Victoria and Mike

I first worked with Victoria and Mike at a lovely little orchard where they frequent annually called Lyman Orchards. They were such a sweet and fun couple, up for anything. We went all over the property, they split a delicious apple crisp ice cream sundae and were absolutely adorable through the whole thing! Needless to say, I knew their wedding was going to be just as fun as that day!

Their dreamy, intimate garden wedding at Old Avon Farms Hotel was picturesque and breathtaking. Every detail from the ceremony to the greenhouse where they had their dinner was something out of a bridal magazine. Surrounded by their closest family and friends only, it allowed for them to mingle personally with each and every guest and allowed plenty of time for legendary photos! The pure love and friendship Tori and Mike have shines in so many of the photos - so much laughter and silliness. The way love should be!

I LOVED spending time with them, their friends and family. It was the perfect day for this perfectly awesome couple!

Congratulations to this gorgeous, fun, silly and outgoing husband and wife! I cannot wait to see you again T

Cheers and all my love!
