Happy Wednesday friends! So beyond excited to be sharing this gorgeous wedding with you today! Jav + Alyssa are the sweetest couple! You may remember them from their fall engagement session with the red bike , and their Whitmore Mansion wedding was every bit just as gorgeous!  
 
Throughout the day, one thing that stood out to me was the love these two shared for eachother, and their friends and family. It is so apparent in everything they do, and evident in the heart-felt toasts and the warm hugs of congratulations throughout the day. But there was one moment in particular that stood out to me on this day when Jav saw his bride for the first time. He was overcome with emotions and it was so incredibly sweet to witness.  
 
From start to finish, their day was beautifully strewn together with the most thoughtful of details from photograph pendants remembering loved ones on the bride’s bouquet to the most gorgeous color palette of bridesmaid dresses to the couple’s first dance to “I Want to Grow Old with You” by Adam Sandler. Here are some of my favorites from their stunning Whitmore Mansion wedding…. 

The bride’s gorgeous details and DRESS!! Oh…Alyssa’s dress was dreamy!!!

An extra special thanks to Diane Angel Photography for helping me capture all the amazing details and moments of this day!

One of the prettiest getting ready rooms I’ve ever photographed in!

Another sweet moment when Alyssa’s grandmother was brought to the stage to dance with her new grandson. These moments remind me of how very sweet and precious life is. And also remind me why I love what I do…
