Ariel shares a little info with us....."Our wedding day was full of personal touches. During the ceremony, I wore my grandmother's headpiece from her wedding in 1952 . My bracelet belonged to my late grandmother. My great uncle assisted as Deacon during the ceremony and my great aunt baked our delicious three flavored wedding cake. As a graphic designer by trade, I created all of our printed materials (save the dates, invitations, menus, programs, etc…) It was very comforting to have so many family members and friends contribute to our wedding day.
We used "fun, memorable, and unique" as our theme words during the planning. These words helped us plan and select all of the details that went along with creating the beautiful day. From the save the dates, to the invitations, to the photo booth at the reception, we tried to create a very relaxed and enjoyable environment.
The entire day was a reflection of our commitment to one another and a nod to our personal style. Friends and family joined us from all around the country to celebrate with us and they did not let us down when it came to celebrating! The positive energy of the day was a great start to our marriage.
The photos are a constant reminder of how magical the day was. Emily's ability to capture the mood and essence of the day is mesmerizing and each time we look at them we are transported back to that unforgettable day."
