The Details

You can tell a lot about a couple based on what their family, friends & guests have to say about them.  From the moment I arrived to document the getting ready process, the mood was pure excitement.  There was no stress, personality clashes or chaos.  Alyssa was calm as can be & her bridesmaids were incredibly helpful & attentive.  It was clear that Alyssa & Rob are a quality couple who had surrounded themselves with quality people.  The entire day was overflowing with love, support & pure celebration as these two started their new journey as husband and wife.

One of my favorite moments of their wedding day was the father/daughter dance.  As Alyssa’s father led her out to the dance floor, Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” began to play.  But before they started dancing, Alyssa’s father privately shared a few words with her followed by the sweetest embrace.  There wasn’t a dry eye in the place … including mine.
