Maddie & Blake’s Reed House at Live Oaks wedding has been a long time coming!! They got engaged during the summer of 2024 in Italy & have been planning their big day ever since! It’s been a joy & honor to be their photographer during this season. Maddie & Blake are just the sweetest, most genuine couple, & it’s so evident that they were overjoyed that their day was here!!

I was so excited to see Maddie when we arrived at The Reed House on Saturday! She has been in several of her sweet friends’ weddings I’ve gotten to capture over the past few years, & now it was finally her turn to be the bride!! She looked absolutely stunning in her customized gown from Elle James Bridal. Every single detail of the day was beautiful, & I especially loved all of the colorful florals & pink accents – so fun!! As always Fresh Cut Catering & Floral / Galleries went above & beyond to make Maddie’s vision come to life!

I loved seeing how important family is to both Maddie and Blake. They both made sure to include all of their parents, grandparents, & siblings throughout the day. These two sure have a lot of people who love them!! I joked with Maddie & Blake that they had the most chairs I’ve ever seen for a ceremony at The Reed House. With around 400 guests, it’s clear that everyone who knows Maddie & Blake was so excited to celebrate their marriage!

My favorite part of Maddie & Blake’s wedding day was seeing just how happy they are together. The joy they showed during their first look is something I’ll never forget! As they read their personal vows to each other, I got a glimpse of how special their relationship is, & I believe wholeheartedly that God has incredible plans in store for their marriage & future family!

Maddie & Blake – you two mean so much to me! I will forever feel honored that I got to be your photographer during this season. I can’t wait to see how God uses your marriage for His glory for years & years to come!! Enjoy reliving your incredible wedding day through more than 200 of my favorite images!!
