Jenna + Cole’s Wedding
October 9, 2026
Molly’s Lakeside, Shelby, North Carolina
Some weddings just wrap you up in warm energy from day one. Working alongside Jenna and Cole to bring their dreamy, fun vision to life was an absolute joy—especially because their main priority was celebrating the people they love most.
The morning was deliberately slow and intentional. Jenna shared sweet first looks with her bridesmaids, dad, and brother, while her Maid of Honor brought the best energy and excitement to every single moment. Taking our time early on meant plenty of space for candid, gorgeous photos without any rush.
Personal touches made the ceremony so special, starting with Jenna’s mom as the officiant. Right after saying “I do,” Jenna and Cole went straight into big, teary hugs with their guests—some of my favorite candid shots of the entire day!
At the reception, after the parent dances, they pulled off a sweet surprise dance with their grandparents that had the whole room smiling. After that? Pure party mode. From heartfelt connections to a packed dance floor, Jenna and Cole’s day was the perfect mix of meaningful and wildly fun.
