When I pulled up to the venue, I had no idea what awaited me on the other side of the double-door entry.  Walking through the threshold, I was met with light and beauty in the simplicity of crisp, white walls.  The lamps hanging from the ceiling were spectacular and uniquely shaped.  The floors shined like a mirror, reflecting all the luminance in the building.  To the left, restrooms and the bridal suite.  To the right, a bar.  Dead ahead... The harbor, and the most beautiful waterfront green that I've seen in ages.

The lawn was adorned with firepits and chairs, and bench swings overlooking the water's edge.  The porch, covered but open and spacious.  The furniture under the awning said "cozy up in me," and the arbor was standing next to it all... Whispering for this enchanting couple to stand beneath it.  

The floor-to-ceiling windows along the waterfront-wall made you feel like you were standing outside when you weren't, and they brought the nature indoors.  

The bride was glowing, and the groom, rightly flushed.  They each had their own quirks and qualities that made it obvious to see why they were becoming one; a true unit; a natural fit.  

Photographing this pair was not only an extreme honor, but it was awe-inspiring, uplifting, and truly magical.  Some of the poses shout "EDITORIAL," while others are endowed in elegance and grace.  Regardless, the day went off without a hitch and I'll forever cherish these magic moments.

See for yourself... These are a few of my favorites...
