to say that Kristine and Justin’s day was Perfect doesn’t really describe it correctly.. I love all the weddings I’m part of, it’s hard not to love being a part of a special day and everyone is so unique it’s a joy to experience them.  Kristine and Justin’s day I loved because they are wonderful, and madly in love and their wedding I loved because it was beautiful to watch a vision of love and light and diy too come to such lovely fruition.  Kristine working with amazing people put together her perfect day and it was our honor to be there and watch it come together.  From the “flash mob” style speakers during the ceremony, to the handmade (by HER) napkins each guest used, to the amazing band Scythian (kids I’m telling you misty farm was MADE to have a band in the barn for receptions.. everyone felt like rockstars)  it was truly awesome.  No apologies, this is a long long blog post, I didn’t want to break up the day into two of them.. and if you want MORE you can click on the story slideshow down there at the end… Thank you Kristine and Justin for letting us be part of your vision.

rarely does Sean suggest images for the site, trusting me to my blog posts.. we shot a wedding last Saturday and yesterday he asked me to blog this portrait of Tammy and Mike, a winter wedding, a cold day, but you never would have known it.  I told him I would when the wedding was done and he said, nope, it shouldn’t wait, it’s that good.. and I told him thank you and I agree with him, you can see the magic of having just said their I do’s.
