Derek and Kevin’s wedding at The Mount was a celebration more than a decade in the making. Every element was carefully considered and beautifully executed, creating a day that felt both timeless and deeply personal. It was fun, classy,  intimate and the perfect reflection of their love story.

Their favorite moment came during the ceremony, standing together in the garden as they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends. The setting was extraordinary, framed by lush flowers and accompanied by the sounds of live violin and guitar. It was romantic, heartfelt, and the perfect beginning to the evening.

The reception design was classic with a modern edge. White and green florals accented with gold paired seamlessly with ivory linens and black chairs. A bold black and white dance floor anchored the space, while black crystal chandeliers and a glittering disco ball transformed the room into an elegant celebration. As night fell, the forecourt and the exterior of the house glowed with rainbow lights, adding a playful and unforgettable touch. Guests enjoyed thoughtful details such as rainbow fans, a lively photo booth, and cocktails named for Derek and Kevin’s three beloved dogs.

For couples planning their own wedding, Derek and Kevin suggest enjoying every moment. They found that taking portraits before the ceremony allowed them to spend cocktail hour greeting their guests, something they both valued. They also shared a reminder that has stayed with them: perfection is not the goal. What matters is knowing you are marrying the person who is your home. With that perspective, everything falls into place.

Working with Derek and Kevin was such a joy for me. Even though they admitted they are not big fans of being in front of the camera, I loved being able to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Photographing their engagement and wedding sessions was not only fun but so rewarding. I even managed to capture the personalities of their three energetic dogs with my signature squeak. From family portraits to candid moments on the dance floor, I felt honored to preserve their day in a way that felt elevated and authentic.

Congratulations Derek and Kevin, we loved being there to celebrate you.
