Personalized, emotional, wedding perfection – that’s how I like to describe Lisa and Alex’s late fall wedding. At every turn, I found the most heartfelt details – that Lisa had spent months imagining – come to life. From the cap-sleeved embroidered gown that seemed to be made only for her (but was actually a vintage consignment find!) to the couple’s intensely personalized vows, I felt truly honored to be capturing their day in photos. And I haven’t even mentioned the inspirational love quotes printed on the candles at the reception, the adorable vintage-styled bird cake topper, an emotional dance shared by Alex and his grandmother, or the choreographed salsa dance that the couple performed as a surprise to their guests! This wedding will stand as a forever-favorite of mine, held up by a solid foundation of intimate real moments mixed with pure prettiness.
My favorite image of the day – Lisa’s new grandmother-in-law’s reaction to seeing her in her dress!
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house after Alex’s dance with his grandmother.
Then, their surprise salsa dance stole the show. They had been secretly taking lessons for months and they were so good!
