Ben got ready at Banks Bed and Breakfast, a cozy hideaway just a short drive from The Distillery. The warm textures and natural light created the perfect setting for quiet, meaningful moments with his groomsmen. Meanwhile, Ericka spent her morning in the sunlit bridal suite at The Distillery, surrounded by her bridesmaids as they helped her step into her gown.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

These are the moments I love capturing most, the ones that unfold naturally and become some of the most treasured images of the day. Instead of doing a first look with her groom, Ericka saved that moment for the aisle. It added a beautiful sense of anticipation that carried through the early hours of the day.
