It was Friday, August 5th.. a day most highly anticipated. I arrived at the venue and immediately stepping out my car, I was in awe of what my eyes were seeing. The clouds covered the sun and the humidity was mild and when those two are put together, you deserve to do a happy dance! The lawn was beautifully manicured and set up with tables, ready to host happy wedding guests.
Their wedding day was like nothing I’ve ever photographed before in a way that they surprised each other THREE times and I had an ultimate BLAST photographing and being a part of them all!!! J I LOVE when clients do totally unique things at their wedding and truly make it special to them!!
Besides shooting at a new venue (yesss!), or the amazing details that went into the wedding, or the guests at the wedding.. I loved that Ben + Abby’s day was so personalized and really focused on their love and relationship.
They ended the reception with lots of dancing and a dreamy sparkler exit when Abby said my thoughts exactly, “Awww I don’t want this to end!!!”. Their wedding day may have ended but their marriage was just getting started!! :)
Ben + Abby, there are no correct words that I could use to truly express my gratitude for you two, for your trust, and for choosing me to capture your absolutely perfect wedding day! Your love and relationship is such a blessing to witness and your friendship is the cherry on top! Thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.. I couldn’t imagine spending August 5th with anyone else! :)

What a super fun idea!! Ladies from Courtyard Cafe came and served Iced coffees during Hors D’oeuvres, and they even had the Bride/Groom specialty drinks!
Surprise #2 – It started out as a Father/Daughter dance but then they broke out in a synchronized dance!!! It was SO good! I’ve NEVER got to photograph something like this.. so I was in for a treat!!!
Surprise #3 – Ben’s Family sang to Ben + Abby, but!…..
