Some weddings unfold with a kind of ease that’s hard to explain. Not effortless, exactly—but deeply considered. Like every part of the day has been filtered through a lens of meaning.
Taylor and Chris’s wedding was one of those. A blend of modern elegance and emotional honesty, wrapped in the timeless architecture of Knox College and the sleek skyline views of Hotel X.
Every moment mattered. And it showed.

Ceremony at Knox College
The chapel at Knox College holds a kind of stillness that invites reverence. Guests settled in as the music began—violin, guitar, soft vocals filling the vaulted space.Taylor walked the aisle in that stillness, and everything else seemed to blur. Their vows were rooted and simple.
The kind that don’t try to say everything. Just the right things.
After the ceremony, tucked into the quiet of the Knox courtyard, they sat across from each other and read letters they'd written earlier that morning. No cameras pushed close. No audience. Just paper, pen, and the weight of their own words. It was one of those scenes where time slows—and for a moment, the world is only two people and the promises they’re still learning how to say out loud.

Reception at Hotel X
At Hotel X, the mood shifted into something softer—warm lighting, the clink of glasses, conversation rising gently under the vaulted ceilings of New Fort Hall.
As guests arrived for cocktail hour, Taylor and Chris slipped away for a quiet room reveal. No grand fanfare, just the two of them walking into the space they’d curated. It wasn’t dramatic—it was grounding. A shared breath before the rhythm picked up again.
Dinner followed, unhurried and full of intention. Salad first. Then short rib, branzino, and conversations that spilled between courses. The speeches came one by one—parents, siblings, close friends. Each voice layering a new texture onto the day.
And then came the dances. Landslide wrapped the parent dances into something quiet and graceful. Later, Something About the Way You Look Tonight played as Taylor and Chris held each other on the floor. It wasn’t performative. It was personal.

Nightfall and the Dance Floor
The rest of the night felt like exhale. Taylor changed into something lighter. Guests drifted to the photo booth, back to the floor, into late night snacks.
The celebration never felt forced. Just a natural progression of two people choosing joy over and over again.


A Day Worth Remembering
Taylor and Chris planned a wedding that felt honest. Beautiful, yes—but also lived in. And that’s what we love most.
