The day began with Alex and Scott getting ready in separate suites at a nearby hotel, surrounded by close friends and family.

Efficient Portraits as Daylight Faded
As the ceremony concluded and daylight began to soften into evening, Maring stepped in to quickly and efficiently create group photographs and bridal party portraits. This balance knowing when to gently take control and when to step back is essential to preserving the flow of the day while still delivering polished, heirloom-quality images.
The result was a seamless transition from formal moments into celebration.
