With the short novel I wrote about this dear couple for the rehearsal dinner post I’ll let the wedding day speak for itself. If you’re planning a wedding I encourage you to stay focused on what your day is truly about. Budget for photos and video as it will be all you have to look back on. This bride’s motto was KISS – keep it simple, sweetie!

The First Look… always one of my favorite events of the the day to capture. The couple can hug, touch, talk and express exactly how they’re feeling in the intimate circle of just the two of them. Once they walk down the aisle and stand before all their friends and family they can squeeze each others hand knowing the little secret they share of already stealing a tender little kiss.

I just love the look on Adrian’s face as he prepares for his vows.

After Erin and Adrian exchanged rings and a few quick hugs they included the children in the ceremony as well. They even gave the children rings as they we’re now a complete family circle. 

I think no matter what your age you can’t help but feel like a kid on the beach! As soon as we completed the sand ceremony there were bubbles everywhere!

I couldn’t keep my camera off these two sweethearts. Aren’t they so cute!

I think this is my favorite image from the beach. It melts my heart when a groom touches his new wife’s face for a sweet kiss.

Erin and Adrian had a circle theme that came about while planning their wedding. Coast d’Estes Beach Resort was the setting of a gorgeous intimate reception filled with love bubbles everywhere!

After an amazing meal it was time to sneak in a quick celebration of Grandma Marion’s birthday. This was definitely the wedding of the year for love, family and all things non-traditional.
