Lauren + Jack's Wedding at Mildare Farms

Hey there, friends!

I’m beyond excited to share with you all a heartwarming journey I had the privilege to be a part of – Lauren and Jack's winter wonderland wedding! From the moment I connected with this incredible couple, I knew their day was going to be something truly special.

So, let me set the scene for you. Picture a historic estate nestled in a snowy landscape, with the cozy warmth of the house serving as the getting-ready hub and the breathtaking horse stables transformed into a magical ceremony and reception space. Yep, that's where the magic happened!

Lauren and Jack had envisioned a white and green winter wedding with modern classic vibes, and let me tell you, they nailed it! But beyond the aesthetics, what struck me the most was the overwhelming love and joy that filled every corner of the venue. These two not only shared a deep love for each other but also radiated warmth and affection towards their family and friends.

Now, let's talk about the chilly weather – it was freezing, folks! But did that dampen anyone's spirits? Not for a second. We decided to brave the cold for some stunning outdoor couple portraits while keeping the bridal party and additional pictures snugly indoors. Laughter became our best companion, thawing out any hint of discomfort and making every moment a memorable one.

As a photographer, my goal is always to capture raw emotions and genuine moments, and let me tell you, Lauren and Jack made my job a breeze. Their love was so palpable, so real, that it reflected in every frame I captured. From the stolen glances to the hearty laughs, every photo tells a story of love, laughter, and pure bliss.

And let's not forget about the editing process. I wanted their photos to be timeless, not trendy, so I incorporated recognizable film stock colors to give them a nostalgic feel. The result? A collection of images that not only captured the mood and atmosphere of the day but also transported you back to that magical moment.

But the real cherry on top? The feedback from Lauren herself. She described my work as magical and expressed how looking through her wedding album felt like reliving the entire day. Hearing her words was not only humbling but also incredibly rewarding. Knowing that I was able to capture moments that she can cherish for a lifetime – well, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

"Words truly cannot fully articulate the respect and admiration I have for Cassidy and her work. From day one, she used her expertise to help make my dream wedding photos become a reality. She took time to get to know us, understand how we wanted our wedding day to be captured, and even helped with details of wedding planning such as the timeline. She made us feel incredibly valued and comfortable so that she could capture our true selves. I was apprehensive about not having a videographer, but this quickly went away as soon as I saw Cassidy’s work. She didn’t just capture pictures, she captured moments that I can still feel when I look at the photos today. Looking through my wedding album feels like watching the entire day all over again because of the level of detail and intentionality Cass put into the photos. I go to buy more frames weekly because as I look at our gallery it’s difficult to choose just a few of my favorites. Cassidy and her work are magical and it was an immense blessing to have her as a wedding vendor."
