When Deanna and Linus first reached out asking if I could photograph their June celebration, something about their message immediately drew me in. They weren't looking for anything flashy—just someone who could capture the real moments of their day at Marnei Mare. And honestly, that's exactly what unfolded.

Their wedding felt refreshingly intimate. With just ten people there, every conversation mattered and every laugh was shared. Deanna looked radiant in her flowing floral dress, especially when the late afternoon light hit just right. Linus couldn't stop grinning—the kind of genuine happiness you can't fake for photos. They kept things beautifully simple with their ceremony right by the water. What made their day special wasn't grand gestures or elaborate details, but the way their closest friends were completely present for them.

Looking back through their photos, what strikes me most is how relaxed everyone was. No stress, no rushing around, just people genuinely celebrating two people they really care about. Deanna and Linus proved that the best weddings aren't about impressing anyone—they're about showing up fully for the person you're choosing to spend your life with. Their wedding was a beautiful reminder that the most meaningful celebrations come from the heart, not the headcount.
