I hope you’re all sitting down because this wedding will knock you off your feet! I’m honestly at a loss of words! This wedding was something that I would style and shoot for fun…so the fact that it was a real wedding day, I was in all my glory!!! Not only were the details spectacular, but also the musical artistry, and just the presence of so many talented, creative people made my heart sing! This wedding…so special, so unique… I am beyond excited to share it! Even though the forecast called for 100% rain, I had high hopes that there would a bright spot of sunshine at one point in the day…and it happened! But rewinding to the morning, the rain just let loose… I met up with the girls as they were getting all dolled up and ready to go.  The weather didn’t seem to bother them and they carried on with smiles from ear to ear.  This family is super special because I’ve known Stefanie’s parents for a few years now…. You see we sing together at St. Pius in Loudonville! It was such a treat to meet the entire family…and boy are they one group of talented individuals!!  After beautiful bride Stefanie got in her gown, we headed outside to the covered porch and got some bridal portraits…I just love them! Once we arrived at the venue, a five piece Mariachi band was playing …Holy Heaven! As Stefanie walked down the aisle, it was easy to forget that it was raining. There was so much love in that room-not only between Stefanie and Erik, but between the family and friends. Once the ceremony concluded it was time for photos! Boy did I have a blast with these two!! The location was truly magnificent! After we finished up with formals, it was time to get the party started. Stefanie and Erik each introduced their families and bridal party members in to the reception…what a nice idea! Shortly after introductions was the speeches… wow! Stefanie’s siblings prepared an original song led by her Emmy-winning sister, Gloria.  The voices that came out of these three…. Amazing!! They should be traveling the world as a Trio! Remember that glimpse of sunshine I was talking about earlier…well, after the speeches the sun appeared! We snuck out for a few more photos while folk band, Hartsville Park, set up to play for the remainder of the evening. They, too, were over the top talented!!  From start to finish they day was one I will always remember… Stefanie and Erik, thank you so much for inviting me into your world for a day…it was truly magical! May the years ahead be met with great happiness, joy, laughter and of course, love. Congratulations!!! Enjoy some of my favorite photos from the day…and of course leave a little love for the bride and groom in a comment form below.

XOXO,
Tiffany
