These two just scream love and I had a pleasure capturing their wonderful day at the Ritz Carlton.

It was a cold rainy day December 22nd, but no one noticed–the day was perfect, the details were gorgeous, the hotel was dressed up for Christmas and the small, intimate ceremony and reception was filled with joy, laughter, family and the closest of friends. Oh and it was full of dancing, I mean TONS OF DANCING! Everyone was dancing during cocktail hour. I’d say it was everything these two cherish in their lives and everything they hoped their wedding day would be.

I love a man so in love he gets emotional when seeing his bride for the first time! 

Aren’t the girls fun! They came up with this pose themselves. The fun advantage to have “teen maids” as Maggie kept calling them, they love to just goof around  🙂

There’s just something about this shot that I love, her girlfriends fluffing her dress to get the best picture. 

Seriously this room was magical!

Party animals I’m telling you!!

Right before the end of the night, a few Santas stopped by for some dancing with the Bride.

Congratulations Maggie and Joe! Thanks for allowing me to capture YOUR story!
