Country Charm & Twinkle Lights | Katie + Mark & Their Beautiful Estate Wedding

Some weddings just feel extra special, and Katie’s was one of them. Katie is not only one of my coworkers but a friend & also a fellow paramedic, and photographing her wedding was such an honour.

The day took place on her grandmother’s beautiful country estate, affectionately known as Gucci’s. From the moment I arrived, everything felt relaxed, joyful, and so full of love. Surrounded by close family, friends, and a few four-legged guests, the day couldn’t have been more perfectly “them.”

One of Katie’s biggest requests was to include her main man , and by that, I mean her mane man, her horse! Of course, I said yes. Watching her walk through the property with him, the connection they share was just incredible. We captured so many stunning portraits of the two of them together, a moment that felt straight out of a country dream.

The evening continued under a gorgeous star tent filled with twinkle lights, amazing food, laughter, and a packed dance floor. And of course, in true country style, Rip and John Dutton made an appearance. Well, their cardboard cutouts did! It was hilarious and so perfectly Katie and her crew.

The entire day was filled with love, laughter, and a little bit of that unplanned magic. Katie was expecting at the time, which made the celebration even more meaningful. Not quite a shotgun wedding, but it definitely fit the country theme in the best way possible.

Katie’s wedding was a reminder that the most beautiful days are the ones that are real. Full of love, laughter, and stories that make them uniquely yours.
