THE WHITE CHATEAU WEDDING | GEORGIE AND ZACK

July 29, 2022

Documentary Wedding Photography at The White Chateau | Owensboro, KY

These two law students met at UK, fell in love, and decided get married. The inspiration for their wedding day was simple: a huge party with all of their friends. I’m a huge proponent of befriending your inner child, and Georgie & Zack’s wedding was truly a demonstration in doing that. Water gun grand exit? Bounce house with colorful balloons? I mean it just doesn’t get more fun then that!

Their entire day was an intentional balance of sacred & fun. From their sweet ceremony (where they accidentally took too much communion bread and ended up chipmunk-stuffing it in their mouths — the crowd went wilddd lol), to giving every guest a water gun to spray them as they made their grand exit from their reception, you couldn’t imagine a more “Georgie & Zack” day.

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
