Thomas & Castles: Arden Photography

This was surely not your average courthouse wedding!  Who knew a federal building could be so beautiful and have such amazing natural light!  Castles and Thomas were married last week in the presence of an intimate group of close friends and family.  This is the first ceremony for the couple and this summer, they will have a larger wedding in the Philippines.  After  Thomas & Castles exchanged vows, we took advantage of some of the downtown scenery for some amazing photos.  This is one of my favorite weddings this year and I'm so excited to share some photos!  We hope you love them and congratulations to Thomas and Castles!

 




A Family Affair: Arden Photography

It's always a pleasure photographing a wedding when you have personal connections to the couple.  Well, there isn't anything more personal than photographing the wedding day of one of your cousins!  What an amazing honor it was to shoot my cousin, Victoria's wedding.  The intimate ceremony took place in the presence of family at Windwood Equestrian.  Before the ceremony, we took advantage of our Equestrian surroundings by taking a few photos of Victoria with our beautiful white horses.  It was such an ethereal moment!  The bride, adorned with a  rose-filled flower crown was simply radiant as she exchanged vows with her husband Kingsley.  Congratulations Victoria and Kingsley!  May the rest of your lives be as magical as your wedding day!

Liza & Fred: Arden Photography

This may have been one of our favorite weddings of the summer. So filled with happiness and love was this couple. Upon their "first glance" meeting, Liza whispered to Fred, "I cannot wait to marry you." Classic touches graced this Windwood wedding with roses and satin, and a few unexpected details like personalized bug spray bottles for their guests. It turned into a real party after the ceremony as the band heated up, the lights flicked on, and the guests started grooving! Congratulations Liza and Fred!
