What can I even start to say about the incredible power couple that is Allison and Nick?? I just freakin love these guys for so many reasons! These two gorgeous souls met in the gym where Nick gave Allison some extra “spotting” (hahaha!) but where they really connected was at a macaroni and cheese festival. I mean don’t you just love them already?! As a photographer, I can’t get enough of their authenticity when they are together. There is almost like a sense of peacefulness that you feel when you are around Allison. I’m not sure exactly how to describe it, but she almost has an angelic way about her. Then you pair her with Nick who is always just beaming from the inside out when he looks at her and I swear it’s almost like you can literally see the sparks between them. Watching such an awesome couple like this blossom before my very eyes is really one of the joys I have in doing what I do for a living. From their engagement session where we hung out with their puppy in the park, to watching them tie the knot later that year surrounded by their closest friends and family… I felt like I was truly documenting history in the making.
As I was editing their wedding gallery and their film I would literally go from watery eyes to bursting out laughing back to needing a kleenex! It’s like a roller coaster of awesomeness with these two and I’m kind of sad the ride is over! I totally want to get back in line and go again LOL! I am literally obsessed with their wedding day from the incredibly charming rustic venue they selected, to the beautiful lush tablescapes and the bridesmaids bouquets which featured my very favorite flower everrrr, stargazer lilies! And can we pause for a moment to admire Allison’s incredible dress!? Seriously– my “favorite dress of 2016” award goes to her. It was sheer perfection! I could go on and on, but I will let their images tell the rest of the story for me. I’m forever grateful to have been able to spend this day alongside them and I wish them all the googley heart eyes for the rest of their lives together!! <3
