MITCH + ANNE MARIA | Wedding

Sometimes I just don’t have words to describe a wedding, but I’m going to try.  Mitch and Anne Maria were married last weekend at Church of the Advent down in the Mt. Adams area.  We had an absolutely stunning September day to work with.  Anne Maria was the kind of bride that was an absolute classic beauty.  She carried herself with such elegance, and her dress, veil, hair, etc. were all so perfectly picked for her.  I just loved Mitch’s reaction when he saw her down the aisle for the first time – pure elation.  He could not hold the tears back!!  The girls all wore ombre pink dresses, which was a first for me to see.  I didn’t even notice they were ombre at first – it was a subtle look that just added something special to their look.  Then the reception was held at the Monastery Event Center.  Wow.  Can I have my wedding again but do it there? Good grief, that place was spectacular.  It was magnificent and grand, while at the same time charming and rustic.  I loved all the exposed brick and decaying elements of the original building that was redone into this event center.  It was just perfect.  It was such a fun day and fun party, that I felt so blessed to be a part of!

Thank you, Mitch & Anne Maria, for allowing me to photograph your beautiful day!!
