all weddings are special. every single one is different and timeless in a different way. but, this one…this wedding…is beyond special for me. not only did i get to go back home to shoot a wedding, but i get to do it for one of my amazing friend Kali and her soon-to-be hubby, Matt. after my rough weather last weekend, it was blissful to awake on saturday morning to nothing but blue skies, sun, and a gentle sea breaze.

i traveled all over downtown to find the perfect spot for too shoot these gorgeous flowers (notice the small yellow flowers??? its DILL, so all i did was want to snack on the bouquet the whole time i was photographing it). i found a beautiful door in the Farmsworth Museum area. notice the number….

i just loved Kali’s tattoos on her wrist. obviously…ready for marriage in every way…the two most important elements permanently placed on her body and in her soul.
did i mention it was a perfect day….
she is such a gorgeous bride…you could see it on every man’s face in at the wedding {even Noah’s…the ring bearer}
they literally glow…
anyone who knows Kali, knows what a great sense of humor she has. i think she is going to fit right into this family…
{as a side note, i will be photographing Matt’s sister and her finance this fall…she is seen at the bottom of this set. i can’t wait!}
its so amazing to watch someone you have grown up with…someone who you have seen change and succeed, find the love of their life. 
daily mantra: love is what dreams are made of….{anonymous}
RECEPTION PICS TOMORROW…..
