You might remember Morgan & Cassie from their engagement session, more especially their love story. It reads like a Hallmark movie. He was in the town’s annual Christmas parade, and in all the crowd, she stood out. A few months later, the sight of Cassie lingered in his mind, and he decided to reach out. A first date and three years later, Morgan proposed to Cassie in Paris.
Together, Morgan and Cassie planned an equally magical wedding day, which was so fitting to their love story! The wedding took place at Cora Lane Ranch, tucked behind rows of walnut trees, and nestled between two towering oaks. With a rural surrounding and a boho inspired design, the day couldn’t have been more gorgeous! From the handmade reception tables topped with jewel toned glass to the swing hanging from the oak tree at the ceremony location, and some of the most stunning florals with feathers and shades of pink. Add to that, the most epic first dance with a fireworks show and Flying Blind singing Coldplay’s Fix You…the day was unforgettable!
More than anything though, I think the thing that stood out to me most on this day though, was how Morgan and Cassie included their kids throughout their day. Having their girls open the doors for Cassie to walk down the aisle. Saying vows to each other and to their kids. Morgan’s son presenting the rings as the ‘showman’ of the ceremony. And then when they performed a song together at the reception for their mom and dad, which I’m pretty sure their wasn’t a dry eye in the house (including me!).
Morgan and Cassie, it was such an honor to witness the love you share for each other and your family! Thank you for the opportunity to document your wedding day – I am forever grateful! Thank you also to the incredible creative team led by the talented Natalie Galasso and to Diane Angel for helping me capture this day! Here are a few of my favorites…

Loveloveloved the details of this day!
Especially the mix and match bridesmaids dresses in shades of champagne and pink!
I mean, how sweet are the mini getting ready robes?!?
One of the sweetest moment when Holden first saw Cassie…
Pretty much, the prettiest group of bridesmaids EVA!
Cassie was a bride, but was always a mom to her girls first. Just adore these moments…
The bride’s “something borrowed” was this beautiful ring from her Grandma.
The bride’s sweet mom helping her with the final touches before seeing her groom! Isn’t her veil GORGEOUS?!?
Meanwhile, Morgan was prepping to see his bride…
And received some extra good luck from his son, Holden. I mean…Melt. My. Heart.
Morgan and Cassie shared a first look in the middle of the walnut orchard. The canopy of leaves made for a dreamy backdrop…
The groom was smitten with his beautiful bride…
After their first look, Morgan and Cassie read letters they had written to each other…
It was just the sweetest…
I can’t even deal…
Just adore these two together!
After some time with the bride and groom, I got to spend some time with Cassie’s amazing girl squad! Can we just talk about the gorgeousness here!?!
Such a fun group to work with!
The most gorgeous florals EVER created by Natalie Galasso…
Loved the guy’s blue suits on this day!
As guests arrived, they were welcomed by beautiful signage and libations at the ceremony location, all while an artist captured the day on canvas…
One of the sweetest moments, as the couple’s girls opened the doors for the bride’s processional…
Cassie’s dad was beyond proud to give his daughter away…
Love!
How gorgeous is this ceremony space?!?
The ceremony was filled with so much JOY!
Morgan’s son acted as the ‘showman’ of the ceremony, presenting the rings to be exchanged.
Officially Mr. and Mrs.!
Their smiles say it all!
Best. Bridal. Party. EVER!!!
Can we just take a moment to talk about this Made With Love gown?!? Just perfection!
Cassie, you made the most stunning bride!
After a few portraits with the bridal party, we captured sunset with the newly minted couple and the light was perfection…
One of my favorites!
Morgan and Cassie got decked out in fur for their cocktail entrance!
A cocktail lounge with hanging macrame and delicious bites were enjoyed by guests…
And then the bridal party made their entrance…and let’s just say, the party started!
Pink colored glass, florals, and soft candlelight greeted guests at the reception tables…
The evening continued with the sweetest toasts from family members…
…and friends!
These three stole the show as they sang for their mom and dad at the reception!
And if the night wasn’t sweet enough, the dessert table was chock-full of cupcakes and cookies, macarons and mini-pies, and a beautiful two-tiered cake fromMix Bakery!
Delicious bites for days…
With Flying Blind, the dance floor was packed with celebrating and lots of lots of DANCING!
I’ll end with this one because as the couple shared their first dance, a shower of fireworks glowed behind them and they lived happily ever after!
