What a fun Halloween night we had with this family. Thank you Danielle Desnoyers Photography for capturing it all!

In the voice of Stefon, this photoshoot had EVERYTHING. It was a small, intimate dinner party of a couple that had been dating for forever who had a surprise wedding last week! It incorporated all the things they love like Halloween, spooky vibes, dressing up, and the amazingness that is the aquarium. Congrats Dylan and Kaeleigh!
