One of the greatest compliments you can give a photographer is your trust. When Lisa reached out and shared that she had followed my work through a family friend over the years, she told me that when it came time for her and her longtime love, Vic, to finally make it official, she knew she wanted me there to capture it. I was beyond honored to be chosen, and it was such a joy to be part of their day.
Lisa and Vic’s wedding was filled with intention and heart. They chose their date—a Tuesday this year—so it could eclipse a difficult memory in Lisa’s life. Instead of being a reminder of loss, that day is now marked by joy, love, and celebration. Watching Vic tear up as Lisa came down the hill toward him was such a moving moment. His emotion was so genuine, and it was clear he was right where he wanted to be all day long.
The ceremony took place in the bright sunshine of their backyard, a setting that felt so personal and meaningful. Even though not everyone could be there in person, Vic’s sister joined in from New York on FaceTime—almost the entire day!—so she could celebrate alongside them from afar. Afterwards, they hosted a reception for family and friends at the Eagles Club building just down the road.
Even though the summer heat and a few air conditioning hiccups made things a little toasty, the celebration was filled with laughter, connection, and so much love. It may have been on a Tuesday, but nothing about it felt “small.” The day carried big feelings in every way.
Lisa and Vic, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day. I had such a wonderful time with you and your family, and I wish you both a lifetime of love, joy, and happiness together!
