Nancy and Jim | Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery Wedding

MAGICAL is the one word we would use to describe Nancy and Jim’s special day!  Their wedding day was truly magical from start to finish!!  From our elegant couple, to the vibrant Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery grounds,  combined with the breathtaking florals, this wedding is one for the books!  There are so many amazing details, from the bride’s stunning dress to the most intimate reception EVER (Wait until you see the pics!), perfectly complemented with gorgeous florals for miles and miles!   To top the day off, the guests enjoyed yummy desserts, much laughter, and lots of dancing in the candlelit Barrel Room to end the day.  (All coordinated superbly by Paloma of Rosetree Events!!)  How magical is that?

THANK YOU, Nancy and Jim, for choosing Malwitz Photography to be a part of your wedding day!  We are blessed and honored to have been a part of this wonderful time in your lives!

Picture perfect!
