Sarah & Mike Part 1 :)

Ok . . . for starters we arrived at our amazing venue, and immediately felt as though we had arrived at a Tuscan Estate.  Sarah and Mike wanted an intimate and elegant wedding and chose the home of Sarah's Mom and Step-Dad.  We could not imagine a more perfect place for their day.  There was an evident labor of love throughout the estate gardens, and that was stated numerous times by family and friends throughout the day.  Kudos to Toot and Gene for breathtaking attention to the background details!!!

Not only was the venue absolutely perfectly manicured, but the guests and family members were an absolute delight to be around the entire day.  Despite the steamy 100+ temperatures of the day, not one person complained, and it was evident that everyone was so happy to be there for this wonderful day.

Here's the first part of Sarah and Mike's nuptials . . .

LOVED this glimpse of Sarah's Mom's first look at her daughter.

 Without a doubt, one of our favorite Dad reactions of all time - PRICELESS!!!

 Sarah is very lucky to have two adoring fathers that clearly think the world of her, and were there to give her away.

Dear Sarah & Mike,

Hope you enjoyed the first look at your beautiful wedding day! 

Everything was absolutely perfect and we loved being a 

part of it. We can't wait to show you the second part 

of your day :)

Big Giant Hugs!!!

Chris & Nicole - Happily Wed (shot by Lisa)

For Kelly and I, the best thing about Weddings is that we get to shoot them together. But every once in awhile a Wedding comes along that only calls for one Photographer. The Wedding of Chris & Nicole was one of those. Nicole is an old High School classmate of mine and I had been watching all the sweet posts about her new engagement. I was thrilled to be able to photograph their big day. These two are crazy about each other, it is really sweet to see.....and they had a very small intimate ceremony at Nicole's best friends beautiful home. It was just a perfect way for these love birds to start their new life together with their 3 (combined) boys.

We met up for some pictures of the 2 of them before hand. It was super hot but these 2 were troopers!!

Love Love Love this!!!

Then we headed out for the ceremony and a fun reception!

Chris and the boys....so handsome!

Married!!!

Nicole and Chris,

It was an honor to spend your day with you.

I wish you guys many many years of happiness, but by

the love I saw between you two, it is surely to be a 

wonderful ride :)
