Luxury City Wedding: The Jordans
As I stepped into the vibrant heart of Tulsa, the afternoon sun cast a warm golden hue over the downtown skyline. The luxurious wedding I was about to capture felt like a film come to life, each scene unfolding in vivid colors and emotions. Noah and Alice were ready, glowing with a love that radiated warmth, filling the bustling streets with an air of intimacy that belied the city’s hustle and bustle.
Amidst the historical art deco buildings, towering above us like sentinels, we embarked on our adventure. The bridal party, all dressed in black, bringing an elegant and cool vibe, moved with an energy that was infectious. I positioned myself to capture candid moments, laughter, tenderness & everything in between. It was in these fleeting seconds that the essence of their love came out—Noah gently squeezing Alice's hand, the way her eyes sparkled when she caught his gaze. These small, intimate gestures told a story of their journey together, they have been together for 7 years you guys! They have built so much!
As we continued walking through the streets, I framed their silhouettes against the backdrop of iconic Tulsa landmarks, some shots are digital, some have a timeless film vibe that I cant get enough of lately. Each shot a canvas painted with happy smiles and sweet moments. The challenges of light and shadow were present, but they felt more like an invitation to be creative. . We played with angles, capturing reflections in the glass of the nearby buildings, creating an ethereal quality that mirrored their love—deep, multifaceted, and unique.
After the outdoor activities, we transitioned to Camp Loughridge for a more intimate ceremony, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The atmosphere was charged with emotion. In this quiet setting, as they exchanged rings and promises, I felt a responsibility to narrate their love story authentically. It was a moment steeped in romance, where time seemed to stand still, and I clicked away, capturing the tears and laughter that intermingled beautifully amidst the serenity.
With the vows exchanged and the couple now husband and wife, we made our way over to Clare Michael. Nestled in the quirky heart of Kendall Whittier, this venue hummed with the vibrant spirit of the city. The eclectic decor reflected the couple’s joyful personalities, and as the night unfolded, the energy grew palpable. The dance floor became a whirlwind of movement, laughter, and celebration. Noah spun Alice around, their joy contagious, and I found myself caught up in the moment, clicking away as they danced with their guests.
Each frame told a part of their story—their laughter, stolen glances, and the warmth of their friends and family. I felt honored to be part of this tapestry of love, and as the night deepened, I stole moments for myself, absorbing the joy that surrounded me. Sometimes I cant believe I do this for a living, a true pinch-me moment.
As the celebration wound down and the last songs of the night echoed into the Tulsa streets, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Noah and Alice had invited me not just to witness their day, but to immerse myself in their love story—a tale told through photographs infused with love, laughter, and cherished memories. It wasn’t just about capturing moments; it was about weaving together the narrative of their lives, a privilege I feel deeply grateful for.
