Happy Thanksgiving week friends! I am so excited for Thursday to celebrate with family and friends, and wanted to kick off the festivities with this gorgeous GORGEOUS fall wedding! Ever since their engagement session this past spring, I have been looking forward to their wedding day! Nick and Francesco are two of THE kindest, most thoughtful people and make ONE amazing couple together! From the minutes I arrived at the house to begin shooting, Francesca greeted me with a big hug and asked if I had had lunch and offered to get me something. The bride!!! But I think that this just speaks volumes about who Nick and Francesca are as people…always looking out for others and making sure the people around them feel loved. I feel so blessed to have met these two and SO incredibly grateful for the opportunity to document their beautiful wedding day! 
 
From the mix and match bridesmaids dresses in soft pinks and blush tones to the 1952 Vintage Chevy getaway car for the bride and groom to the romantic hues of flowers cascading above and around the sweetheart table…this day was just absolutely stunning from start to finish! It was classic, romantic, woven together by streams of vintage details…which are just a few of my most favorite things!  
 
Nick and Francesca, I hope you so enjoy reliving your most beautiful day as you scroll through your images. I can’t thank you enough for the honor of documenting your gorgeous wedding day and love for each other! A special thanks and hug to Melicity Spring Photography for helping document this day with me!  
To add to the romance, Francesca wore this most gorgeous Marisa dress, complete with French lace and hand-sewn buttons down the back…Iove!
Loved the mix and match bridesmaids dresses!
Flower girl got to play ‘bride’ for a bit and was loving her Auntie and Grandma helping her get ready for the big day!
Fran got the festivities started with her girls by poppin’ open some bubbly…the best!!!
The most gorgeous bride….
Love letter from the groom…gets me every time!
Nearby, Nick was getting ready to see his bride….
One of my favorite parts of the ceremony….seeing Nick’s parents stand beside him as he watched his bride walk down the aisle…
Officially Mr. and Mrs.!!!
The beautiful bridal party!!!
Each guest got to ‘Pick a Pumpkin’ to bring home as a favor…how sweet is that?!?
Ahhhhh!!! This…THIS!!!! The head table was STUNNING!!!! Floral and design created by the talented Natalie Galasso. So SO gorgeous!
As guests dined and enjoyed dinner, Nick and Francesca snuck away for a few portraits at sunset….
Love!!!
As the sun set, the best man and maid of honor toasted the newlyweds bringing forth laughter and tears of happiness …
A perfect end to the First Dance!
I’ll end with this one…of all their family and friends dancing and celebrating together under the canopy of lights….
