We knew from Melissa and Josh’s Boardwalk Inn engagement session that their wedding day would be amazing.

Melissa and Josh fell in love with The Williamsburg Winery for their wedding venue.

What I like to call the “It takes a village” moment of the day. ;)

I think it’s the highest compliment when a fellow wedding photographer asks us to shoot their wedding day. Jessie, I still don’t know why you picked us but I’m so happy you did!! :)

It’s the craziest feeling photographing a wedding in Nate and my would-have-been wedding venue, the gorgeous Maitland Art Center in Orlando. I have no regrets about our elopement, but this location will always hold such a special place in my heart! I’m so happy Tiffany and Jimmy’s wedding gave us an excuse to go back and visit “our place.”

I want to do an entire blog post on Tiffany and Jimmy’s wedding ceremony, which was filled with so many sweet personal touches. Tiffany made this awesome ring book box out of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, conveniently showcasing Chapter 15: The Unbreakable Vow. <3
