I honestly loved this day so much. From the moment I arrived, Katy and Charlie’s Orchard Ridge Farms wedding already felt like a party. Everyone was fully ready, dressed, and excited, so we jumped straight into separate wedding party photos and kept the energy fun and easy. These two wanted the vibe to be relaxed and celebratory, and that’s exactly how the whole day unfolded.

A Sweet Aisle First Look at Their Orchard Ridge Farms Wedding

Instead of a private first look, Katy and Charlie saved that moment for the aisle, and it was so sweet. You could feel the anticipation, and when Katy walked toward him, it was such an emotional, joy-filled moment.

Something I loved even more… Katy’s twin brother wasn’t able to be there in person, but he was FaceTimed in throughout the day. It meant so much to her, and seeing him pop up during moments big and small added this beautiful thread of family connection that carried through everything.

Keeping Things Laid Back and Enjoying Their Orchard Ridge Farms Wedding

The weather was HOT! We’re talking the kind of heat where you step outside and instantly rethink your life choices. Because of that (and because Katy and Charlie are super laid back), we kept the formal photos short and sweet. They wanted to spend their time actually enjoying the day with their favorite people, so that’s exactly what we focused on. Real moments. Laughter. Hugs. Happy chaos.

A Party-First Orchard Ridge Farms Reception

Their reception was all about celebration. So much dancing, so many happy faces, and the kind of vibe where you look around and think “yes, these are our people.” And then, at the very end of the night, they had the sweetest private last dance. Just the two of them, letting the whole day sink in.

After that, they hopped into a fancy car that Charlie got to borrow from work and drove off into the night like absolute movie stars. It was the perfect ending to their Orchard Ridge Farms wedding — joyful, relaxed, and beautifully them.
