Claire is one of my long time friends and without her I would never have met Chris, fallen in love and started a family with him so I owe her my life, literally!!  It was a no brainer that I would one day photograph her wedding.

As she and Dave planned their wedding I knew it was going to be something different and an event that matched their personalities perfectly!  From the backyard tent, the hand written vows, dancing their first dance to Bad Company’s Feel Like Making Love, the food trucks throughout the evening and flowing cocktails their day was as unique as their love is.  It may have taken them a while to find each other but their journeys crossed paths just a few years ago and from that point forward joined into one.

It was such a pleasure to capture your love story Claire and Dave!  The day was nothing short of spectacular and having your closest friends and family share in your celebration was icing on the donut cake:)  I’m wishing you a lifetime of happiness and nothing but endless love for the rest of your lives.  Enjoy!
