A couple dressed in wedding attire stands outdoors in front of trees, holding a bouquet of flowers. The woman has dark curly hair, a veil, and a white dress, smiling at the camera. The man has long, wavy hair, glasses, a white shirt, and brown pants, looking down. A black dog with a floral bow around its neck is in front of them, looking up.

“Shade has a vision for photography that’s hard to come by. He understands how the camera reflects how we see ourselves and works hard to show the best and brightest versions of us all.”
