Luke & Taylor — A Camelot Ranch Wedding Story

Where the Story Begins

Where do I even begin?

Luke isn’t just my cousin—he’s one of my closest friends and someone whose life I’ve been lucky enough to grow up alongside. From spontaneous adventures to a few questionable decisions we still laugh about, he has always been the kind of person who makes every moment memorable.

Hoping He’d Find His Person

So when it came to imagining the woman he’d spend his life with, I’ll admit—I held the bar high. I wanted him to find everything he deserved: a partner, a best friend, a fellow adventurer, and someone who would meet him heart-to-heart with honesty, loyalty, and joy.

And then he found Taylor.

Meeting Taylor for the First Time

When I first heard he had a girlfriend, I was cautiously optimistic. I hadn’t met her yet, but I trusted that when the right person came along, it would be obvious. And it was.

From the moment I finally met Taylor, I understood immediately. She wasn’t just a good match for Luke—she was his perfect match. I fell in love with them as a couple just as quickly as he did with her.

She is everything I hoped he’d be lucky enough to find.

There’s a part of me that misses seeing my best friend as often as I used to, but the bigger part of me is so grateful that Taylor is the reason why. The life they’re going to build together—full of adventures, laughter, challenges, triumphs, and a little bit of chaos (because, well… Luke)—is something I already admire. When two people fit this naturally, the rest tends to fall beautifully into place.

A Wish for Their Marriage

Luke and Taylor—congratulations.
Not just on getting married, but on choosing each other. On finding the one person who makes the ordinary feel meaningful and the hard days feel lighter. The one who knows your coffee order, your heart, your flaws, and your dreams—and shows up anyway, every single day.

The one you whisper “I love you” to as the last words each night, knowing you’ll wake up beside them in the morning.

I love you both more than words can say, and I hope these photos forever remind you of the beginning of a life you’ll never stop celebrating.
