my favorite moment.

So many moments on a wedding day can be special, unique, and often incredibly intimate. We each have our favorites. Some people love the look on the groom as he sees his bride walking down the isle, others love the first kiss.

Without a doubt, my absolute favorite part of a wedding is when the bride and groom exit after the ceremony, typically sharing a warm embrace once outside of everyone’s view. They are able to finally drown out the world and everything around them, squeeze tightly- all inhibitions lost. All the planning, thought, and the many details are set aside.

The weight of the day is lifted. Because now……you are married to your love.

Drew and Molly are pictured above. This was captured moments before they knew we were there. To me, it was the most magical moment of the day.

{Many more from this wedding to come…..}

holly & helios

There is something so sweet about Holly when Helios is around. She smiles so big and bright, and you can just tell they are so deeply in love. I love that Helios is so sweet and tender with her, and yet the next second is the biggest goofball, making her and everyone else laugh. I think they’re just adorable together.  :)

We had such a wonderful day with them documenting their beautiful wedding. From their traditional Chinese door games that allow the groom in to see his bride, to the traditional tea ceremony, and on to the gorgeous outdoor ceremony over looking our city….I’d say the day flowed quite perfectly.

Helios and his father:

Sister and brother….as they walked down the isle, the ring bearer would hit his sister’s hand to make the petals fall and she would giggle so loud! They were OBLIVIOUS to everyone watching. It was precious.  :)
