 annie’s vows to brian are so sweet and genuine
 gotta love the red shoes
 and the shinny rings

 the caption here could be something like “your friends are always there to hold you up!”
 the brides maids bouquet

 if you’re wondering, they had identical rooms

 this box was given to annie from her girls and it was filled with photos, cards and more
 i love their reactions during the first look, which I think is a great idea especially if you need extra time for photos
 i’m so proud of Helen for getting these shots at their first look
 so this is the infamous lincoln that was also used in brian’s parents original wedding over 30 years ago. how cool is that?


 these cute kids needed directions to the wedding apparently

 i love this give away moment with annie’s father
 and of course the hand off
 it was definitely a beautiful day saturday


they even had a colorful and fun lion dance
 a perfect way to end the night with a midnight ride in the back of a stretched hummer

a special thanks to aaron dieppa for coming out and shooting with us.
