Meet Chelsea

It was the most gorgeous Fall day. Family was bustling about on both sides, but Christine and Dustin both remained calm. The day went off without a hitch, and I could tell that it was perfect in their eyes. They were surrounded by close family and friends and nothing else mattered. They became husband and wife that day.

Dustin is a self-proclaimed “Groom-Zilla.” He admitted that to me as I was taking his pictures. He was worried about how the day would go before the wedding, but I could tell as soon as he saw Christine coming down that aisle, those worries disappeared.

Congratulations Dustin and Christine! I’m so happy I had the pleasure of documenting your day and getting to work with you over the past few months. I know you guys will lead a marriage filled with love and happiness, and I wish you nothing less than a satisfying and fulfilling marriage!

Christine looked gor-geous. Seriously.

Love the shoes!

No Groom-Zilla here!

The wedding itself was the most interesting experience. There were no fewer than 20 people in front, below, behind, and next to me while I was shooting Christine coming down the aisle. Dustin had to lean over JUST to be able to catch a glimpse of her! And I’m not talking about 20 bridesmaids and groomsmen. There were about 20 people in ADDITION to the bridal party, trying to take pictures! Madness, I tell you! But it was sweet to see how excited everyone was to see their Christine.

There were so many traditions during the Filipino ceremony, but it was absolutely beautiful. I loved hearing what each symbol meant. Love this shot of them praying while wearing each of the symbols.

Yum.

The first dance ALWAYS gets me. Without fail, I start to cry during the first dance. I have a weakness for First Dance pictures!

Champagne and Diamonds!
