I love when couples do the unexpected for each other. Karen and Jack wrote letters to each other (but they both didn’t know they would be receiving one from each other that day) and read them just minutes before their first look. These are just one of the many reasons why I love being a wedding photographer–I love witnessing these special moments of two individuals embarking on a new journey together.

The following photos are just a few of my favorites from their wedding day and civil ceremony at City Hall. Stay tuned for a two day celebration and a two series blog of Karen and Jack’s very sweet wedding.
