It rained all day on Carla + Steve’s wedding day, and it rained HARD. At first I was sad, because guys WE WERE AT A SCULPTURE GARDEN. But in the end it was actually better. We got to stay in one spot, enjoy it, and make the most of it. Plus we got to do some badass portraits later on.

I’ve never seen anyone so happy at a ketubah signing. THE BEST.

High fives are kind of the their thing.

Moms embracing post-wedding is something I will never tire of.

At the end of the night, the amazing wedding planner Sara Kate Events (seriously guys, she’s gold) asked Carla + Steve what they thought about doing a night shot and they were down! We went outside for 5 minutes and came back with these beauties. BOOM.
