I was counting down the days until Chris and Jenna’s Wedding for months, especially after spending the afternoon with them at their Christmas Tree Farm Engagement Session in December! These sweethearts are two of the most selfless and giving people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with… Their hearts are so genuine, so overflowing with care + compassion, that they make everyone around them feel loved.
On Saturday, I had the incredible privilege of photographing Chris & Jenna’s wedding day. Tears were shed beneath two trees overlooking the water, as best friends pledged their love and commitment to one another. And as the newly married couple kissed, cheers rang out all around and the celebration was underway.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Martins! Wishing you an amazing honeymoon & lifetime together!
