Chilly weather, twinkling lights, creamy classic florals, and a venue covered top to bottom in lush green goodness. The Arboretum makes the perfect wedding venue for those in search of reliable natural beauty. Liza & Max opted for after-dark portraits to keep their first look down the aisle, and they couldn’t have chosen a better venue to do so: full trees dressed in white Christmas lights lit our portrait time. We ended up with unique and still classic portraits that match their day so well.

Liza & Max are more than just a stunning couple, they are incredible friends and lights in their community. It didn’t take long to pick up all they meant to their people, and it takes even less time to understand why. They are gracious and so fun to be around. They know what they want, but they don’t let themselves feel overwhelmed by what doesn’t matter – a key part of having an amazing wedding day is knowing the priority is getting married, and I could see that peace in Liza & Max all day long. They are about the easiest people to work with I’ve ever met.

And the reception. What a party! Please scroll through to the end if you want to see every guest on their feet having the absolute time of their lives with the happy couple. This was such a fun night.

Liza & Max, thank you for letting me celebrate you in such a special way. I couldn’t be a bigger fan of the Gambles and it was a joy to document the beautiful, fun start of your marriage. Here’s to your forever!
