The rain could not stop the feeling! Emily and Jason are the epitome of a perfect couple. Fun, smart, kind, driven, creative, outgoing, silly and head over heels in love with each other. On the day of the wedding, there was so much love in the room, whether it was exuding off them to each other or from their friends and family that were surrounding them on a crowded dance floor, dancing till the very end.
Emily and Jason wanted nothing ordinary for their wedding. From modern mirror top tables, stunning tall palm centerpieces and cascading white orchids to a lucite chuppah, lime green water glasses, art-deco black and white chargers and a head table with a wow factor times a million, this wedding represented the cool and contemporary vibe that they desired and gushed with stunning details and special moments throughout.
The uniqueness of this wedding carried from beginning to end, including a New Orleans style 'second line' led by the band, inclusive of umbrellas and handkerchiefs, from cocktail hour to the reception; a tribute to Emily’s mother’s hometown and playing into their Cinco De Mayo wedding date. All vendors involved on this wedding would agree that Emily and Jason are a one of a kind special couple, a couple that everyone enjoyed being around (usually laughing!!) and that this was a spectacular wedding.

Our first wedding of 2016 couldn't have started off on a sweeter note. Yuxuan & Guanbo had a perfect blend of traditional Chinese and American culture mixed into their wedding. They were surrounded by their closest friends and family, some of which traveled from China for the special occasion. While they did see each other before the ceremony for the "first look" Guanbo, aka Bo had to pass a test which involved more sit-ups and singing [Mouse Loves Rice] than any groom would want to do with a suit on. I found myself sweating as he made it through his trial of love. Yuxuan was simply happy, elegant and beautiful all day long. Together they are a perfect pair and photographing them was an inspiring process. Though their day was short, since they didnt have a dancing reception it was filled with love, laughter and great connections that we felt privileged to witness.

Sarah and Jon simply had a phenomenal day.
We feel fortunate we were lucky enough to tell their story through our images. We go on and on about great families, friends and moments but these two truly nailed it. We were excited and impressed when we saw them walk down the aisle together, there was something reassuring about it. Kristiaan and I found ourselves loving each and every interaction with their parents and grandparents throughout the day. Just look below to see what we mean. One of our favorite parts of the day was when Jon's dad serenaded them, with harmonica + guitar, instead of just giving a toast. We laughed and cried along with the rest of the guests throughout the toasts and were pleasantly surprised by the fun and wild dancing for the remainder of the reception.

We've been excited about Julie & Alex's wedding for quite some time. Especially since they are Denver natives, and like us had to have their original wedding date pushed back almost a year. Also, who wouldn't be excited about a Baltimore Aquarium wedding? To be fair, their ceremony was in a church but the festivities and portraits happened at the Aquarium - still amazing!
Their day was full of beautiful and fun moments despite the impending tropical storm Billy which fully soaked, Kristiaan, myself and the wedding planners as we attempted to eat dinner. Still we persevered, had a great time interacting with everyone and made some lovely images in the process.
