White Church Wedding with a Lakeside Celebration

Some weddings are extra special, and Sophie and Dylan’s wedding might just be one of our favorites of the year. We first met these two last fall when we had the joy of photographing Dylan’s proposal, and getting to come alongside them again to capture their wedding day was such a gift.

Their wedding weekend was especially meaningful to us, as it fell on our own 17th wedding anniversary. As a tall redhead and a blonde, we couldn’t help but smile at a few similarities between our two couples! While Sophie and Dylan have a beautiful story all their own, there was something extra special about celebrating their beginning while reflecting on 17 years of marriage ourselves. It felt a little full circle.

One of the things that stood out most throughout their day was their love for the Lord. It was so tangible in the way they loved one another and the way they approached marriage. Their ceremony inside the beautiful white sanctuary at McCall Community Church was especially meaningful. One of our favorite moments was watching them take communion together as a friend sang “Goodness of God.” Their wedding party also gathered around them in prayer during this time, creating such a sweet and beautiful moment of worship as they began their marriage. And, of course, we can’t forget the moment just before their first kiss when Dylan’s best man made sure he was ready with a little breath spray! It was such a fun, sweet touch that brought a little laughter into an already beautiful ceremony.

Sophie was truly one of the most beautiful brides we’ve ever photographed, inside and out, and Dylan was every bit the handsome groom. It was also so evident just how deeply these two are loved. Everywhere we turned, there were friends and family who were absolutely overjoyed to celebrate them. Their wedding was filled with so much warmth, laughter, and genuine affection.

We loved spending time with their bridal party and family out at Ponderosa State Park before the wedding, taking advantage of the beautiful McCall scenery for portraits. From there, the day continued with a beautiful celebration at Shore Lodge.

And the florals! Shannon with McCall Weddings did an absolutely incredible job. Every detail was stunning, and the florals were such a beautiful addition to an already unforgettable day.

Sophie and Dylan, what a joy it has been to be part of your story, from the proposal to the wedding day. We are so grateful you invited us to capture these memories, and we pray that the Lord continues to be at the very center of your marriage for all the years to come. What a beautiful beginning!
