Cassie + Anthony |Wedding - Fox Hollow

Their Love Story...

Cassie and Anthony have the cutest love story. They met in 4th grade and Anthony asked Cassie out the next year but Cassie thought boys were icky so she said "no". Anthony tried again in 9th grade and Cassie finally said "yes". After a few years together they went their separate ways, Cassie to college and Anthony into the Army. They remained close through out the years. 5 months after Anthony was deployed to Iraq he came home to Texas on leave, walked in the door got down on his knee and asked Cassie to marry him. ( how many girls are crying right now?)

Their Wedding...

Cassie's sister made her vintage wedding dress and everything perfectly matched her style. Cassie and Anthony had their ceremony at Fox Hollow where all of their friends and family could attend. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, except for Cassie and Anthony who were ready to finish the ceremony so they could party, after all they felt like they had been together forever, lol!

Cassie and Anthony's advice for the newly engaged...

"Make each other's happiness your first priority and laugh as often as possible!"

Nicoline + Marc | Wedding - Giorgios, Baiting Hollow

Their Love Story...

"All you need is love", Nicoline and Marc's favorite song that reminds them of the importance of love in their lives. Both Nicoline and Marc we busy with their careers and getting on in life before realizing that they were in their 30's and hadn't found "the one" yet. They thought they would try online dating with "Plenty of Fish". They knew immediately after their first date together that they had found what they were looking for.

Their Wedding...

Nicoline and Marc had a beautiful family affair at Giorgio's in Baiting Hollow complete with Santa hats for family photos! Plus whats better than working with my favorite videographer,
Justin Bellucci!  I can't wait to see what's next for them...


Nicoline and Marc's advice for the newly engaged...

"Keep it simple."

Heather + Matt | Wedding - Crescent Beach Club, Bayville

Their Love Story...It all begins and ends with Starbucks. Heather and Matt met at Starbucks and on their two year dating anniversary Matt bought Heather a puppy which they appropriately named "Chai". Sometime after Chai entered their lives Matt decided to take Heather on a Kayak outing and stop at, where else...Starbucks before heading out. In the same Starbucks parking lot as their first date, Matt proposed to Heather. Wonder what their first child will be named, lol!

Their Wedding...

I have to say that this was honestly one of the most exciting weddings I've ever shot. Heather always dreamed of an outdoor ceremony and what better place than on the beach at Crescent Beach Club. It was a beautiful, mild day in November, with a slight chance of a passing shower.
Heather and Matt decided to go ahead with the ceremony as planned since it would be rather short and we'd be inside in no time. (I'm actually laughing as I'm writing this) The procession went on as planned and as the ceremony proceeded a giant black cloud moved in, it got very cold and extremely windy. At one point the wedding canopy began to blow over, held down by the best man, empty chairs flying around, guests covering their faces from blowing sand and everyone including Heather and Matt laughing. Immediately after their kiss everyone ran inside and had a great party, we still got amazing photos :)

Heather and Matt's advice for the newly engaged...

"Enjoy being engaged before the stress of wedding planning starts."

Sarah + Kenny | East Wind Caterers

Their Love Story... Best friends make great soul mates. Sarah and Kenny met while working together and just knew they were meant to be together. They found everything came so easily and that they were each others best friend. After tow years together, on their anniversary Kenny set the scene with a sunset dinner on a dock overlooking the bay and proposed to Sarah, who of course said "Yes".

Their Wedding...

The fall colors were amazing and their outdoor ceremony just before the sun set was pure eye candy. Sarah and Kenny had a pretty big BP with 18 ppl which could have been unruly but Cheeky Details was there to keep everything flowing smoothly. East Wind Caterers was beautiful as always, adorned with red roses everywhere. It was also great seeing one of my favorite couples from the past, Kristy and Evan and their families.

Melissa and Rob Get Hitched at Raphael Vineyard

One of my favorite, silly, goofy, fun couples; Melissa and Rob had a perfect wedding day at Raphael Vineyard - My favorite venue! What could go wrong? Absolutely nothing and if it did Melissa certainly wouldn't let it ruin her day. Melissa's beautiful vintage style combined with the rustic outdoor vibe of the vineyard plus the tractor we couldn't get enough of, was awesome. Raphael Vineyards puts on a show like no other venue, the incredible sunlight that shines through the Italian Villa windows onto the sparking glasses and centerpieces always seems to captivate me. This place had me at hello :)

One thing I especially like about this wedding is that Melissa was going to have a good time no matter what and it showed in her photos. We even had to make an "outtake" folder for all her silly faces, which honestly were some of my favorites!

Congrats Melissa and Rob!
XOXO
