There was something so deeply personal about Ariela and Grant’s boho wedding day! They got married on Grant’s family property, surrounded by the people who mattered most. It was clear that every guest was someone they truly wanted there, someone who had been part of their story and showed up to celebrate what the Lord is doing in their lives. The love, the excitement, and the way they cared for their people (and each other) was so genuine, and it made the whole day feel even more meaningful. This is exactly the kind of wedding I love to capture—intentional, heartfelt, and full of so much JOY!
Every part of Ariela and Grant’s boho wedding day was filled with the kind of thoughtful details that make a wedding feel so personal and unforgettable. The moment I saw the mismatched rugs lining the aisle, I knew this day was going to be something special! It was the perfect touch of warmth and personality leading up to one of the most heartfelt ceremonies. One of the sweetest moments was when their entire bridal party placed a hand on them during the ceremony prayer, a powerful reminder of the love and support surrounding them as they stepped into marriage. I love seeing couples dedicate their marriage to the Lord! It’s such a special thing to witness!
Their golden hour portraits were just as magical as you’d imagine! Soft, glowing light, the two of them soaking in every moment together, and pure joy written all over their faces.
