It’s always an honor when your friends ask you to capture their wedding day and from the moment I met with Michelle about shooting I knew it would be a blast. It helps when you literally know everyone in the wedding party! The few people I didn’t know before I met during her bachelorette trip to Vegas so by the time the wedding rolled around it was nothing but familiar faces! One of those being my handsome boyfriend who was a groomsmen and has been friends with Don for years.

They got married outside under a gorgeous Chuppah. They had a private moment with their parents where they came up and gave their blessing that I haven’t seen before and was very touching. Luckily the weather agreed with us and we had a gorgeous day for photos! From there it was off to the reception where they opted to do “East Coast Style” which I love, but I had to explain to all our Midwest friends haha. It gets people up moving on the dance floor before dinner and I’m all for that!

Congrats to Don and Michelle!! Here are some of my favorites !
