I love when couples think outside the box and choose a fun and unique wedding venue for a truly one-of-a-kind event! Marie and Michael wanted their special day to be fun, casual, and unique — and what better way to do that then by hosting their wedding at an Aquarium?! Marie did an amazing job incorporating her nautical theme into her invites and props of the day! I absolutely loved the bright  blue wedding invitations as well as her waterfall cascading bouquet. 

One of my most favorite moments of the day was watching Marie and her brother have their first look before the ceremony. Cue the waterworks! I loved seeing their sweet sibling love!

The lovely couple had a traditional church ceremony, as the beautiful bride walked down the aisle, her future husband radiated pure happiness! The couple chose to incorporate their family  in the ceremony by having them share a prayer as they become husband and wife. It was a moment where you could truly FEEL the love everyone there had for Marie and Michael.

As the night continued we moved the party to the aquarium where guests were able to sit directly in the middle and admire the ocean’s most treasured creatures! It felt like pure magic!  It was such a special day to be a part of and I am so thankful that Marie and Michael chose me to capture it all. 

Marie and Michael: here’s to a lifetime of happiness and love to you both!! Congrats again!
