What a wedding! What a couple! We met Caroline at a bridal show earlier in the year and I remember thinking… how cool would it be if Elphaba hired us. For those that don’t know who Elphaba, shame on you haha. Just kidding. But really… Elphaba is the lead in the NYC Broadway show Wicked. Our bride Caroline was Elphaba for a few years. Bummer that I didn’t get to see her when I went, I was a year too early! Fast forward a few months after the bridal show, we get an inquiry from this super cute guy named Austin Colby, (yes I stalk all of you who inquire) and he is also a broadway guy. They wanted to Skype us and soon they would hire us for their Turf Valley Wedding. We were so thrilled when Caroline and Austin hired us as we knew 1) they’d be a great fit personality-wise with us, but 2) their wedding would not only be beautiful but an incredible party. 

When your bride tells you that she’s coming in on a firetruck, you know it’s gonna be a fun wedding. Meredith and Joey had a STUNNING Turf Valley wedding… their color palette vivacious and regal! I love that they weren’t afraid to go BOLD and colorful. I personally love when bouquets look killer against complimentary bridesmaids dresses!

From the first look, to the sweet tears of daughters, to fake money being thrown at reception, and guests wheeling in on luggage carts, this wedding sure made memories for all. 

This is probably the first time in a long time that we’ve had days and day and day of rain. What’s crazy is that somehow the clouds didn’t open up until minutes after finishing all portraits for this amazing couple. 

The week leading up to Stephanie and Brad Turf Valley wedding was one of suspense. Thinking through Game Plan A and B (and C too) and reworking timelines to make the most out of photo time on their wedding day. 

The morning of the wedding the sun was out and smiles were on all our faces. We knew we had a window of daylight and sunshine before the clouds would roll in. We still can’t believe it. We even were ready with rain boots and umbrellas.

It seems that this year most of our couples are the result of online dating. It’s actually amazing, over half our couples met online. I used to be anti-online dating, and I’ve come now to think it’s a fabulous idea!

Megan and Luke met online and started dating in the summer of 2013 and just clicked! They were engaged a year later in July of 2014! These two are two cute. Their initials are the same but backwards MEL & LEM).
