Makenna Lynn Photography
Grace and Zach’s wedding day at The Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion was the kind of celebration that reminds you what weddings are really about- family, connection, and choosing each other with intention.
With loved ones traveling in from all over the world, their day felt incredibly intimate and meaningful. Set inside the glass-walled Garden Pavilion and surrounded by lush greenery, the space was filled with so much love, laughter, and thoughtful details that reflected who Grace and Zach are both individually and as a couple.



One of the most special parts of Grace and Zach’s wedding day was how deeply family-oriented it was. Guests traveled from near and far, truly from all over the world, to celebrate with them. This made the day feel even more intentional and personal.
They also incorporated meaningful Estonian traditions throughout the day, adding a beautiful cultural layer that made their celebration feel uniquely theirs. Every moment felt thoughtful, warm, and centered around togetherness.





The Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion was the perfect backdrop for their August wedding. The all-glass pavilion allowed natural light to pour in, creating a bright and romantic atmosphere while still feeling intimate and cozy. Surrounded by The Ritz Charles beautifully maintained grounds and greenery, the venue felt like a garden oasis, timeless, elegant, and effortlessly romantic.



From a photography perspecitve, this day was a dream. Between the soft natural light, the emotional moments shared between family members, and the genuine connection Grace and Zach share, every part of the day felt authentic and meaningful.
I love photographing weddings that prioritize connection over perfection, days where couples feel free to be themselves and fully present. Grace and Zach’s wedding was exactly that.
