I am so delighted to share that Abbey and Mike’s gorgeous wedding day was featured on one of my favorite wedding websites – The Black Tie Bride.  Take a look at their mission statement…

“We believe in grandparents wedding pictures in silver frames. To remind us that whatever it is, it always started with love. We believe in elegance and grace and good manners. We believe in history, and legacy, and leaving something behind. We believe in emotion and moments, and rich black & white images that tell a story. We believe that timeless always trumps trendy. And no matter what, there is no replacement for authenticity. Because more than anything what we believe is, classic never goes out of style.”

I wish I wrote this – it is so beautifully said and I could not agree more.  Which is exactly why I was so thrilled that Abbey and Mike’s wedding was featured!

Not only did I love the classic details of this wedding, I simply adored the hearts behind the celebration. Abbey and Mike are two of the most gracious souls you could ever meet and their day was the epitome of timeless, joyful, and authentic.
