Uplift Photography: paper cranes wedding

Wow, what a wedding! Samara and Brian definitely win the award for the 'most wedding effort exerted' :). After looking at the photos below, if I told you that this wedding occured just a few days after Hurricane Irene hit, would you believe me?! With half the wedding guests from out of town and plans for a tented backyard reception, the hurricane couldn't have come at a worse time. But, even after several days of no power, no water, an underwater flower farm and several fallen trees, - these guys pulled it off! With the help of some clutch vendors, a generator, lots of diy details and a super happy couple, the day was amazing - proof is below :).

Sami and Brian - thank you so much for the honor of shooting your big day. We had a blast and hope you had so much fun on your Italian adventure!

Love these!

You guys are going to love this wedding! Cindy and Rob did an amazing job of personalizing their day - from the beautiful ceremony down on the waterfront, to the custom card favors (Cindy is a graphic designer!), to the handmade jewelry for all the bridesmaids, reception decor, dress modifications...the list goes on and on. I don't think there was any part of this day that they didn't have their hands on...which is right up my alley :). This was one of the occasions where we didn't meet up before the wedding, so we were so excited to finally meet them and see all the plans come to life! After spending the day with them and seeing all their happiness and excitement, we couldn't have been happier to photograph their day!

Thanks for a great day guys and hope you enjoy some of my favorites! Love all the fun details!
