christina and dane’s lodge at stirling ridge stone house wedding did not disappoint. i met up with christina and dane just about one year before their wedding to photograph their engagement session in my ‘hood. we had beautiful fall weather then and beautiful fall weather for their stone house wedding. they had a super chill vibe about their day which kept it very focused on their love. dane’s enthusiasm about marrying christina was heartwarming.
when it comes to ring shots, i’m a purist. if i can’t get the rings to balance or do what i want, i will not use any kind of sticky stuff or photoshop. it takes the magic out of it and makes the pic all the more better to me if i keep it pure.
