Tips & Ideas

Hoffmaster state park was a gorgeous place for a wedding, especially in the fall.  The air was cool and crisp, there was the noise of the fire crackling in the background and Brian & Melissa were surrounded by their closest family and friends while they promised forever to one another.  It was a special day that no one will soon forget.

I love small weddings like this.  They are intimate, not over the top and just about what is important.  With ample time for portraits at a beautiful location….I am one happy lady!

I loved their rings..Brian’s ring had such a unique pattern on the side and Melissa’s ring had a small stone on the side…so pretty!

Right before the ceremony we caught a glimpse of Melissa and her sister hiding out in the woods….moments like these make me smile 🙂

Waiting for his lady…

This was the cutest part of the day…the three boys trying to roll the aisle runner down the aisle together.  It probably took seven minutes but it kept everyone laughing and was a fun memory!

I LOVED Melissa’s blush dress.  The sequins were just enough sparkle for the special day and the skirt moved so well with the wind.  Love!
