At the last moment before the ceremony the “Something Blue” handkerchief was no where to be seen

Semia Dunne of FLOWERS by SEMIA came up the stairs with this amazing solution …

What made this wedding so unique was that the  flowers  came from the  gardens of the property.

They were so beautifully arranged by Semia Dunne of FLOWERS by SEMIA.

The ancient trees on this property were one of my favorite backdrops for shooting.

The tent was supplied by NEWPORT TENT company.

When I am photographing children, I love to just hang out with them to get a feel for who they are

These small natural actions are, in my mind, the most beautiful … unselfconscious and graceful.
