If you’re planning a wedding at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, choosing a photographer who knows the property, lighting, and flow of a wedding day can make all the difference.


I’ve photographed weddings and families throughout Big Cedar Lodge for years, from quiet moments in the bridal suite to ceremonies at Integrity Hills, Garden Chapel and Top of the Rock. Knowing the property allows me to create a relaxed photography experience while making the most of the incredible Ozark scenery that makes Big Cedar so special.

One of the things that makes a Big Cedar Lodge wedding so special is the variety of beautiful ceremony and reception locations throughout the property. From intimate chapels surrounded by the Ozarks to sweeping views of Table Rock Lake, couples can create a wedding day that feels completely their own.


I’ve photographed weddings throughout Big Cedar Lodge and love helping couples make the most of the scenery, architecture, and beautiful natural light each location offers.

Integrity Hills Chapel & Stables



Integrity Hills is one of my favorite locations to photograph at Big Cedar Lodge. The chapel sits high above Table Rock Lake, creating an incredible setting for the ceremony and beautiful opportunities for portraits throughout the property.

After the ceremony, Integrity Hills Stables offers a warm, elegant reception space with stone details, soaring ceilings, and plenty of character. I especially love taking couples outside around sunset for a few quiet portraits overlooking the Ozarks before heading back into the celebration.

The Garden Chapel at Big Cedar Lodge


The Garden Chapel at Big Cedar Lodge is a beautiful choice for couples planning a smaller, more intimate ceremony. Tucked into the Ozark hillside, the charming white chapel feels romantic and peaceful, with large windows that bring in beautiful natural light.


I especially love the Garden Chapel for its simplicity and the beautiful outdoor portrait locations nearby. It’s a wonderful setting for couples who want their wedding day to feel intimate, timeless, and centered around the people they love most.

Chapel of the Ozarks at Top of the Rock


The Chapel of the Ozarks at Top of the Rock is one of the most breathtaking wedding locations in the Branson area. With incredible views of Table Rock Lake, beautiful stone architecture, and a dramatic chapel filled with natural light, it creates an unforgettable setting for a wedding day.


Top of the Rock is also one of my favorite places for wedding portraits. From the chapel and stone pathways to the sweeping Ozark views, there are so many beautiful locations within the property. I especially love planning time around sunset, when the light over Table Rock Lake can be absolutely incredible.
