Phipps Conservatory Wedding . Erica & Joe

Erica & Joe’s Phipps Conservatory wedding was absolutely phenomenal. We had such an amazing time! Erica & I met and connected right away. As we chatted about the wedding the months flew by I could not wait for their big day to arrive!!

Erica’s blush-colored Casablanca gown was incredible!!

I caught Erica’s sister practicing her toast for the evening.

Erica’s mom went over to give her daughter a last check to make sure everything was perfect before she walked down the aisle.

Her mom was just the cutest thing!Erica belongs on the pages of a bridal magazine. Talk about stunning.

We often get asked, “Why do you photograph weddings?” We do it for the moments below. The legacy the photos leave behind. To take someone back in time via a photograph to the exact moment it was taken. Providing the memories people will cherish even after death parts them is the greatest feeling for us. That is why we are wedding photographers.

The Hora dance was so much fun!! (One of our favorite parts of the night.)The Bachelor Boys Band kept the party going late into the night!
