Shooting Lindsey and Séan’s Rose Hill Estate wedding was one of my highlights of the year. The day rolled out with ideal weather, a gorgeous venue, and moments that hit all the right notes: the perfect combination for a wedding photographer!
The couple’s first look by the lake was beautiful to witness and document. Against the peaceful scene, Lindsey and Séan exchanged private vows and the raw emotions were there for the taking—capturing a real, unfiltered connection. The wedding itself under the pecan grove’s golden canopy of autumn foliage provided the ideal setting for their intimate ceremony and the light was just perfect.
During the golden hour, I made the most of the warm light for the family pictures by the fountain followed by some lovely intimate portraits of the newlyweds. The chemistry between Lindsey and Séan was on full show, resulting in some natural, timeless shots.
After dinner, Making Memories DJ got the dancefloor moving and Chad Biggs Events made sure the entire day flowed seamlessly from start to finish.
Here are just a few of my favourite photos from Linda & Séan’s day. Love and best wishes to the happy couple!
