Jonathan & Jacob | Lakeside Cottage Wedding

Jonathan and Jacob were wed this past weekend at a beautiful intimate gathering at Jonathan’s family cottage. Lakeside under the trees was the perfect summer setting for these two to say their vows and exchange rings. It was a relaxed and joyful celebration. Thankful they found me and grateful to celebrate pride month documenting this couple’s union. Here are a few favorite portraits and moments from their day!

This amazing decor is all DIY. It all was beautifully done!

Prior to getting ready, the couple planted a cherry tree together in the backyard. Such a sweet memento of their day and a wonderful way to honor their growing relationship.

They even made and decorated this amazing cake! I think they did outsource the adorable topper though. 🙂

First dance with fireworks. Yes please.

A magical end to a magical day. Congrats Jonathan and Jacob! It was an honor to be your photographer and I wish you both all the best together!
