I’m kicking off the wedding season on a very high note. From the second I stepped into the Warehouse I knew this was going to be a very special day.  I was amazed when I first saw Joelle’s bouquet, it really said a lot about her personality.  As for Craig, his family is a huge indication of how humble he is.  Heck, I knew they were unbelievable by the first five minutes of our meeting.  I can’t give a big enough shout out to their families.  They were just so incredibly nice and sincere.

As you’ll soon see, the day was filled with countless heartfelt moments.  Joelle’s father seeing her for the first time really sticks out for me.  We had a blast taking outdoor pics, they were up for anything.  Also give them both credit, as they braved the cold for almost two hours for our outdoor pics (please remind me to bring my gloves next time).

First of all, have to thank the special people at The Warehouse.   It’s an unbelievable venue and every time I step foot in there it’s amazingly different.  A huge shout out goes to my man Lew of Engaging Images, always a pleasure to shoot with such a pro.  The boys from DMS video, always a pleasure to shoot with you (I seriously better see a teaser soon, that’s a threat). Marsha Baker of Cherry and Baker event planners, for doing such an amazing job making sure the day flowed smoothly……you know how much I look up to you.

When the world is cold,

And the way you look tonight”They had all major food groups.  Fresh, right out of the oven cookies.  A huge candy station including pop rocks.  To top it off they had the best and simplest of all midnight foods…..grilled cheese.Going through the pics put a huge smile on my face.  I can’t say enough great things about their families and friends, so warm and inviting.  Craig’s mother even took the time to call me after the wedding, and had the nicest things to say.  That meant so much!  Joelle & Craig, you guys are very lucky to have each other.  I can’t thank you enough for having me capture your special day with you!
