨ Hey there, my lovely people! Wedding season is in full swing, and it's been an absolute blast capturing all these beautiful love stories. (New Reels on the way, so stay tuned!) Today, I want to shine a spotlight on the incredible journey of Patrick and Jenny. They recently entrusted us with the honor of documenting their special day through both photos and film. 💖

We kicked things off with their engagement shoot last month, and let me tell you, it was an absolute joy! I actually go way back with Jenny—we were school buddies! So, reuniting with her and hearing all about their wedding plans felt like a heartwarming reunion.

Our adventure took us to the enchanting Kingwood Center Gardens in Mansfield. And let me be honest, at first, Patrick and Jenny were a tad bit camera-shy, giving me that classic "don't know what to do with our hands" moment. 🙈

But here's the magic of what I do: I reassured them, showered them with compliments, and shared sneak peeks of the adorable photos we were capturing along the way. It didn't take long for us to break the ice and start creating pure magic. We even threw in some spontaneous poses that had us all laughing and having a blast.

One thing I want every couple to know is that I don't walk into a photoshoot with a rigid shot list or pre-determined poses. My approach is all about exploring the space and capturing your most authentic selves. I believe in bringing out those cute, fun, and incredibly romantic moments that define your unique love story.

And Patrick and Jenny's engagement session? Well, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Here's a sneak peek at what we created together! 📷💫

Exciting news on the horizon, folks: We're now offering both Photo and Film services for couples looking to tie the knot in 2024 and beyond. But here's the kicker—we're limiting ourselves to capturing only 15 weddings next year. Why? Because we're committed to providing you with the most exceptional experience possible. 🌟

So, if you want to be part of the Orcadien family, don't wait too long! Spots are filling up fast, and we'd love nothing more than to tell your unique love story through our lenses. 💑✨
