Something about Veronica takes my breath away. She is fiercely gorgeous, and so comfortable in her skin that her friends and family stand in awe. I heard it all night – her best friend from South Beach, Mia, said it best- she’s the most beautiful thing alive. And the way that her man looks at her . . . well,  I’ll just say that Bryant and Veronica have that intense connection that I don’t see every day.

Their Tremont Grand Wedding was a celebration. A throw down. A party that Baltimore does not see every day. My very favorite, Brandon Casey, orchestrated the entire day so that it played like a movie- no lie. Start to finish, it was like the wedding of your dreams, fully realized.

The first glimpse of the red sole made my heart beat a little faster . . . girl knows style.

Does she ever know style. And with Neilla Elrod, a NARS artist doing the makeup and a gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown to boot . . . well, there was a collective gasp when the door opened and Veronica and her Father appeared to walk down the aisle. Floral design, by JJ Cummings floral was the proverbial icing on the cake.

I LOVEEEEE when my couples are game for the first look. That way, that first moment is theirs alone. I really do stand way back and let it organically unfold, and for Bryant, who is completely taken with Veronica . . . well, I could hear his heart beating out loud as she came to him . . . to give herself to him for all time. Talk about snapshots for eternity.

Did I mention that they have a little chemistry going on???

I did not even suggest to Veronica a pose or a thought . . . they’ve definitely got it goin on.

A convention of the beautiful people!

They are the real deal. Veronica and Bryant, you ROCK. You are so warm, so authentic, and your friends and family are in awe that such an intense love exists between you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for inviting me into your world. It’s a sweet world.

I’m a sucker for beautiful shoes. It’s secretly one of my most favorite parts of shooting a wedding . . . the kicks. And for me, they don’t even have to be Christian Louboutin’s to be beautiful . . . I just love em because they are a reflection of the bride that chooses them.

Just for kicks . . .

From my heart to yours. I am thankful. For friends, for family, for so many rich blessings. Have a grateful day.

p.s. I’m in my Uggs today, how bout you?
