They met on a cruise. (Yes, really.) Two strangers in the middle of the ocean — and something just clicked. He’s a pilot. She grew up in the country. Different worlds, same spark. They laughed, they talked, and neither could stop thinking about the other. And two weeks ago, in the quiet beauty of Oglethorpe County, GA — with the glassy lake behind them, the open sky above, and all their favorite people gathered close — they promised each other forever.

From the moment I arrived at Ellie’s parents’ home, there was this sense of joyful anticipation. The day began with rainclouds and backup plans — but just as we started bracing ourselves, the skies cleared and made way for golden sunshine.

Their first look was sweet and full of emotion, but nothing compared to the way Jeremy lit up — and teared up — when he saw Ellie coming down the aisle. It was the kind of heartfelt moment you feel in your chest.

As the sun dipped low, Ellie had an epic dress change, and they danced into the night surrounded by laughter, love, and so much joy with their dear family and friends.

Ellie and Jeremy — what a gift it was to witness this day and your love story. I praise God for bringing you two together – your love just shines and is so special to see. May God richly bless your marriage all your days- thank you for choosing me to capture your special day!
