Alaina and Rodrigo.......June 7th, 2009

I am off on my way to a much needed vacation. With three weddings this weekend all in a row, I would say it's much needed:) Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do! I wanted to post some photos from our Sunday wedding before we leave! I think three in a row is a first for us, and although it was a whirlwind of weddings, none were less important or less unique than each other. 

This past Sunday was absolutely beautiful and filled with calm, joy, and just plain fun! Alaina was breathtaking, beautiful, and so laid back about her day. Rodrigo and his boys made us feel like a part of his family. This ceremony was so charming, I still get chills just thinking about it. Rodrigo kept his eyes closed from the moment the last bridesmaid walked down, while he waited for his bride to stand next to him, he savored that moment before he opened them back up. It was precious, savoring joy and every moment. She surprised him with a song, and when she was done, he surprised her back with his own song. I had to try my best not to let the tears flow that had welled up in my own eyes. They spoke of getting old, appreciating the wrinkles of time, and when things were to get rough, as life goes, they would be strong for each other. 

There wasn't a dry eye in the room. These two were made for each other. The rest of the day played out, I felt honored to not only photograph their wedding, but to feel so apart of both of their families! Thank you Alaina and Rodrigo! You two are why I enjoy what I do! Happy viewing! I will be back in town next week......
