Emma & James' Garden Wedding at Sunset Hills

A Love Story in Bloom

Emma and James chose the perfect venue for their spring wedding—Sunset Hills Garden, with its lush greenery, blooming roses, and stunning natural light. Their vision was an intimate celebration surrounded by close friends and family, with a romantic, timeless feel.

The Day’s Timeline

Getting Ready

The morning started with the bridesmaids getting ready in the garden’s bridal suite. Natural light poured through the windows, creating perfect conditions for those candid moments of laughter, tears, and anticipation.

First Look

Emma and James chose to do a private first look in the garden’s rose arbor. The emotion on James’ face when he turned around was absolutely priceless—these are moments that make wedding photography so rewarding.

The Ceremony

• Outdoor ceremony under a floral arch with 80 guests
• Perfect golden hour lighting filtering through the trees
• Intimate vows that had everyone reaching for tissues
• Natural, candid moments of joy and celebration
• Beautiful backdrop of spring blooms and greenery

Golden Hour Portraits

After the ceremony, we took advantage of the incredible golden hour light for couples portraits throughout the gardens. The setting sun created that magical warm glow every photographer dreams of.

Reception Highlights

The reception featured:

• Romantic candlelit tables with garden-inspired florals
• Heartfelt toasts from family and friends
• First dance under bistro lights
• Sparkler exit to end the perfect evening

Favorite Moments

Some of my favorite shots from the day came during the unscripted moments—Emma’s dad seeing her in her dress for the first time, the flower girl’s impromptu dance during cocktail hour, and the couple stealing a quiet moment together during the reception.
