There’s something truly magical about a wedding surrounded by the beauty of the Ozarks—and Dana and Grant’s day at Dogwood Canyon felt like it belonged in a storybook.

Before the ceremony, we made our way to Spirit Falls for their first look. With water pouring from the cliffs above and mist hanging in the air, the scene was dramatic and emotional. Dana looked radiant in her boho lace gown, paired with metallic green heels that peeked out with every step—a bold, beautiful pop of personality. Grant wore a forest green tweed suit with fun, colorful socks and finished the look with classic Converse sneakers, keeping things both dapper and laid-back. Their smiles said everything.

Afterward, we wandered down to the Glory Hole, one of the canyon’s most unique hidden gems. The towering stone walls and flowing water offered the perfect backdrop for quiet portraits, full of joy and connection.

Their ceremony took place on a stone patio overlooking a waterfall and a small dam, with vibrant blue-green water glistening below. It was breathtaking. Their children stood beside them as they exchanged vows, making the moment even more meaningful—a true blending of lives and hearts, witnessed by the ones who matter most.

Nature seemed to celebrate alongside them—deer, birds, and other wildlife made gentle appearances throughout the day, adding to the peaceful, enchanted atmosphere.

Every moment felt intentional and full of heart. From misty first looks to laughter-filled portraits and heartfelt vows in the canyon, Dana and Grant’s wedding was a dream to photograph. The intimacy, the scenery, the emotion—it all came together in the most unforgettable way.
