I have been anxiously awaiting the return of Charlene and Mike from their honeymoon so that I could share this with them and last night I received the, “We are back” email:)!
Charlene and Mike were married at Independence Harbor on March 22nd – one of the best March weather days here in Massachusetts! I met them at the venue, at just about sunset time, and although I was only with them for a handful of hours, we were able to capture and document their day beautifully!
I arrived a few minutes early to grab some pictures of the venue and their details – and I got to spend a few minutes with Judy and Bob of Judy’s Village Flowers…my friends and former employers from when I was in high school (and the people who made me a boutonniere pinning expert:)!When Charlene pulled up, she was STUNNING! I knew she would be though – she always looked beautiful even at our meetings:)!
We grabbed a few pictures of her and her sister before tucking her away inside – and out of sight from Mike and the guests arriving…
When Mike arrived with the guests we aimed to get some of him and his brother too! We had a few hecklers as the guests scooted on by – but it got us some laughs too:)!
The ceremony took place inside – it was one of our best March days, but not an outside kind of day:)!
There were still a few minutes of daylight outdoors and we took advantage of it!
After some family formals back inside, the reception was ready to begin! Charlene’s nephews were awesome for the whole time I was with them – adorable!
After the dances, the blessing and speeches began…
the boys looked on as their mom gave her speech!
Mike’s brother got some big reactions from the crowd (and from Charlene:)!
Then the party began!
Mike and Charlene – Congratulations on a fantastic wedding and evening and thank you for allowing me to be a part of it! You two are fantastic and so aren’t your families:)!
