Luxurious Wedding Day at The Ruth

From the moment I arrived, I knew this wedding was going to be unique. Their décor was luxurious and modern, leaning heavily into that old-money vibe. Think high-end luxury with a fresh twist. The details were insane. I took traditional flat lays, while also mixing in some creative film edits and flash photography for that extra edge. With a large bridal party and limited outdoor space, we got creative with the portraits. We utilized the unique features of The Ruth, particularly the bar. The photos turned out amazing and full of personality, just like the couple. Morgan and Nav were a dream to work with. Morgan was a natural in front of the camera, and Nav was just as comfortable. They were down for whatever it took to get the good shots. The best part? They trusted me, giving me free, creative direction and it truly paid off.

The post-ceremony portraits were lovely, but the ones that we took at the bar during the reception? Those were next level. These photos truly embodied Morgan and Nav as a couple – fun, vibrant, and madly in love. The reception was something else! I've never seen so many people dancing at a wedding in my life. This couple was so cool. They were proud of their heritage and excited to share their special day with their families. Despite it being a huge wedding, it still felt intimate because of the incredible attention to detail and intentionality put into planning and organizing.
