Getting ready.

The anticipation and nerves. The sweet and silly moments between friends and the transformation that unfolds right in front of my lens…The first look. The smiles and the giggles. The bond between Holly & Colin glows and fills my heart as well as my camera card.The ceremony. We walk through the trees of Hoyt Arboretum, and up to the World Forestry Center. Laughter, tears, all the emotions. The kiss and the second kiss. The WHOOOOO! as they walk together, hand in hand, between family and friends.
A few quiet moments together before walking out to the party. The smiles haven’t stopped and the celebration has just begun.Dancing and more dancing followed by more dancing!
Colin and Holly,
Happy one month anniversary!! Your day was beautiful and full of so much love and laughter. Thank you for having me along to document it all. Wishing you all the best in the days, months, and years to come.
Keep chasing that light,
Vanessa-
