There were many things that I observed and admired about Brian & Olivia’s wedding. The touches of lemon yellow and white throughout the day were so refreshing. As a daughter of a retired Marine, I teared up a little to see Brian in his dress blues. Also, Brian & Olivia’s connection is obvious and really special. The venue itself was enchanting… with many gardens, exotic flowers and even a little waterfall! Even with all of those wonderful touches, I think the thing I was most struck with was the wonderful heritage these two have and what a solid foundation they are walking into life with. Both of their families exude love, honesty, respect and loyalty. Olivia’s three sisters and Brian’s sister and two brothers all stood up with them. Both sets of parents have been married over 30 years. As I watched the father daughter dance with tears in my eyes as Olivia’s father hugged her, cried, and sang to her in turns I got a warm feeling in my soul. It made me wish for a daughter so that I could see my husband dance with her like that someday.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your truly wonderful day Olivia & Brian!
Olivia, you are beautiful!
The tying of the knot was a first for me… what a lovely tradition!

How rad is it that they cut the cake with Brian’s sword?!

Amanda - Hi, Kina,
I was one of the bride’s maids in Brian and Liv’s wedding. You had taken a couple of pictures of my boyfriend, Charlie, and me. Is there anyway I could get a look at those? The photos of the wedding turned out beautifully by the way! I peeked at some of your other stuff and I love your vision! You truly are talented, and the pictures you take often have a surreal glow to them that makes real life look almost like fantasy! Congrats on how accomplished you are in your art!
