Chris + Chris' Marlton, New Jersey wedding was filled with colorfully candid moments. Their beautiful story is about a thrill-seeker and a chill-seeker perfectly paired in a joint leap of faith for a first-rate landing in love.

On the morning of these cherished friends' wedding, their words of advice echoed: "be kind always, even when we're angry", "don't say something just to be hurtful because those words can never be unsaid", and "always appreciate what we do for each other because when we feel appreciated, we will continue to grow."

With a suburban split-level full of cheerful relatives, a garden decorated with Punny Pallet Signs and a slow-setting sun still high in the sky, the ceremony and reception site simply felt like home. Guests were welcomed with open arms and creative touches adorned every nook of the property as two women readied themselves for their new life together.

The brides – and their entourage of family and friends – were open to the artistic visions that were floated their way with echoes of laughter rising into the ether. Intensity of the momentous day lifted like the steam burning off of the surrounding flora from the morning's summer storm. Worries dissipated into peaceful, wedded bliss.

A HUGE and heartfelt thank you to Chris + Chris for choosing me to document your special day – it was humbling and a privilege to be entrusted to capture and witness your love and the love of your family and friends.
