Get comfortable. This is going to take a while. I met Marc and Yelena through a mutual friend. Upon meeting them I was immediately struck by how deeply they care for one another. Their wedding day was a testament to their love with beautiful words and tributes sprinkled throughout the day. To top it all off the weather cooperated 100%.

We started the day at the Mystic Marriot where Yelena was getting ready.

Such a perfect dress.

I love this one Nat grabbed of Yelena's shoes.

And my take.

From there it was onto Jonathan Edwards Winery for the festivities.

Checking out the scene.

Marc and Yelena opted for a First Look before their ceremony. We LOVE when couples do this because it affords us with oodles of time for photos and the bride and groom don't miss their cocktail hour.

Off to go take some portraits...

Work it guys, work it.


Love this little moment.

Marc and his handsome self and Nat's view on the right.

Peak!

Yelena, you are gorgeous.


I had a serious crush on this white wall.

A few more, Nat's is on the left.

They each wrote such sweet and humorous vows to one another.


Sealed with a kiss.

Marc and Yelena gave out bags with rose petals for guests to shower them with. What a cute idea!


Details from the reception.

Introducing Marc's mom and dad.

And Yelena's mom and dad.

Their first dance.



Marc and Yelena invited all their guests to the dance floor to finish their first dance with them.

Like the vows, the toasts were equal part humor and tenderness.
