Nicole & Michael got married this past weekend and it was such a fun way to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary! The day was full of joy, laughter and… a little bit of unexpected rain.
However, before we jump into this sneak peek, the Top Five Moments/Things from Nicole & Michael’s Wedding. A Wedding Wednesday tradition. 🙂
#5. The weather. While it was unexpected to have rain on their day, it all worked out! We arrived at the park, umbrellas in hand and ended up not really needing them! The tree cover was just enough for the light mist and we were able to get stunning photos of these two. THANK YOU Nicole & Michael for trusting us and being game. 😀
#4. Dreamy veil photos. I mean… they’re just my favorite. Every. Single. Time. I think you’ll see what I mean. 😉
#3. The fun patio shots were were able to sneak in! Metropolis is a stunning venue, their outdoor patio, no exception. I’m so glad we were able to use it for a few shots before cocktail hour!
#2. The Mother-Son dance. There was so much emotion throughout the day, but this was truly sweet. While it started with just Michael & his Mom, by the time the song ended, a few other family members had jumped up to support and dance with them. 🙂
#1. The custom WWE belt Michael was given! Kind of silly, but such a fun gift customized with the dates Nicole & Michael met, got married and renewed their vows. It. Was. Perfect. 🙂
