Kelly & Dan met (are you ready for this?) in the third grade at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Elementary School. If you want to see the most special romance portraits I’ve ever taken, scroll down to see photos of them in the classroom where they met! When they were in middle school, they also played Mary and Joseph in the Christmas play for church. I’m pretty sure that was God just having a sense of humor 🙂
They got ready just a mile away from each other in their childhood homes, and then wed in the church they grew up in together. Dan was able to play golf with his buddies in the backyard while they got ready…how fun is that? If you’re planning a wedding, don’t forget to plan something fun or relaxing in the morning. The whole day should feel like a celebration!
After their ceremony, they celebrated their reception at Ardenwood Historic Farms. It was the perfect setting for their fairytale of a wedding! They had the most meaningful toasts and the best dance floor!
Kelly and Dan, it was SUCH an honor to document your special day! Your love and connection is deep, long-lasting, and real. What an honor to tell that story! Wishing you a lifetime of laughter, love, and good dance moves! <3
