A look back at Chinelo & Randall’s May wedding …

With the end of summer approaching, I thought it would be nice to share this sweet thank you note from Chinelo and Randall. As fall nears, it’s nice to take a look back at their wedding which happened to be on Memorial Day Weekend – it was the perfect summer kick-off. Not only are you about to lay your eyes on some spectacular photography, but the images will keep you in the summer spirit!

A quote from Chinelo & Randall's sweet thank you note ...

"We really want to thank you guys -- ESPECIALLY DEBBIE -- for doing such an
amazing job with our wedding. We actually had a great time (and I fully
expected not to having watched one too many Bridezilla shows). The
execution was amazingly smooth, I don't recall ever being stressed out.
Needless to say, we were thrilled and really want to express our
sincere thanks for your help in making our wedding so wonderful...Thanks again!!! "

A new trend to keep your eye on ....

A new trend I absolutely love is an “e session” or engagement session … not only are couples getting engagement photos done but engagement videos are also becoming very popular … check out this video Ada Marie and Matthew sent us of their engagement session with Joe Minnella. It’s absolutely adorable!

We loved this video and can't wait to host their wedding ceremony and reception next July! Thanks to Joe from Joe Minnella Cinematography for letting us show this video!!

Stepping out in Style ...

Lucky in Love …

Don’t you just feel like the luckiest person in the world when you have found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? It melted my heart to see how absolutely in love this past weekend’s couples were. Melissa and Chris even coined the saying “lucky in love” as their wedding theme … I can’t think of anything more appropriate for their celebration of love!

Each couple this past weekend was “lucky in love” and here are some of the oh so cute details proclaiming their love. On Friday, you could literally see the adoration Kristen and Bob have for each other … Kristen surprised Bob with a custom designed ice sculpture - a bride and groom on a jet ski! I love love loved this!

On Saturday, Kerry and Jim enjoyed the start of their marriage with a signature drink creation highlighting their last name… a “mai”jito. This fun detail is something I always love to see brides and grooms do at their reception. They also celebrated their Irish heritage with an emerald green theme. Bold centerpieces designed by Petal Beach brightened the ballroom and their guests danced the night away with Unforgettable DJ’s providing the entertainment.

On Sunday, Melissa and Chris’ wedding reception had the classically beautiful wedding colors of black and white and I loved how they used pops of red to enhance their reception. Sean Patrick Photography captured all the details including the ceremony programs proclaiming “lucky in love” and a lucky horseshoe that was hung on the gazebo as they recited their vows.

I don’t think any of these couples will be lacking good fortune! Best Wishes!
