bryan and heather – wedding

bryan and heather have a one-year old son, leo, who surely added a ton of joy on their wedding day, but also tacked on some extra preparation and coordination. but leo’s reaction when he realized it was his daddy standing up on the platform as he fulfilled his role as ring bearer was a priceless one, and likely made up for any added stress that came with the day. leo undoubtedly gets his smile from his parents who hardly stopped beaming all day. and i think now, finally, that first kiss has finally ended…

khalid and rosa – wedding

khalid and rosa got an early jump on the final unofficial weekend of the summer with a wonderful friday wedding at lucien’s manor. rosa was the perfect mix of elegance and fun and you couldn’t keep a smile off of khalid all day. the day followed the script for the most part, but the choreographed dance by the entire wedding party was easily one of the most epic performances at a reception ever.

alec and dineen – rehoboth beach engagement

when you wake up at 315 in the morning to drive 2 hours for a sunrise engagement shoot, you risk not only being exhausted, but potentially letdown by mother nature. fortunately the sky put on a show as the sun rose over rehoboth beach and alec and dineen only added to the spectacular scene.

eric and katie – wedding

it was one of those days when a shower pretty much mandatory afterwards. eric and katie put on a bayside party at the deauville inn in strathmere, nj, and it was a fitting venue for low-key, up-for-anything group. between the hot august sun and the sand as the dance floor, no one left feeling clean and i don’t think anyone minded. secret service provided the music with a pretty wide range, and as the sun set, the fun was just beginning.

zach and courtney – john james audubon center wedding

courtney is one of four girls in her family, so if zach could handle getting the approval of three sisters, dealing with the 95-degree heat on their wedding day would be no sweat. the two found enough shade under the quaint orchard at john james audubon center and the day went off without a hitch. a perfect sunset led into a crowded dance party for the reception.
