I love telling stories! I learned very early on that my ability to see and visually tell a story was what made my style and approach to a wedding day unique– but when I’m handed a DAY like this, the story tells itself! The genuine and sincere love that Marisa and Chris share is a love story for the ages! They say a million words with one glance, they connect on so many levels and the magic is a joy to witness and photograph. This day threatened rain but nothing hindered the peace and harmony in the air as two families arrived at this beautiful private residence and celebrated the love that Marisa and Chris have found in one another. I loved the laid-back party atmosphere of this wedding (and personally think every wedding should have a cocktail hour BEFORE the ceremony!). Everything about it seemed to fit Marisa and Chris to a tee; it was the entrance to a pathway that they will walk faithfully. I can’t wait to see where it leads!
a little peek into their day:
