When Nate and I started dating almost 10 years ago, Maria was one of the first of Nate’s friends I met. Crazy to think a couple months short of 10 years later, here we are photographing her wedding day! :) So excited to share some previews of Chris and Maria’s big day!

Patricia LeJeune did an amazing job with Maria’s hair, and our past bride Michelle took over make-up. :)

Then it was off to their ceremony at Annunciation Catholic Church in Altamonte Springs for the ceremony!

Their reception took place at the Lake Mary Events Center, where we met our pal Tracy Marini of Eventfully Yours! :)

Love this photo taken by our sweet assistant Lydia! <3

Can’t end the preview without putting in my most favorite! :) Maria and Chris, thanks for letting us be a part of it! :)

Over two years ago, we photographed Gwen and Todd’s wedding at Walt Disney World. Gwen contacted us before the Christmas of 2012, and told us she wanted to give us as a Christmas / wedding gift for her newly engaged sister, Genny! We’d been counting the days to Genny’s wedding ever since, which took place in Valley Forge on the Fourth of July. :)

I think all wedding days should begin watching the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. It’s the sort of thing that makes you feel simultaneously ashamed and queasy, but let’s admit it- Also a little bit proud to be an American.

Some getting ready photos from Normandy Farm. :)

The Washington Memoral Chapel, where Genny and Matt’s wedding ceremony took place.

Ceremony time!

Looooooooooooooooooved this chapel- Truly one of my favorites! :)

Of course we had to reenact their sibling photo from Gwen’s wedding! :)

Could have shot here alllllll day!

Yep, a Vulcan mind meld wedding photo. Did I mention how much we love these two?!

Favorite!

Genny, Matt, Valley Vorge, and some very enthusiastic bikers.

Back to Normandy Farm for reception time! :)

Genny and Matt had a slideshow going on the dance floor showing photos tagged with their wedding Instagram hashtag! It was so fun to see everyone’s photos from that day, and especially exciting when our photos popped up. :)
