When designing this Enneagram styled shoot series, my goal wasn’t simply to assign colors or décor to personality types. I wanted to explore something much deeper — how the core motivations of each type might shape the feeling of a wedding day. For this shoot inspired by Enneagram Type 6, the guiding themes were loyalty, groundedness, and connection to community.

This summer I had the joy of designing and curating an editorial content day at the breathtaking Cairnwood Estate, a venue that feels like it was made for timeless wedding inspiration. With its ornate architecture, soft historic charm, and rooms full of delicate details, it became the perfect canvas for a vision centered around elegant greens, classic textures, and vintage-inspired design.

But the heart of this editorial actually started somewhere unexpected! I first met Ashley and Mark while photographing another wedding (they were guests attending). Something about their energy immediately stood out to me. They had this effortless warmth together, and I remember thinking how beautifully they would photograph. So, trying not to sound totally creeper-ish, I asked if they had ever modeled or if they might be willing to step in front of my camera sometime.

As luck would have it, they said yes!

Kimberleigh + Ben’s intimate micro-wedding in Ocean City, New Jersey was the kind of day that reminds you what it’s all about. No grand ballroom. No elaborate timeline. Just the ocean, their closest family, and a focus on their marriage.

Kenny + Megan’s marriage began on a beautiful and sunny August day at the lovely John James Audubon Center, which was my first time there - and I loved it and hope to be back again soon! There were so many hidden gems around the property and I loved the old stone estate building, too. Love getting to explore new places!
