Paul and Alyse are loved. They cast smiles and held hands as they married in a church of Alyse's hometown. It was evident as their parents toasted at their reception to the couples life together, in a room dripped with crystals and jewel tones. When the best man joked about Paul's haircut and the fact it has not changed in 20 years and 4,000 miles. The story of when the maid of honor, Stephanie, knew the groom was the guy for her Alyse. All this told every person, Paul and Alyse are loved in a big big way.

Meeting Alyse at Bridget and Brendan's wedding she is this wonderful mixed of spunk and beauty. When Stephanie told me Alyse was engaged to this great British Guy and preceded to ask if I reminder her, how could I not?  Alyse is like a porcelain doll, so beautiful and amazing eyes. I was quite excited when Alyse decided to have me photographer her wedding day. Curiosity was another thought, who is this fiance with a british accent with a tall order of kindness given by Stephanie. For their engagement session all curiosity was answered, Paul is a gentleman and then he talks like Colin Firth. I'm smitten.


Thanks you Paul and Alyse for having Travis and I photograph your wedding day. Seeing all your family and friends pour over you with love. The joy you two exhibit to everyone and especially one another is what makes our job awesome. Thank you thank you!!.
