"A Dream Come True!"
On Saturday, April 27th, Katie & Patrick tied the knot at Keswick Vineyards. For Katie's father, this was a dream come true. His only daughter was getting married and he couldn't have been happier for her and the life she was starting with Patrick. Right away I could see the special relationship Katie shared with her parents, especially her father. I'm sure most of you reading this are aware of "the first look" that a lot of couples choose to do now a days. Well, Katie decided not only did she want to do a first look with Patrick, but also with her father. For all of us lucky enough to watch; there wasn't a dry eye out there. Katie's father was beaming with joy at how beautiful his little girl looked. I've never had anyone do a father/daughter first look but I sure do recommend it. What a touching moment that I will never forget. Now, about the wedding. Details, details and more details! I was amazed at all the work that Katie and Patrick had done for their wedding. Guests definitely knew how much Katie & Patrick appreciated each one of them being there to celebrate with them by the personal note each one of them received as they got their seating cards. They also made it a point to celebrate other attendees that had birthdays that day like her Grandfather who was turning 90 years old. They even had a birthday cake with candles and had everyone sing happy birthday to him and her bridesmaid that also had a birthday that day. You will see with some of my photo's the little details that made this wedding so personal and special. I really like how during the ceremony they had their maid of honor and best man tie their hands together with a ribbon to signify "tying the knot". I could go on and on about so many special moments I got to witness with this wedding but I will stop for now. Please enjoy some of my photos below.
