"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."

We met Caitlin & Stephen at a Berry Acres open house and instantly we knew that this would be a fun wedding!!! From the start of the "getting ready" pictures, to the last bit of the dancing, we had such a great time with this crew. Caitlin's gals were the best! They were so easy to work with and had her back the entire day.

Every bride dreams of sharing all that hard work in preparation of getting her dream day to become a reality with her family. Caitlin and Stephen chose not to see one another before the ceremony and as much as we love doing the first looks, we absolutely respect our couples' decisions. But, it didn't mean we couldn't set up a fun first look with the bride's father and brother. And wow! They did not disappoint! Caitlin's face was all giggles when the other men in her life saw her for the first time. So sweet and we are elated that we were able to capture that.

"I can't imagine this day without you by my side!" Caitlin's bridesmaids were so sweet but what really touched our hearts were the words she spoke privately to each girl. From her heart, she shared how special each one was to her. Not a dry eye in the vicinity!!!

And then there's Stephen. Such a good guy! Their personalities couldn't be more different and yet they were such a perfect match. And like Caitlin, those friends he chose to stand by his side were so great to work with! Every little thing we asked them to do they were right there, ready and willing.

When a bride and groom choose not to see each other before the ceremony, it's a perfect time to set up a special moment. They had written letters to one another and Stephen's reaction to Caitlin's words were so real! So sweet!

It was a perfect day for a wedding! We had a little breeze and no rain!! Their church nuptials were sweet, but one of our favorite memories was the hymn sing. We loved that they including the congregational singing as it helped everyone to feel part of their special day. Having the grandparents do the scripture reading was also a very special memory.

After all that waiting, we finally get to have some fun with the bride and groom and their entourage! They are seriously just the best group to have fun with! And Caitlin & Stephen were pretty daring to attack the rock wall at Berry Acres for their picture! Love that we were the first to capture that shot!

Time to get this party started!! Berry Acres is such a lovely venue, and it was just perfect for these two to have some fun with their guests. The artist, Cindy Scott Artistry, painted such a beautiful in real time painting of the evening, capturing the family and, of course, the groom twirling his bride on the dance floor. Her artistry is stunning and such a special gift for the couple! The first dances were very special, from the bride and groom's choreographed display to Caitlin and her grandfathers. But Caitlin and her dad singing, "A Whole New World" to each other was just a great memory for them both. The cake cutting was hilarious. Caitlin's look at her new husband when he accidentally put his bite in his mouth instead of feeding her was priceless!!

Berry Acres is known for their fireworks and they were so much fun! Lots of oohs and aahs. Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Furlong, for allowing us to be part of your day. It was a magical one for sure! We wish you all the best and hope to be part of future photographic events in your family!!
