andrew & mikaela

A few weeks ago, on a gorgeous day in June, Andrew & Mikaela became Mr. & Mrs.! These two individuals are so genuinely warm, kind, relaxed, and true-to-themselves, and it showed throughout their day. Their wedding was classic, elegant, and warm-hearted – a perfect reflection of their personalities and relationship. I loved every second, especially seeing these two smothered in celebration by their amazing friends and family.
I love Mothers-of-the-Bride whose smiles bubble over throughout what can be a busy, whirlwind of a day. Chris was like that – just so happy for Mikaela, and taking it all in. Beautiful! When I first met Mikaela, she told me she wanted a photographer who could make things feel natural, because in her words, “We’re not models.” Well, Mikaela…I beg to differ!!! Mikaela, you are what makes that dress so stunning. You’re gorgeous! Pure joy during their first look. This is one of my favorites from the day. She adores him, and he makes her laugh. 🙂 That’s one good-lookin’ wedding party! Not to mention, they were FUN, and most of them proved they could handle a golf-cart. 😉 This girl wins at the whole cute flower girl thing. She was perfect!  Their ceremony was outside, surrounded by beautiful trees, and proved the weatherman wrong with sunny skies! Finally husband and wife, and looking pretty happy about it. These are the best moments of a wedding day, right after it becomes official. This is pretty much the way to go with wedding cake. An entire table of Nothing Bundt Cakes. Sooooo good!
Aaaand, the dance. Every single person on this floor knew how to bust a move. Including Mikaela’s grandparents! Keep your eyes peeled a few images down… Congratulations, Andrew & Mikaela! I loved being a part of your day so much, and am so grateful you shared it with me. Cheers to the next chapter of your lives together!!!
