It was my first time doing a three-hour drive for a wedding, and it was raining so hard the morning of Eva and Bryan’s wedding. I was dearly hoping it would stop. As soon as I arrived at the location, the rain miraculously let up. Yay!

Eva’s adorable daughter, Jilian, was showing me how to twirl. So cute!

Oh, I love this one! Something about it that’s “je ne sais quoi.”

When Eva was walking down the aisle, the look on Bryan’s face was priceless – it seemed like the whole world just faded away and there was no one else there but the two of them.

And how even lovelier it was that they were all surrounded by good friends who celebrated their big day.

Pelicans came out to celebrate with them, flying low above the water, adding character to the already magnificent backdrop.

When Eva told me about their love story, I could see that she was really head over heels about Bryan – he’s romantic and thoughtful and everything Eva wanted and was looking for. Even his ways of wooing her were adorable – leaving little love notes, surprising her with gifts – I thought it was all extraordinary.

I took the following two images with my trusted iPhone in Eva’s office: The potato plant reminds her where she’s from, the aromatic scented oil is where she escapes to, and a set of oil paintings from an artist who she admires.  Those are just a few samplings of Bryan’s thoughtful and romantic gestures.
