Amazing, beautiful, heartfelt and full of so much emotion.   What set this wedding a part for me was the first look…walking over with Chris he said, “I don’t think I can keep it together…I’m going to lose it when I see her.”  And his eyes lit up when he saw her…shed a few tears and just looked at her…hugged her…and what he said to her I don’t know but she tipped back her head and laughed.  That is what I love about first looks…its a quite moment…a rare thing in a wedding day…at least from my experience.  You get to focus on each other.  And its oh so beautiful to photograph.  That day was spent with a couple so gracious and relaxed.  The day where they laughed with their best friends, hugged on their family and looked at each other and just knew it was forever.

The details, oh the details were stunning and set the tone for a gorgeous day.   The Cielo with its stunning vaulted ceilings and gorgeous window light made for a beautiful place to photograph.  The ceremony was moved inside after the flood gates decided to let lose and rain…pour if you will.  Fortunately we had done all of the bridal portraits before.  During the ceremony they opened up these large glass doors and they were able to get married with the sound of rain…simply beautiful to me.

Jen, with kreatid photography and design, shot this beautiful wedding with me…as she often does shoot weddings with me.  And I can not thank you enough…you are creative and so fun to work with.  Looking forward to many more weddings with you this summer.  LOVE you (she also happens to be my sister so I get to say that)

Congrats again to Amanda and Chris.  You are both stunning and unbelievably kind and gracious.  It was an honor to be part of your beautiful day.  Wishing you both many blessings on your marriage.
