There were big white puffy clouds in the sky on the day Kirsten and Chuck got married…..and the breeze was warm…..and the St. Patrick’s Day parade-goers were plentiful!

It was a wonderful day to get married at St. Mary of the Mount and it was a perfect evening to let that warm breeze blow in at Stage AE during their wedding reception!  Here are some of my favorite shots from the day…

Chuck and Kirsten opted for a “first look” on their wedding day, to make the most of their time with me.  Seeing each other beforehand of course isn’t required, but I love when it happens!
