{Teresa + Dustin @Postcard Inn}

Dustin wore khaki pants, tan vest, and a very cool tan fedora.  The boutienners were made of pearls, burlap and shells.  Teresa was simply stunning in her lace gown and starfish necklace.  Their dog Rocky, who is very special to them was even able to come with and be a part of getting ready and the reception.  He is so cute!  They did a "first touch", not first look:-)  Such a sweet and priceless moment.  They whispered I love you from each side of the "barn doors" where they were separated while holding hands on the side.  It was a sunny cool day on the beach for their ceremony, and when they were doing the unity sand and it was taking a while for the sand to go in the holder.  The pastor joked.."Good things take time and like love and marriage, don't happen over night!"  The reception was on the lawn of the post card inn.  They had a coca cola theme/beach theme.  The tables were adorned with old vintage coke bottles, fish nets, and starfish. They had a "coca cola toast" when the bridal party entered.  All the guests were given old fashioned glass coke bottles to toast the new Mr. and Mrs.  They danced under the trees with beautiful lanterns hanging above.  We were able to slip out for a few moments and take some photos of the couple in the groom's uncles old little hot rod truck, so cool!  As the evening went on, it was one of those nice evenings where it cools off and everyone gathered around the fire pit.  It reminded us of a camp out...everyone sitting around telling stories from the past and just enjoying their time together.  Such a fun and special couple! Congrats Dustin and Teresa!! xoxoxo

{Kerri + Franco @The Lange Farm}

Kerri and Franco got married under the big oak tree at the Lange Farm.  They wrote their own sweet and emotional vows they recited to each other.  Franco, his best man, and Kerri's brother are all Marines and wore their dress blues.  The Marine Flag was raised and flown high to honor them.  Franco's best man is a childhood friend who joined the marines with him.  His toast was amazing, he even wrote a poem for Franco and shared it during his speech.  Kerri's sister, also the maid of honor also toasted her sister and new brother in law.  It was elegant and classic with black linens with beautifiul red florals and lanterns.  Kerri's family is Irish and they got in a huge circle and sang a song of good cheer for the newlyweds!  Dancing, cake, photobooth, it was a blast!  Congrats Kerri and Franco!!
