If I accomplished anything with these wedding photos, I hope I accomplished capturing just how much fun Chante + Christian have together. The day, from start to finish, was filled with Chante’s throwing-her-head-back laughter. Everyone there had an ease with each other that made the day such a joy to shoot.

That said, I also hope that I accomplished capturing how cool and absolutely bananas the inside of the McHenry Mansion is. It’s a gem of a building right here in downtown Modesto and it’s filled with so many strange and wonderful relics of the past - please note of the porcelain doll collection - that I was unabashedly excited to get to explore it fully. It’s really perfect for a fall wedding. Both because of the outdoor location and the haunted Victorian mansion vibes.
