christine & frank, wedding

With the most beautiful layered dress I’ve ever seen, the most captivating florals I’ve ever photographed and the sweetest most sincere relationship I’ve witnessed in a long while, I just want to carry this wedding around in my pocket. The details were so well thought out, their wedding party was sweet & pretty and we really felt like we were welcomed entirely. Besides, Christine has the warmest smile ever and Frank looks at her like she hung the moon.

It always makes me feel warm & cozy when a bride chooses to get ready in the home where she grew up. There are so many stories and memories that are a treasure to reveal. After we photographed her beautiful details and her finishing touches of getting ready, we drove to the most beautiful church with gorgeous light and a huge church bell (which C&F were very eager to ring. there may even be some photos of that below). They wed, laughed, then danced the night away. Oh yeah, on top of the incredible details I opened with, there was truthfully the best DJ I have E V E R had the pleasure of working alongside. She spunky, full of energy & was super adorable. Although being adorable doesn’t usually matter much, it sure made me smile. Her info is a the bottom of the post!
