Thrisha + Donaldo — Endicott Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

Endicott Estate Wedding smiling bride and groom © Krista Photography - www.kristaphoto.com

If this Endicott Estate wedding wasn’t the definition of amazing then I don’t know what is. From the insanely fun bridal party, to the STUNNING bride, to the emotions and some of the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen this day was wonderful start to finish. The best part is, not only was this day gorgeous, and the details and timeline planned out perfectly, Thrisha and Donaldo eventually forgot all about it and just had FUN. SO much fun. They danced, they cried, they were perfectly themselves, just a little more dressed up than normal ;)

Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate. Laura was perfectly nervous, everyone was excited, the weather held off and just wait til you see Dayna’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…

Wayside Inn Wedding

Oh Melanie and Ian! What a wonderfully relaxed and love-filled wedding day you had. As you saw from their engagement, these two are not only absolutely adorable but they are straight up head over heels in love with each other! It was amazing to witness, and I was honored to hang out with them and their wonderfully supportive families all day at the Wayside Inn. Ian’s adoring family was obviously very proud of him and Melanie’s amazing French Canadian family was cracking me up all day! I’ll hang with them any time!

Krista shot Sarah & Dave’s engagement session in late Summer.
