As a destination wedding photographer, I’m lucky to document stories that are both personal and unforgettable. Olivia & Patrick’s wedding at Abby Rose, was exactly that — a celebration full of love, intimacy, and beautiful candid moments.
The day began quietly, with Olivia getting ready alongside her mother. Every detail — from her dress and invitation suite to her accessories — reflected her elegant, natural style. As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I focus on capturing real, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed — and there were plenty throughout this day.
The couple chose to do a first look before the ceremony, a private moment that felt both emotional and grounding. Their guests soon gathered at Abby Rose, a charming wedding venue in Violet, Louisiana, for a heartfelt ceremony held in front of a small garden chapel. The atmosphere was relaxed, joyful, and full of meaning.
Their reception was a true celebration: warm speeches, joyful dancing, the ring pull tradition, and a sparkler exit that closed the night with energy and emotion. These unscripted moments are what I love most about wedding photography — natural, intimate, and completely unique to each couple.
