Sova Gardens wedding - Nicole and Mark

Nicole and Mark - October 19, 2024

As soon as I met these two, I felt like we were friends. Like, I could hang out with them and have the best time. That’s how their wedding felt. Easy, comfortable, fun.

Sova Gardens was super fun for me to shoot at. This was my second wedding there and it, once again, did not disappoint. It’s small, cute and easy for guests. A great venue!

Nicole decided to do a first look with her dad and brother, and her nephew joined in as well. It was the sweetest thing and their reactions were priceless. For the ceremony, the flower girl and ring bearer got to use bubble guns and I’ve never seen that before. It was so so cute and made for some fun photos with the kids. We snuck Nicole and Mark out for sunset photos (a must on your wedding day if you ask me) and we got some incredible lighting. There’s a field on the property that works out so well for sunset photos. You may not think that when you look at it, but trust me, the photographer in me loved it. Best of all, it’s super close and doesn’t take long so you don’t need a ton of time away from your guests. They dance the night away and had so much fun. I was sad that I missed the in n out delivery which happened after I left, but that’s ok LOL.

Enjoy the photos! XOXO
