Mike and Emily held a private candlelit ceremony on New Year’s Eve and it was swoon worthy. I’m probably biased, because I love all wedding ceremonies, but there is something special about a candlelit ceremony.

















I love how different this bridal party photo is. Usually we get to take the bridal party photos during the day when the sun is up, but at Emily and Mike’s Villa Siena wedding we needed to do them after hours. I’m so please with how fun they are though!

Villa Siena Bride and Groom
I’ll be the first to admit that I love a good ‘first look’ moment. If you aren’t sure what the first look moment is, it’s when the bride and groom decided to see each other prior to the ceremony to take photos.

Mike, patiently waiting for Emily.
I love how thoughtful he looks here.
Mike had no idea what Emily’s wedding dress would look like, but from the look on his face, I think he likes it!


These two are high school sweethearts.


Just taking a minute together to soak it all in.
