I want you to envision a perfect summer day… you know when it’s not to hot or to cold, where the sun is shining, but there’s a light breeze. That, was Lucas and Erin’s wedding! We couldn’t have asked for anything better, and truth is I wish I could go back and relive their wedding day. Everything was SO good and not just because of the amazing location, or Erin’s breathtaking lace dress (just wait until you see the train!!) but because Erin and Lucas are hands down one of the sweetest and kindest couple you’ll ever meet, and working with them and all of their family and friends was such a joy.

In the midst of the craziness that morning, Erin took a few quiet moments to read a note that Lucas wrote for her. Erin chose to read the words out loud, and soon after tissues began passing around. Lucas wrote that in these next 70 years, he’ll never stop becoming the man that she deserves. It was such a genuine and raw moment! His words were so sweet, and I knew that they meant so much to Erin! Soon after, Erin stepped into one of the prettiest lace dresses I’ve ever seen. She looked like a real life barbie, but even prettier! Erin and Lucas shared a first look with each other before the ceremony, which brought even more happy tears! I’m so happy that they decided on a first look, because we were able to take all of the images before the ceremony around the Bay Harbor Yacht Club. It was absolutely amazing!

Listening to how highly Erin and Lucas were talked about during the toasts was something I’ll never forget. The tears definitely started flowing again! Erin’s dad described Erin as someone who always finds the good in everyone. It was such a testament to what a beautiful heart Erin has! Then you add in Lucas, who is so perfect for Erin, and you have one heck of an amazing couple. You guys, these two are the real deal!

Erin and Lucas, working with you two didn’t even feel like work! I truly just adore you two, and I can’t thank you enough for inviting me into your wedding day. You made me feel like family, and I’m honestly a little sad that our time together has come to an end! Enjoy these photos!!
