Do you know that I love? I love couples who are a perfect match who look into each other’s eyes and without saying a word they say I love you. With just a look, a swipe of their hands or a gentle kiss. MaryEllen and Nick are a perfect match. The entire day from their first look to their exit was one glance, one touch, one kiss after another that told the world, we love each other, we are married and we intend to stay that way because we are committed. Although they were married on a blustery fall day and we froze during the first look it was a magical day filled with fun people magical light, and the happiest family. So regardless of the weather we were all warm.

MaryEllen was the most beautiful bride in her Ava Clara Bridal Couture dress designed by Eddy K and The Posh Pair was the perfect match for her and her bridal party’s hair and makeup. Everyone looked flawless from beginning to end.

MaryEllen and Nick, here is your day. I hope these photos help you to relive every moment of your day and you are filled with the same warm loving feelings everytime you look at them.

Meanwhile the boys got Nick ready for seeing his bride for the first time.

Maryellen’s crazy fun brothers dressed up in marshmallow suits to be the blocker for MaryEllen and Nick’s first look.

I am a HUGE fan of first looks, because not only do you get to see each other without a 100 people watching you; if you plan it well we get to spend more than a rushed 15 min together taking amazing portraits that you will cherish for a lifetime.

The Lesner Inn was beautifully set with amazing decor and gorgeous flowers by The Wandering Petal.

A sunset ceremony overlooking the Linkhorn Bay is always beautiful!

I always wish my couple away for just one more quick photo at night and the Lesner Bridge was a PERFECT backdrop for their portrait.

Then back to the party to dance the night away.

They ended the night with a sparker exit…the wind and the crazy crowd..made it interesting…we might have had a burnt eyebrow or two.

MaryEllen and Nick, thank you so much for making me a part of your day. It was so much fun being with you and capturing all your moments. I wish you the very best life has to offer. XOXO ~ Melody
