The view was pretty spectacular. That’s a given.
The bride was absolute beauty. With amazing heels I am still drooling over. Along with her makeup and hair taken care of by the ladies at The Makeup Dolls.
Add in the groom, Josh,  along with their family and friends, and you have a party. Let’s than add into the mix amazing DJ work by Storm Productions, who made sure everyone made their way to the bar for many shots, and than you get a pretty wild party.  The best receptions are when everyone is rocking out on the dance floor, so I can jump right in there too and get some fantastic and sometimes awkward shots.

I must have done something really amazing to deserve to have this job. I get to tell stories through my photographs, and have those photos be such an important part of someone’s life forever.

From the second I received Marisa and Anthony’s beautiful handmade Save the Date’s in the mail shortly after they booked me as their wedding photographer, I knew that this would  be one of those weddings I would always remember. I thought I was going to love it for all the details. For the beautiful location. For the gorgeous couple. It turned out to be so much more than that.

This wedding truly filled me with happiness to photograph it. It fills me with happiness to process the photos. I get to relive it by sharing it here now.   From the flower girls that played limbo in their sweet little dresses, to the special kids table at the reception decorated by Marisa (being a kindergarten teacher, she was an expert on what would make kids have fun),  to the beautiful song sung by Anthony and Marisa’s friend who performed the ceremony. So many sweet handmade details that I could fill a whole blog with. The handmade candy and cupcake cupboards.  This wedding was a labor of love from all the family in celebration of Anthony and Marisa.

Thank you so much to Anthony and Marisa for trusting me with such an occasion. Events like this remind me how much I love what I do. You are so beautiful, inside and out.

As always, thanks to my brother, Matt, for rockin this out with me. And a special thanks to Eunice for assisting and being a trooper.
