a wedding is about love, above all. this is said often, but can never be said enough! family, friends, venue, decor, food, cake, music, dancing, speeches, the dresses, the suits, the jewelry - these things are icing. this one was no exception, it had the whole package! all on a beautiful sunny August afternoon, and with a super cute doggie ringbearer! but for me the highlight of this day was the first look - after spending the morning preparing for this moment, as soon as Erin saw Matt, she relaxed so completely. this is what it is all about - the two of you. your love, and the promise you make to each other to never forget that. take a deep breath, and soak it all in.

what a gorgeous evening this was! Matt & Megan are lots of fun and chose the most beautiful locations for their photos. I am so happy to *finally* share their engagement session - this blog has been sadly neglected as usual! wrapping up the last few engagement sessions before wedding season begins. lots more to share soon, as always.

Joe and Jessica are such a great couple. they are big-hearted, adorable and so in love. it's been a pleasure getting to know them this year (check out their engagement session here). their wedding was so much fun! 

it was pouring rain right before i arrived but we were so lucky to have perfect weather for the rest of the night. this day was full of gorgeous DIY details - like the chalkboard signs, tree slices for ceremony and centerpieces, and the arbor they were married underneath. the s'mores favors were a perfect way to take a break from dancing and enjoy the beautiful views!

huge congratulations to Jessica and Joe and their families. i am so happy to be have been a part of your wedding!
