Some wedding days stay with you long after you pack up your camera and head home. Sentiah and Ethan’s wedding at Glass Chapel in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was one of those days.
From the moment I arrived, I remember having this little, giddy moment of looking around and thinking, “I made it.” As a wedding photographer, there is something so special about getting to photograph a wedding in a beautiful venue, surrounded by people who are celebrating a love story that means so much to them.
This wedding was everything I love about documenting a marriage: genuine emotion, meaningful moments, and a day that felt completely centered on the couple.
A Beautiful Wedding at Glass Chapel in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
Glass Chapel was the perfect setting for Sentiah and Ethan’s intimate wedding. The beautiful architecture and natural light created such a peaceful atmosphere for a day shared with their closest family members.
Sentiah had a wonderful balance of being organized and detail-oriented while still being relaxed and present. You could tell she had put thought into the day, but she also had the ability to enjoy it as it unfolded.
That balance made the entire wedding feel so intentional and personal.
The Moment He Saw His Bride for the First Time
One of the most emotional moments of the day happened when Ethan saw Sentiah walking toward him for the first time.
As she entered the chapel, he was overcome with emotion. Watching a groom tear up as he sees his bride is always such a powerful reminder of what a wedding day is really about.
It wasn't about the details or the timeline. It was about two people standing at the beginning of their marriage, surrounded by the people who love them most.
And this moment was just the beginning of the emotion that would fill the ceremony.
A Ceremony Filled With Emotion, Laughter, and Meaningful Vows
The ceremony was one of the sweetest parts of the day.
As Sentiah and Ethan read their vows, there was so much emotion in the room. There were giggles, smiles, and tears from the people sitting in the audience. You could feel how much love surrounded these two.
At one point, I found myself tearing up behind my camera.
As a photographer, I work hard to remain calm and present so that my couples can focus on each other. But every once in a while, a moment hits you in a way that reminds you just how meaningful this work is.
This was one of those moments.
A Beautiful Version of “Come Thou Fount”
As everyone walked in, a beautiful version of Come Thou Fount filled the chapel.
It was such a meaningful way to begin the ceremony. The music, the setting, and the people gathered together created an atmosphere that felt peaceful and deeply personal.
With only family in attendance, every person in the room had a special connection to Sentiah and Ethan. There was something so sweet about witnessing a marriage surrounded by the people who had been part of their lives long before this day.
A First Dance to “Annie’s Song” by John Denver
One of my favorite personal touches was their first dance to Annie’s Song by John Denver.
The song was such a beautiful choice for the two of them. It felt romantic, timeless, and perfectly suited to the intimate atmosphere of the day.
After the emotion of the ceremony, watching them share this moment together was such a sweet way to celebrate the beginning of their marriage.
The Little Details That Made the Day Special
From the thoughtful reception details to the beautiful ceremony setting, every part of the day felt intentional.
But what stood out to me most wasn't just how beautiful everything looked. It was how the details came together to create a day that felt like Sentiah and Ethan.
Their wedding was a reminder that a meaningful celebration doesn't have to be large to be unforgettable.
Why I Loved Photographing Sentiah and Ethan’s Wedding

From the moment I arrived at Glass Chapel and had that little “I made it” moment to watching Ethan tear up as Sentiah walked down the aisle, I felt so grateful to be there.
The laughter during their vows, the tears from their family, the music, and their first dance all made this wedding feel incredibly special.
It was intimate, heartfelt, and full of the kind of moments that make wedding photography so meaningful.
