City Hall Wedding Pre-Session with the Nessons and their Puppy

Capturing the excitement of a couple on the brink of their wedding day is always a rewarding experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a pre-wedding session for this lovely couple at right before their scheduled City Hall wedding.
While I didn’t shoot the wedding itself, this one-hour experience focused on their joy and anticipation, featuring both them and their adorable puppy who was part of the celebration. We explored various outdoor locations around City Hall, creating a blend of intimate portraits and candid moments that highlighted their connection. As the session wrapped up, we included some family photos with the few guests attending their wedding.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
