Andrew & Marnie

Marnie and Andrew were a wonderful couple to work with. The two of them decided on an outdoor wedding in Avalon, NJ - a beautiful shore community. With the natural beauty of the setting, I knew their wedding day would be very special indeed. Because the wedding was outdoors, the couple decided against a traditional candle ceremony. It was replaced by a wine blessing. Having once lived in the heart of California wine country, the couple used a wonderful Santa Barbara red - a wine representing an important stage in their relationship. Complete with an Irish Blessing, their ceremony was uniquely personal to them. By sharing the personal signifigance of each portion of the ceremony with their guests, Marnie and Andrew were able to share a bit of themselves and their love as well. It was a beautiful wedding.
