This weekend photographing Sophia & Chris’s fun-filled wedding day was such an awesome adventure! How to even begin sharing all of the love that characterized them as a couple? Their vibrant wedding colors were just as their spunky and fun-loving as their personalities. : )

There were so many precious moments from this special day, but here are Cassie’s top three:

1. A Sentimental Gift from Family
Before Sophia even got into her dress, there was a beautiful, heartfelt moment shared between her, her mom Sibylla, and her sister Grace. They presented Sophia with a special gift that included a family heirloom ring for her to wear on her wedding day—a symbol of love and tradition passed down through the generations. In return, Sophia gave them both letters to read later, adding an even more emotional layer to this intimate moment.

2. Champagne Pop with the Bridesmaids
Sophia and her bridesmaids started the day with a bang—literally! Sophia rocked the perfect champagne pop in the morning, and it was such a fun, joyful moment. The spray was amazing, and her excitement was contagious as she and her girls celebrated the start of her big day with laughter and bubbly. It was the perfect way to kick off the celebrations!

3. Magical First Dance with Sparklers and Fog 
Sophia and Chris’s first dance was nothing short of magical! DJ JBlendz from Nicky Avalo Studios kept the energy high all night, but the couple’s choreographed first dance stole the show. With cold sparklers and fog setting the stage, they started their dance to a slow song, then surprised everyone by finishing with an upbeat number. They had so much fun, and it was such a sweet, unforgettable moment that set the tone for an amazing night of celebration.
