Marianne and Garrett are just one of the most wonderful couples we’ve ever worked with. They are SO in love, and SO perfect together! I felt like all the stars aligned for their wedding day and everything just turned out beautifully. Marianne is SUCH a beauty! It was a joy photographing her.

When a bride gets a little blue box from her groom you KNOW it’s going to a REALLY good wedding.

When I was going through editing the images Dustin took of Garrett and his guys getting ready all I could think was, “OH MY GOSH! That looks like so much fun!” Garrett is one of the best grooms ever! He was totally present for his pictures and just rocked everything out. He gets a gold star from SMP.

Then it was time to get these two all married and stuff.

I love this shot Dustin got of their first kiss… so tender!

And I love the post ceremony high fives and hugs.

Then it was time for some couple snuggle time pictures.

Then we were off to Scott’s Seafood Restaurant for their beautiful reception. All of the details of the wedding were so beautiful.

Then is was party time. And what a party it was. Marianne and Garrett are LOVED. From the beautiful toasts to the dancing it was just jam packed with love for this beautiful couple. It was such a joy to be a part of.

Marianne and Garrett THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for letting us witness your lovely wedding! You guys are just awesome and we adore you! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below for more of this delightful wedding.

Julia and Tom are just two of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. They celebrated thier 25th wedding anniversary this year and did so in style. They traveled to Hawaii to renew their vows and then came back home and had a big, beautiful party at The Citizen Hotel. Let me say here and now, it was THE best party I have EVER been to! I am so grateful Dustin and I got to be a part of this celebration!

Isn’t this cake STUNNING??

It was most definitely a night full of surprises. Tom and Julia’s oldest daughter, Ashleigh, had told her parents she wouldn’t be able to make the party but just because you tell them something like that doesn’t mean it’s actually true. Ashleigh decided to surprise her parents by dressing up as a waitress. They honestly didn’t recognize her for almost 30 seconds. It was fabulous!

Then the party really got started! It was wonderful to be with this group of people who have known and loved Julia and Tom for YEARS! And it’s obvious why they’re friends with this great group: THEY ALL KNOW HOW TO PARTY!

Another surprise during the night was just for Tom. Let’s say Tom is no fan of the Burger King King. So of course, the King HAD to make an appearance at the party!

Julia and Tom! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your celebration. We love you guys and hope you have 25 more years of happiness together. Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below.
