I cannot express the sheer amount of joy this wedding brought us!!

We love all of our weddings; it’s the honor of our lives to be invited into such emotional and intimate days. To try our absolute best to not only capture the love you have for each and the all the wedding things, but also the little moments with your families and friends who are families! To treat every day with the care we’d take for our own sibling’s wedding.

When the wedding is for a colleague, the pressure is ON! We feel the responsibility 10-fold, knowing there were so many other photo options out there for our friend. Drew and Marty’s wedding was just such a day. :)

We first met Drew at a Disney wedding a couple of years ago. Within 10 minutes he was glowing talking about Marty and how amazing he is! Marty was exactly as wonderful as Drew pained him out to be, and they are truly one of those couples that immediately make you feel like old friends. The day was so sweet and emotional; you couldn’t help but see how beloved Drew and Marty are with their village.

This was our second wedding at the Capen House, and it’s now been the home for two all-time favorite weddings. I hope this trend continues! :)

First look magic :)

My two favorite photos from the whole day right here :

Marty and Drew, is it too soon to do it again?! Thank you so much for having us!! :)

Marsha + Judy : Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge Wedding

“A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.” ― L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

That quote kicked off Marsha and Judy’s wedding ceremony, and I can think of no more fitting description for these two incredible women.

They’ve been together for almost 20 years- first meeting online, becoming close over messages, then their first date at Steak and Shake. They’re the two incredible aunts of my best friend, Veronica, and my newest acquired family members as I slowly carve out a permanent spot in her family. :) When I started asking Veronica questions about how they met, she responded with, “I don’t actually know- They’ve just always been ‘Marsha and Judy’ as long as I can remember.” I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a couple more beloved- When they opened up the mic for toasts during the reception, it was practically standing room only of people sharing their memories, love, and gratitude for these two, each sentiment more touching than the last.

In the 13 years we’ve photographed weddings, this was my all-time favorite ceremony. Veronica’s dad officiated, her mother sang, and every quote, sentiment, vow, and laugh was so perfectly tailored to them and the life they’ve built together.

Nate said it best on our drive home. “We’ve only known them a short time, but our lives are already richer because of them.”

Marsha and Judy, we love you to the moon, and we hope you love your wedding preview. Thank you for the greatest honor of letting us be your photographers!! :)

I have never, ever seen a more joyful start to a wedding ceremony than watching Marsha literally giggle and dance her way down the aisle and both of them greeting their guests with big hugs and kisses!!

Favorite. <3

Trying to steal a kiss after Judy said her vows! :)

Marsha and Judy- My *only* complaint about your wedding is that we never got a photo together! Let’s fix that asap. We love y’all!!!! :)

Yay Florida!
