The Bell Tower on 34th Wedding: Chelsea & Nate

Two weeks ago today, Chelsea Fisher became Chelsea Burns. And Nate Burns became the happiest man alive… When I met Chelsea a little over a year ago while working the same wedding (C is half of the Sunkissed & Made Up team!) I was (1) blinded by her ginormous rock, and (2) floored by how ridiculously beautiful she was. As I overheard her recount her engagement story, in that moment, I couldn’t have imagined standing where I stood this October 20th. Chelsea and Nate are more than clients. They’re friends. And I got to photograph them on THEE (that’s two intentional e’s, folks!) most wonderful day of their lives. What an incredible blessing this job is!

C&N – Oh, don’t even get me started… Your day was b-e-a-u-tiful. And so are you!! We were so happy to be a part of your wedding and document all of the love that surrounded you as you made your vows and started your new life together. So THANK YOU!! We hope you enjoy this little sneak peek of our very favorite images. :) XOXO!!

These two shots were actually taken at Chelsea’s bridal session a few months back. But now that she’s officially married? You bet I’mma show her off! Chels’s Maggie Sottero gown fit her PERFECTLY…

Chelsea and Nate made the best decision EVER and opted for a first look. I’m loving these two shots of Nate just prior. With his gorgeous bride in the background, anxiously awaiting my cue to sneak up on him. :)

Chels is one of those pretty-cryers. :)

Portrait time had my assistant Sarah pulling out all the stops. Thanks to her for a number of shots that follow!

Okay, ENOUGH with the nose-scrunchy cuteness you guys!

Many thanks to C&N’s super fab wedding party.

Have I mentioned the genius of Taylor DeClercq, Jen Moreno and Kendra Brian for their hair/makeup skills?

Ceremony time…

When those doors flew open, I literally started crying. I wish you could’ve heard the audible gasp. Pure magic.Vows. Rings. BAM. Married!!

Special thanks to Weddings in Bloom for the wonderful florals!

The first dance has to be one of my favorite things to shoot. :)

These girls know how to party, y’all.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Burns! And happy weekend. :)
