I had an amazing time shooting Carissa and Jack’s wedding at Bolingbroke Mansion! Carissa had so many beautiful details. I was totally obsessed with her bouquet. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day and location. Congratulations Carissa and Jack, thank you for having us be a part of your day! Check out Carissa and Jack’s engagement session here.
