Sierra + Tim: From Downtown Engagement Session to Fall Wedding Day

Sierra and Tim’s engagement session with Kirsten Wray Photography felt easy — like a date night that just happened to be beautifully documented. Walking hand in hand through the city, they laughed, talked, and settled into each moment together, and that comfort shows in every photo.

From the historic interior to a walk along the canal, Sierra and Tim moved effortlessly from elegant to playful. Sierra’s ivory dress and Tim’s classic suit kept the look timeless, while outside, the mood softened into quiet smiles, stolen kisses, and the kind of natural connection that can’t be staged.

Kirsten has a gift for capturing couples exactly as they are, and Sierra and Tim’s session feels warm, genuine, and full of excitement for what’s ahead.

That same ease carried into their wedding day. Surrounded by vibrant fall foliage in shades of golden yellow and amber, Sierra and Tim’s autumn celebration was intimate.

 

Sierra’s morning started with the team at Black Swan Beauty, who created a look that was polished but still felt like her. Soft, glowing skin, perfectly defined eyes, and romantic waves that looked effortless even though we know they weren’t. In her lace getting-ready robe, Sierra was all smiles, glass of bubbly in hand, soaking in those last quiet moments before everything officially began.

Her gown was a showstopper — a ballgown silhouette with an off-the-shoulder design, illusion lace sleeves adorned with 3D floral appliqués, and a dramatic cathedral-length veil that trailed behind her like a fairytale. She carried a classic white bouquet of roses and ranunculus tied with an elegant ribbon.

Tim looked sharp in classic black, while the bridal party also kept it timeless — bridesmaids in sleek black gowns and groomsmen in classic black suits.

 

The outdoor portraits against the autumn backdrop were breathtaking. The couple strolled hand-in-hand down a tree-lined path, Sierra’s veil flowing dramatically behind them. Whether walking side by side, sharing quiet glances, or standing together in a formal pose, every image captured the genuine connection Kirsten first documented during their engagement session.

Kirsten Wray Photography has a gift for capturing couples exactly as they are, and from engagement to wedding day, Sierra and Tim’s story feels warm, genuine, and full of the kind of love that’s meant to last.
