Maureen and Griffin live in California and all of our meetings were done via phone, so the first time I met Maureen was actually as she pulled up to the church! While I was a tad nervous about this ( I really like to connect with my couples to make sure I shoot the day the way THEY would ) she was very laid back in our phone calls and it really put me at ease that I would be able to show her day off in the best way for them. When she got to the church, I was very excited to see her, she was absolutely gorgeous and friendly and I knew we would get along great.
The ceremony was beautiful of course, and even though it began to get chilly during our photo time, they lighting was stunning. We drove all around the grounds of Our Lady of the Snows looking for the best trees, rocks, sun and views. It was a great time!
At the reception I was introduced to a new tradition where the bride and groom drink from the same maiden with two ups at each end. Whoever finishes their cup first wins. As you can see by the photos, Maureen won. There was also a slideshow of Maureen and Griffin and it was really neat to see how they grew up and then how their relationship blossomed to where it is now!! Thank you Maureen and Griffin for a beautiful day!
