Is anything more exciting than the first wedding of wedding season? After 18 years (omg, YES, 18 seasons of weddings), I still get such a thrill from being part of these special days. Weddings are a delightful mix of anticipation, joy, a bit of stress but ultimately so much love and a ton of fun.
On April 26, I had the pleasure of spending the day with Meghan and Raphael. They have been together for so long, and it was finally time to make it official. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, we enjoyed a surprisingly warm and comfortable April day at the stunning Bay Pointe Woods. Meghan and Raphy did a first look, allowing us to capture some beautiful photos before the ceremony. The anticipation and smiles on their faces during that moment before they saw one another for the first time was absolutely heartwarming.
Raphy isn't one to show a lot of emotion, but you could see how thrilled he was to be marrying his longtime love. We even caught a few giddy smiles from him—see if you can spot them all!
Meghan and Raphy, I'm overjoyed for you both and excited for your future together. Thank you for trusting me to capture your wedding day. Congratulations!
