A true celebration of love - that is all I can think of when I reflect back on Katie + Marcio’s intimate backyard wedding.

Love, family, togetherness.

Happy tears and belly laughs.

Married in the backyard of Katie’s colonial Connecticut home, their guests felt more like one giant family then anything else as everyone there was welcomed with huge hugs and open arms.

Katie + Marcio’s love for each other is one for the ages, it can be felt as well as seen. It is soft and tender while still playful and joyous, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was how their love extended beyond just the two of them. Katie + Marcio are two of the most heartfelt and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and everyone celebrating with them was encompassed in this love.

I felt completely honored to get to be a witness of this special love drenched day and felt even more honored that my mentor, Ashley Caroline, would ask me to shoot along her side for the wedding of her very best friend!
