Can’t wait to see you guys later today! It’s going to be an amazing day for a wedding.
I had an instant connection with Merrill when I met her. I’m so glad she and Blayne chose me to photograph their wedding because we spent several afternoons laughing and having fun during their planning. I’ve said many times that Merrill has the most infectious smile that I know and Blayne is sweet and tons of fun. He also busted out the dance moves at the reception, which I always appreciate.
Merrill and Blayne opted for a first look since their ceremony was at night. As usual, it was a great choice and the whole wedding party had tons of fun playing out in the fields. The ceremony was softly lit, meaningful and beautiful. The reception that followed was a huge celebration and even a blown fuse only stopped the party for a few minutes. Merrill left the reception in her Grandmother’s vintage fur which was to die.
Thanks so much to Merrill and Blayne and their families for having me along for such a fun year. Best of everything to you both.
These are two of the most interesting and adventurous people I have met. They are also two people who are unbelievably loved by their friends and family and a true perfect match for each other. During the toasts at their reception, we heard about decades old friendships, their love of travel and how Aisling can sink a jump shot in the clutch. I also knew this wedding would be fun because Aisling’s family is Irish. Having married into an Irish family myself, I know they bring the party when they come to a wedding and this family did not disappoint. The White Ghost Shivers had to play an encore because this raucous group would not let them leave. Fun!
Chris and Aisling moved overseas right after their honeymoon in Turkey (I know!) and although I know they are homesick, I know they are going to have an exciting life together. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of such an amazing day!
