These two brought so much heart, laughter, and genuine joy, it was an honor to capture their story.

✨ Beach wedding season has officially begun, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to kick it off than with Yvonne and Wayne's unforgettable celebration at Water’s Edge Resort and Spa in Westbrook, CT. 🌊💍

From the soft ocean breeze to the golden sunset dancing on the water, every detail felt like a scene from a dream. Yvonne was radiant in her dress, and Wayne's smile never left his face the entire day. The love between them was undeniable, heartfelt, joyful, and deeply inspiring. 🫶

Beach weddings have a magic of their own, and this one reminded me why I love what I do. Here’s to salty air, sandy toes, and saying "I do" by the sea. 🌾☀️

Let the summer wedding season begin!

Planning your proposal or engagement session? Sunset is always a good idea. 💍💛
