Thank you so very much to Candice Hyder from Couture House of Imagery for shooting this gorgeous wedding with me!
Interview with the wonderful Tara + Michele:
HOW DID YOU MEET? We met at work 6 years ago.
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU THE MOST TO YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE?
Tara: His sarcasm and dry sense of humor.
Michele: Her smile and laugh.
HOW DID HE PROPOSE? He hid the ring in my stocking and had me open it on Christmas Eve.
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR VISION FOR YOUR WEDDING? Nostalgia. The smell of fall always brings back fond memories of our lives. I wanted that to be portrayed at our wedding. The smell of fall from now on will always remind us of the greatest day of our lives.
TELL US ABOUT FINDING YOUR VENUE: Venue was easy to find. The Brownstone has been a place I have wanted to have my wedding at for years.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST PLANNING CHALLENGE? The guest list.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT OF YOUR WEDDING? The entire design of the wedding was stunning so we have narrowed it down to 3. Our aisle runner, place settings, and guest book.
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF YOUR WEDDING DAY? Seeing each other for the first time!
DESCRIBE YOUR CAKE: Autumn sweetness! Apple spice cake with a cream cheese frosting.
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER? Wonderful. So wonderful that on our honeymoon Michael felt that a picture is almost not worth taking when Sara, Jason, or Candace are not there to take it.. we tried our best anyway… ☺
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND AS A COUPLE? Starting a family.
