Mariel + Chris are Married!
It was a beautiful spring day, which was only fitting for a couple like Mariel + Chris. Their intimate ceremony took place in a quaint, little church that was built over 100 years ago. One of their friends played Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique" on the piano, another friend sang "Ave Maria", and Chris' cousin performed a Handel aria. It was moving and lovely. After the ceremony, it was off to the country club for the party, which was complete with an awesome live band! The night was filled with wonderful speeches and a TON of dancing. We had a blast documenting this wedding! Mariel + Chris - thank you so much for letting us share in your special day. Wishing you all the best!!
Mariel's sister and Chris' cousin presented a slideshow during the reception. It's always fun to see the bride + groom when they were younger, and hear about their lives and how they met. It was very sweet.
Gotta love the wheelbarrow :)
