It is an honor for me to photograph any wedding, but it is such a special pleasure to photograph siblings from the same family!!! It totally makes my heart so happy! Jenna and John’s wedding was one of those weddings. A few years ago John’s brother Mike married amazing girl Gina, and that’s how I met the family. And seriously the whole day felt I was just a part of the family! But enough of me! Can we just look at Jenna and ADMIRE how gorgeous she is! She is was totally a bridal model from the most famous wedding magazine! Everyone just stared in awe at her! Her stunning dress had a beautiful lacy train and lacy back with the most intricate detail. John looked nice and sharp too in his gray tux. I am being torn what my favorite part of the day was. It’s pretty close between their first look and John’s reaction when he saw his bride for the first time and Jenna’s mom’s reaction to father-daughter dance! It was so sweet to see a few tears coming down her cheek. I can only imagine has special it probably felt. If I ever have a daughter, I will totally make her dance with me too because I will probably be too jealous that I didn’t get an opportunity to have this special moment too haha! Their beautiful beach themed wedding was hosted by the amazing Lucien’s Manor. The wedding ceremony took place at the Chapel and wow, how pretty is that place! So much beautiful light and the chandeliers were just delightful! After the ceremony we were able to sneak out just a few more photos and basically every little corner of the properly is a new picture opportunity and there is SO much variety! I was totally in love!
And once it came time to the party, beautiful beach theme wedding decor greeted us in the ballroom. Jenna and John planned and designed everything themselves, I only have compliments!!! So fun! I totally felt like it was a little escape to the shore but also surrounded by the gorgeousness of bride and groom and bridal party! The speeches were hilarious! The dessert spread was the most impressive I have seen in a while! And the party was simply amazing! Everyone had fun and I seriously didn’t want to leave! What an incredible celebration it was!!! Check out just a few moments from their beautiful Lucien’s Manor wedding and say your ‘congrats’ in the comments!
