River House Wedding | Colleen & Will are married!

I could not have asked for a better couple to kick off the 2012 wedding season with than Colleen & Will.  It was a beautiful day with perfect weather and so much fun.  I knew from the minute I met them at their engagement session that it would be a really great wedding and it truly was in every way imaginable. They are so comfortable with each other and in front of the camera, which made my part so much easier.  They chose to do a “first look” and most of their photos before the ceremony which allowed me to take advantage of some really great light and they were able to make it to the reception that much sooner.

Colleen had a great team of vendors lined up to bring her vision together and River House was the perfect setting for all of it.  There was no shortage of smiles, laughter, really great music and dancing at their reception.  I love it when couples have a band and Cloud 9 was great to work with.

Thank you both for having me with you on your special day!  I loved every minute of it!

XOXO
