Connor and Amanda envisioned a wedding that was as fun and relaxed as they are—and their celebration at the Lussier Family Heritage Center was precisely that. Nestled in a secluded retreat with sprawling gardens, a rustic barn (perfect for photos!), and wooded trails, this venue offered endless natural beauty for their big day.

Family and friends helped infuse the space with personal, eclectic charm. The bride’s flowing, flower-adorned dress was stunning, and her handmade touches—like the delicate floral nets draped behind her—added a whimsical, bohemian feel.

A Private First Look & Sunlit Outdoor Ceremony

Before walking down the aisle, the couple shared a quiet first look in a secluded spot—just the two of them (and my camera, of course!). Their outdoor ceremony was heartfelt and joyful, setting the tone for the rest of the day.

Cocktails, Tacos, and Temporary Tattoos!

True to their playful vibe, Conner and Amanda didn’t want to miss a moment of mingling, so I worked in breaks during portraits to let them join their guests for the outdoor cocktail hour. And this wasn’t your average cocktail hour—they brought in a taco trailer, a Mediterranean food truck to keep everyone fed, a floating drink tap, and even a temporary tattoo bar! (Guests were encouraged to snap pics and share the fun.)

A Cozy Indoor Reception Full of Love

The celebration moved indoors for the reception, where long tables and eclectic centerpieces created a welcoming atmosphere. The couple kept things easygoing and full of laughter, making sure their guests—especially the little ones—had a blast.

This wedding was an absolute joy to photograph. It blended natural beauty, heartfelt moments, and just the right amount of quirky fun. Want a wedding that’s as unique as your love story? Let’s create something unforgettable together—taco trucks, tattoo bars, and all! 📸💕
