Caitlin + Steven

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know Caitlin, her daughter Mila, and Steven over the last few years.   I first met Caitlin when she contacted me 3 years ago to capture a mommy and me mini session for her and her then two year old daughter Mila.   As we chatted throughout the session, Caitlin talked about someone she had been seeing named Steven and how Mila had wrapped him around her little finger.   Fast forward a couple of years; Caitlin contacted me again to let me know she and Steven had recently become engaged and wanted me to capture their big day.   I have been looking forward to this wedding ever since.  Finally  the big day rolls around and it’s the HOTTEST day  so far of this year when these three beautiful people officially became a family.

Caitlin had nailed her gold and magenta modern glam theme perfectly with bold floral accents.    From the floral print invitations to the bright peony bouquet, every detail was perfectly planned.   One of my favorite moments of the ceremony is when Steven read his vows to Caitlin’s daughter, Mila.  It was hard not to be touched by the sweet sentiment even though Mila hid in her moms dress the entire time. She did, however, have to hold up her brand new ring up to the light to have a good look and that moment had everyone in stitches.

We loved sharing in your day, thank you.
