Happy New Years Eve everyone!!
Before we start the new year, how about a little more Christmas wedding inspiration?! Kristin and Ian’s Royal Sonesta Harbor Court wedding from earlier this month was the perfect combo of fun and classy…kind of like Kristin and Ian themselves. Ian is high-energy always thinking positive, which rubs off on Kristin and helps her find the fun in everything. Kristin is the more calm and laid-back “let’s bring it down to Earth” half of the relationship, which helps keep Ian focused and grounded. I love being able to see traits like that in the couples I work with despite only being around them for a limited amount of time.
Their gorgeous wedding was full of Christmas inspiration. From the amazing red of the bridesmaids dresses, to the red berries and silver accents in Kristin’s bouquet, the cute Christmas ornaments that served as both place cards and favors, to the beautifully lit wreaths that adorned the windows of their reception space…..it reminded me of how much I love winter weddings. I seem to always forget that every year and then winter rolls around and I fall in love all over again. Weddings where the bride wears a fur and we’re not sweating our butts off doing photos outside (even though this particular day was one of the rare December days that was actually cold…it’s a trade-off) is a winner in my book.
Kristin and Ian, I have had so much fun hanging out with you guys……..from when we first met to your super windy engagement session and then your gorgeous wedding day…….thank you for honor and privilege of going through those adventures with you!! Don’t judge me on how this photo is not the best technically, but when you come across a car with a shout out to perhaps the best Christmas movie ever, you do what you gotta do. Ian was surprised with the softball championship trophy. I love surprises at receptions 🙂The professionals that made this day possible:
