It's hard to know where to start with this one. I have been friends with the groom -- Stephen -- and his three daughters for 20 years now and have been SO BLESSED to be a part of so many of their life moments. I photographed his daughter Michelle's wedding 9 years ago and was also honored to document his wife's memorial service a few years back. Imagine my joy when I heard the news that he was getting remarried to Patricia -- an absolutely lovely woman -- and that they wanted me to be there once again!!
Between them, Stephen and Patricia have 5 children and 8 grandchildren. So this wedding was a family affair! I loved how they honored their family and how they incorporated them into so many thoughtful traditions throughout the day. This wedding was truly special and was such a joyous way to kick off my fall wedding season!
