I don’t know that there was a dry eye in the house as Carly & Dan took their vows.  As Dan tried to get through it, Carly nodded her head in agreement.  I stood in the back fogging up my camera viewfinder, trying to hold it together, not daring to look at their parents or Renata.  It was a beautiful day.

Carly & Dan got married at the beautiful old building where Dan’s father’s law offices reside.  The day was quaint and intimate and it was one of our favorite weddings to date!

Carly was gorgeous!

We took so many pictures of her around the building; I couldn’t decide which ones were my favorites, so I included a lot more than I usually do.

Dan & his guys were a lot of fun!

Before the ceremony started, Dan’s sister got my attention and pointed towards the ceremony site to get a shot of Dan and his father:

Carly stood closely to her mother moments before the ceremony:

And I loved that both her parents walked her down the aisle.

I’m telling ya, if you were there, you would’ve needed tissue, too!

The light was perfect down the street for portraits!

In my top 5 ever:

Sparkler ending:

Carly & Dan, we loved being invited to celebrate with you and your families!  Your day was beautiful!

There is just something about couples who have a long history.  It must be the stories, or maybe it’s the deep roots or the certain knowing of each other that makes the wedding day sweeter.  I’m not sure, but Mary Sarah & Brent were high school sweethearts and their wedding day was certainly sweet.

We arrived just as Mary Sarah was about to walk down the aisle, looking gorgeous!

That’s a good moment right there:

Mary Sarah worked it!

Mary Sarah & Brent specifically picked this spot for pictures – a location gem!

Being toasted…and maybe a little roasted.

Serious dance party:

Mary Sarah & Brent, we’re so glad we got to shoot your wedding and get a glimpse into your story!

Both with big families, bigger hearts and a whole lot to celebrate, Randa & Kareim spared no detail for their big day!  It was such a fun celebration – lots of people, lots of gorgeous details and lots of love.

A big thanks to Maria & Drew for sending them our way!  Maria was in this wedding, so she couldn’t shoot it, too.

Randa’s gorgeous wedding day get-up:

A gift from Maria – so cute!

Randa looked amazing!

Randa & Kareim opted to do First Glance, which we JUST LOVE!  First Glance allows the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony privately; we get great pictures and the day runs so smoothly!

Since they did First Glance, we had extra time to take more pictures around Kent Manor.

Love this: walking up the aisle with her dad, walking down the aisle with her husband…

Kent Manor was decked out beautifully!

Belly dancers.  No, for real!

Randa & Kareim, we had such a great time at your wedding!  Thanks for the fun!
