Ali and Shawn are near and dear to my heart, Ali is also a fantastic photographer so I was extremely honored when she asked me to shoot their wedding! Shawn lost his father months before the wedding, so when I showed up to the venue there was no coincidence that his dad was looking over them in the form of a beautiful blue butterfly sitting on the memorial table. 

The couple did a first touch and letter reading which brought about all the tears and giggles! During family photos Shawn’s mother asked him to wear his father‘s ring which was an emotional moment for everyone. The weather was amazing, and so was the ice cream served at the reception! Dancing and a sparkler send off ended the perfect night!
