The Love Story of Chad and Dom
January 2021 - October 2023
This is my brother Chad. He has been my best friend for my entire life. I have had the absolute pleasure of getting to know his now wife - Dominique - for the past 3 years. She makes my brother so happy, and I've been lucky enough to capture the 2 of them together over the years.
I took these portraits of this happy couple on an unusually warm day in January at Blue Marsh, just a few months after they started dating. A year and a half later, he proposed to her at the same spot.
When Chad called me that he proposed to Dom, I was ecstatic. All of the memories that we had made together, and the way that he talked about her, it only felt right. The couple enjoyed their engagement for a few months, then at the beginning of 2023 they went on a mission. They bought, renovated, and moved into a house, adopted a second kitten as well as a dog, AND planned their entire wedding!
Being apart of their journey has been so special and I'm so grateful I've gotten to witness this beautiful love story. All the surprises from the bridal shower, to the bachelor party was super fun to plan and be apart of.
Chad had originally asked me to photograph their special day, but I wanted to be able to fully be in the moment and enjoy it rather than multi-task. Normally, I would, but in this case with this once in a lifetime opportunity, I instead offered to them that I would find a candidate to photograph their wedding day.
I asked my good friend Debbie at Cross Photography if she would capture Chad and Dom's special day and boy did she pull through. Here you can check out the amazing job she did with their engagement photoshoot and over on her Instagram you can check out a sneak peak of how incredible their wedding photos are!
