It had always been the three of them: Dina, Carmelina, and Adriana. An incredible mom and her two beautiful daughters – able to conquer the world and anything that life threw their way. And even though their family felt complete, God knew that there was a handsome man named Skip who was waiting in the wings. A man who would grow to love Dina’s daughters as if they were his own. A man who realized what an incredible trio these three women were and who hoped to become a part of their family.
On Friday, I had the incredible honor and privilege of photographing Dina and Skip’s Wedding. On a beautiful hillside beneath the big blue sky, two best friends exchanged vows of love and commitment. There were so many moments that reminded me why I love being a wedding photographer. Especially Skip’s reaction as his gorgeous bride stood before him at the altar. His laughter, his tears… were the one of the most honest expressions of love that I have ever seen.
Congratulations Dina & Skip! Thank you for having me photograph this very special day in your lives!
