Wow, do I love spring weddings! But I haven't had the pleasure of getting to incorporate the spring blossoms into a wedding yet, until this year. I was super excited to work with Brandon and Erin since
their engagement session last fall. They are a very fun-loving and sweet couple. So much fun to work with, and pretty good looking on top of that, haha! Their friends/bridal party were just the same. Though large groups require a lot more yelling (so they can all hear me ;), this crew was pretty easy to work with. I even got to ride in the party bus to experience all of their fun as well. Just a little crowded, but the best ones always are.
We had so much time after their sweet wedding ceremony to explore two great locations (a farm and an orchard, owned by Erin's family) for photos. And look at all the beautiful backgrounds we were able to get!!! Swoon. It was all the most perfect for the time of year and for the beautiful day it turned out to be. To top it off, we stopped at Perrin Brewing before heading to the reception. My only regret was that Kristin (my assistant for the day) and I weren't able to grab a Raspberry Blonde before getting back to work!
There was tons of fun and dancing at the reception, which I expected, knowing Brandon and Erin's personalities. What a great party! It was a long day, with pretty much more running than I've had to do in a long time, but it was well worth it all. Thank you both, and to all your family and friends who made us feeling welcomed! I wish you both a wonderful life together!
