    Virginia Aquarium Wedding | Renee and John

    Virginia Aquarium Wedding Renee and John They met on a night out. John had the courage to get closer and Renee did something she’s never done. Give her phone number to a stranger during a girl’s night out. When I asked Renee about their relationship, her answer was, “We don’t complete each other, we each compliment the other.” This is how it should be, to make each other a strong ally in life’s race. To have someone have your back, love you and fight for you.  Renee and John are very lay back and their goal was to enjoy their time with family and friends. They got married by the…

    Puerto Rico | The reason I took three weeks off during wedding season

    Florida and Puerto Rico   This blog post has been stashed for the last four weeks. After returning from vacation, wedding season continued and I’ve been working since then. However, today, I felt the need to finish it as my beautiful island of Puerto Rico has gone through a catastrophic natural disaster. Hurricane Maria  has swept my beautiful soil. There is no power in this island of 3.5 million Puerto Ricans, rivers flow on the streets where my family walks every day, homes are completely flooded up to the roof, and there is a lot of grieve. My heart is heavy for the island and the people I love. As…

    One Fish Two Fish Wedding | Matthew and Andrew

    One Fish Two Fish Wedding Matthew and Andrew I absolutely love One Fish Two Fish Weddings. The space is perfect for intimate celebrations. Matthew and Andrew’s wedding was just that.  A small in size but big celebration of love and finding that person who makes you happy. A person who you can feel like yourself again. They met thanks to online dating, quickly hit it off and with long conversations realized they were perfect for each other.  I often ask my couples to tell me about themselves during the wedding planning via a wedding questionnaire. However, I do not read it until after the wedding and when I am ready…

    Shifting Sands Wedding | Adrian and Alex

    Shifting Sands Wedding Adrian and Alex This Shifting Sands Wedding was full of all moments I hold dear. Love, family and a big party! Adrian and Alex met years ago while attending Church. During the ceremony, Pastor Urbanski mentioned how it made all sense that they fell in love. I couldn’t agree more. Alex’s genius blends perfectly with Adrian’s. They love to laugh and have fun with those they love. The way Alex looks at Adrian, says a thousand words along with his smile. On their first date, they went to  Mt. Nittany to hike; four years later they got engaged on the same mountain.  Their weekend celebration was perfectly aligned…

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Angie and Dave | Purple and Blue

    Oceanaire Resort Wedding Angie and Dave I love Angie and Dave and can tell you these two have the recipe for a successful and forever marriage. They know how to laugh with each other, romantic and fun. Their wedding at the beautiful Oceanaire Resort seemed like it was going to be a “wash out”. It poured, not rained, poured most of the day. It even rained on us while taking formals (evidence below) and right before the ceremony. However, the rain stopped right before the party was about to start and we rocked the night away.  Now, you may think you are seeing double but no, Dave has a twin…
