I know I know I know it has been forever since I have blogged. I have made it a New Years Resolution to blog more and to post all of my weddings and portrait sessions every single year and I miserably fail this resolution year after year! To be honest, it takes time. For small business owners it’s so frighteningly easy to put social media and posting on the back burner. Emails, editing, designing, packaging, and “me” time (haha, what?) all takes priority over properly getting pictures online and nailing a social media presence. BTW “me” time doesn’t exist unless I wake up at 5am (like I did today) because… I have a wild 4 year old. Not the calm kind either. The kind that will flip the couch upside down if she could kind. So, yeah.
Here we go! Ariana and Shane’s wedding was going to happen in March but ha-ha-ha the world had other plans. They set the date for September and this party was going to happen no matter what! And yes it did. First *official* wedding back after a 6-month (slightly government-sponsored thankfully) “stay-at-home vacation” (with a young kid with no school and nowhere to go so let’s revoke the word “vacation” shall we?)… it felt GOOD to be back at work! Some major highlights of the day– the groomsmen’s copycat robe pictures (first time this ever happened and I hope this becomes a new thing?!) and TONS of tears all day long from literally every single eyeball in the room at any given moment (including the Groom! Like, a lot. I love a crying Groom. Those are the keepers, right?)
The ceremony was in the ballroom at the Breakers West Country Club. I was throughly impressed by the floor to ceiling windows, the chandelier, their gigantic bar in the cocktail area, and the reflective flooring! The entire property just has so many jaw dropping spots and it was fun to jump onto a golf cart and get all around to all of these spots.
Enjoy the highlights!!
