It was going to rain, they said.

“Bring all your clear umbrella” they requested.

We may have to move the ceremony inside” they warned…

2pm came and went, no rain.

4pm, no rain.

8pm, no rain…

It didn’t rain until the last hour of the reception!

And even more amazing, is that the sun came out for the ceremony! Valentina and Matt got their beautiful June wedding and it was nothing short of magical!

Let me just say, no one does a first look like Valentina and Matt. As Matt waited for Valentina, I couldn’t help but smile, his stance, his expression and his eyes said it all. He could not wait to marry Valentina!

As Valentina walked towards him, her smile grew bigger and bigger, She not only glowed, but it looked like she was floating towards him as if there was no where else she belonged besides by Matt’s side.

The second Matt turned around and their eyes met, you could feel their connection, see the love and cherish the excitement that just flowed between them. And if I am being totally honest with you, at this point, I was balling! I couldn’t keep it together. Their love for one another is so powerful, so beautiful that being a part of such a special moment, touched my heart in a way words cannot even begin to describe!

Don’t even get me started on their wedding vows. My heart, along with everyone else there, just melted. Valentina and Matt love each other with all of the hearts and soul and it is truly inspiring!

The Ringwood Manor looked absolutely beautiful thanks to the genius of Marquis florals by Kim and Jennifer Tolento of Jennifer Tolento Events. The floral chandelier alone was a thing of beauty. Pair that with the rest of the gorgeous decor and the incredible castle, you couldn’t have asked for a more stunning wedding. Every detail was perfectly executed. It was a photographers dream!

Valentina, Matt, thank you for giving me this honor! My wish for you is that the rain holds off, the sun always comes out and you never stop looking at each other the way you looked at one another during your wedding vows!

Mazels!!

Heres to 120 + years of happiness and health!
