Annie + Kevin = Married

Annie and Kevin are so perfect together. When she is nervous, he is calm. When he is silly she is grounded. The best part about them though, is that when he laughs, she laughs. If there is one piece of marriage advice that we hear wedding after wedding from those who are toasting the happy couple, it's not to take life too seriously and have fun together. Annie and Kevin have this figured out. They have an infectious love that draws others in. People smile when they see Annie and Kevin together - what is more beautiful than that? We, for one didn't stop smiling throughout their entire wedding day. It was a 100% chance of rain all day long, but every time we went outside with them, it wasn't raining.  We'll never know if it actually rained that day because even though things were wet, there was no rain. Because it was so foggy, I like to think that God sent a giant cloud to follow Annie and Kevin around so they wouldn't have to have rain on their wedding day. One of our favorite photos from their wedding was right before their ceremony. They decided that they did not want to see each other before the ceremony, but they wanted to hold hands in between a wall right outside of the church. We found just the right spot for the two of them to hold hands for a moment before we turned Kevin around and led Annie back to her girls and her father who was waiting to walk her down the aisle. The look on Kevin's face when he saw his beautiful bride walking down the aisle was priceless, and we loved how they kept stealing glances (and winking!) at one another throughout the ceremony. After the ceremony we whisked off to the Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm in Peabody Mass for their adorable reception. We were in heaven shooting with such a thick fog and lush grass in the apple orchards, and we even found a field with seeded dandelions (you know, the ones you blow and make a wish on?) which we thought was fitting since Annie has had a special place in her heart for dandelions since her childhood. The night continued on with a hopping dance floor and some non-stop photo booth action (more about that next week). Annie and Kevin, you two are so deserving of one another. We're so happy for you!
