I am still coming down from the high of this wedding as a first time Kilbuck Creek wedding photographer, I loved all the beautiful colors and textures of the outdoors, that woodland ceremony space, and Ethan and Alexis made it their own with a day full of love and so much dancing. I don’t think I saw them sit down once.
Getting Ready at Kilbuck Creek
The day started quiet, Alexis’s dress hanging in dappled light before the whirlwind began. Then that first look moment where Ethan lifted her right off her feet, laughing.
The ceremony itself was pure magic, greenery draped over a woodland gazebo, sunlight breaking through the trees as they exchanged vows in front of the people who love them most.



Ethan’s groomsmen were an absolute riot all day (that pile-on photo says it all), and Alexis’s bridal party brought so much warmth including a very good dog who crashed the post-ceremony portraits and honestly made them better.
By the time champagne toasts rolled around, this whole group felt like one big family because at this point, they basically are.
Full gallery coming soon. Congratulations, Ethan and Alexis, thank you for letting me tell your story. 🤍
Looking forward to many other weddings at this beautiful venue to once again be a Kilbuck Creek wedding photographer
