We’ve had such a wonderful time getting to know these two very special people over the past year.
Xi and Wesley are two amazing best friends with plenty of achievements they could boast about.
But they don’t.
Xi’s character is just as lovely as her gorgeous face. Wesley is quiet and humble.
We joined them on a day when one of the many snows of this past winter was melting. Their whole wedding was just perfect.
The melting snow caused us to be creative as to where we took their portraits, but we found a quiet spot on a path near Rockwood Manor where the light was just perfect.
Wesley had flown in just the day before from Texas – like us, they know the struggles of long distance relationships but have overcome them.
We were so honored to celebrate their wedding with them and can hardly wait to see all the things they will achieve together in their very bright future.
We hope you love reliving their wedding as much as we did! Be sure to leave some love for the newlyweds in the comment box below.
xoxo Michael and Carina
