Krystel & Jeff

Whenever I think of Krystel and Jeff, I think of the time Krystel told me how she wished on her necklace for a sign as to whether or not Jeff was "The One." No sooner had she made her wish than Jeff walked up to her, reached around her neck, unclasped and removed her necklace, and handed it to her before turning and walking away without saying a word. At the time she told me the story, Krystel and I weren't sure what to make of it. Only later did we realize that that was the sign she had asked for--Jeff was indeed The One!

When Krystel told me she and Jeff were getting married, I knew instantly I had to be the one to do her photos; Krystel has a keen eye for detail and I knew that any event she planned would be filled with elegant touches that would make for great images.

Krystel had a very clear vision of what she wanted her wedding to be like. Soft purples and blues, lavendar buds, tea sets, finger sandwiches. She created an afternoon tea party wedding that turned out beautifully. I was lucky enough to get to capture the event, and below are my favorite images of the day.

Enjoy!
