I have been waiting for Olivia and Justin’s wedding day at Lakeview Pavilion since the moment we got off of our initial phone call a little over a year and a half ago. With all of my couples this year, and especially this one, I have felt instant connections where I know immediately that we are the perfect fit for each other. As a bride and groom, you end up spending more time with your photographer than you even do with each other, which is why it’s so important to make sure you choose a photographer you click with! I had so much fun getting to know Olivia and Justin during their whole wedding planning process and was so sad to leave their wedding at the end of their night!

Olivia and Justin’s wedding day was so beautiful and so emotional – I was crying during so many different parts of the day! From Olivia’s reveal with her bridesmaids, to seeing her Dad for the first time, to their first look at Bird Park, to Olivia and Justin reading each other their vows during the ceremony, I was a mess alongside everyone else watching these two become Mr. and Mrs. Friel! Olivia and Justin’s love is the real deal and you can sense it just from being around them for 5 minutes. Olivia and Justin, it was such an honor to capture your love! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day!

Big thank you to all the vendors who helped make this day so beautiful!
