Weddings

Frank + Charity

filed in:

I knew from the moment Charity emailed me that I wanted to do her wedding! She is probably one of the most excited brides I’ve ever worked with! We emailed a few days before the wedding and I asked if everything was going smoothly and if she was stressed.  Her response was, “I’m fine, I’m just so ready to marry Frankie!”

.

The day of the wedding I arrived a little early to see the location because I had never been there before and as soon as I turned down the driveway I was thrilled!  Little Page Inn was as cute and quaint as it sounds.  Charity’s dress was unbelievable and all of the boys were in full uniform.  Everything flowed so perfectly.  From the colors to the weather, their day was perfect.  It was such a privilege to capture their wedding and it made it even more fun that they both were extremely excited for their pictures.  It was HOT and I was constantly asking how they were doing during their portraits.  Frank was in full uniform and Charity was carrying about 25 extra pounds of dress!  They would both just laugh and say they were doing great and that they both loved the picture part! Charity, any guy that enjoys taking pictures for an extended period of time in 90 degree weather is a winner!

.

I couldn’t have asked for sweeter, more genuine couple to work with.  Frank and Charity are best friends and it was easy to capture that in their pictures.  Mr. and Mrs. DellaCamera, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. I wish you the very best! Congratulations!

(I seriously have a problem…I can’t pick a few favorites…It literally stresses me to try to narrow it down! So once again I’m blogging an excessive amount of images! sorry dial-up people!)
