is one of those places that instantly feels inviting. Its open spaces, beautiful grounds, and rustic barn create the perfect backdrop for a wedding. When Julia and Ben asked me to photograph their day here, I knew it was going to be a special one.
We started the day with a private first look. Away from the crowd, Julia and Ben saw each other for the first time, sharing a quiet moment before the day kicked into full gear. It was simple and real—just the two of them, enjoying a pause before the celebration began. This set the tone for the rest of the day, which stayed relaxed and focused on what truly mattered.
Julia and Ben wanted to keep family photos straightforward, so we quickly gathered everyone for portraits right after the first look. We didn’t spend too much time posing—just enough to capture everyone together without taking away from the rest of the day.
The ceremony took place outdoors under the clear sky. Instead of a traditional script, Julia and Ben wrote their own vows. Their words reflected who they are as individuals and as a couple, making the ceremony personal and meaningful for everyone there.
One detail that stood out was their choice to skip the traditional wedding cake. Instead, they set up a donut table, which guests loved. It was a simple but fun addition that made the reception feel even more laid-back.
As the sun began to set, we moved to the barn for some final photos. The natural light and rustic setting made it a great spot to wrap up the day. Julia and Ben’s calm energy in these moments really came through in the photos, capturing the end of a day that was focused on simplicity and enjoyment.
Julia and Ben’s wedding at Roseville Estate was a perfect reflection of them—low-key, thoughtful, and centered around the people who mean the most to them. It was a pleasure to be a part of their day.
