Ilia & Justin’s Wedding at Venue 1902, Sanford, Florida

Ilia & Justin’s wedding at Venue 1902 in Sanford was one of those days that meant so much more to me than simply photographing a beautiful wedding. I first met their family when I photographed Ilia’s Sweet 16, and over the years, they’ve continued to invite me back to capture so many meaningful milestones—from other family birthdays to business portraits—which has made our connection incredibly special. Their family is genuinely one of the sweetest families I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and I truly love creating art for them. Being there to photograph Ilia’s wedding felt like such a full-circle moment, watching someone whose story I’ve documented for years step into such an important new chapter. The entire day was filled with so much love, warmth, and joyful energy, making every moment a dream to capture at the beautiful historic Venue 1902. As a small gift to them, I also created their ceremony video so they can relive that moment forever, which you can find in my portfolio. Moments like these are exactly why I love what I do—not just taking beautiful photos, but preserving stories, relationships, and milestones that matter for years to come.
