” I fall so hard inside the idea of you” – Dave Matthews Band
This quote not only was a part of their wedding song but sums up Marissa and Chris’s wedding day and their love for each other! I remember their engagement session like it was yesterday. They laughed, loved, and we’re their goofiest selves with each other! As I recall it was also an incredibly hot day then as it was on their wedding day but absolutely beautiful just the same!
The ladies were relaxing in their blush colored robes as they sipped mimosas with unicorn straws while the guys hung out and got ready with my second shooter Omar! As the 2 O’clock hour came closer and closer Marissa began pacing with anticipation to see her soon to be husband! The moment they saw each other they both lit up brighter than the hot sun!
They were surrounded by their closest friends and family as they celebrate becoming a family of 4, their two fur babies couldn’t make the trip but surely were not forgotten! These two express so much love for one another just by the way they looked at each other and with their genuine laughter and smiles throughout their day.
Their reception space was complete with blush, gold, and navy accents which just so happen to be some of my favorite colors so you can imagine my excitement when I walked into the room! Did I mention that their bouquets contained peonies?! YAASS!!
During sunset we snuck out to grab a few more portraits on the golf course next to the lake and pure magic happened! Marissa was born to twirl with her many layers of tulle on her dress and Chris rocked the GQ look!
Congratulation to the new Mr. & Mrs. DeFrance! Photographing this special day was a true blessing!
Don’t forget to leave a little love for them in the comments at the bottom!
