Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez | Ocean Lodge

These two!  The love they have for each other and their children is contagious.  Their story could make the most cynical among us believe in happy endings, even if your book has its share of tough chapters.  Their day was as beautiful as their smiles and it was an honor to document these two become a family of five.  Joy was everywhere you looked, their amazing families were thrilled to celebrate this union.  They exchanged vows and rings, not only with each other, but with their children also.  I have the privilege of a very unique perspective spending the day behind the lens, and that made me fall even more in the love with this sweet couple.  On our way to the beach for family photos right after the ceremony, Allison was walking slowly and Adam stopped the whole group to ask her if she wanted to take her shoes off, and if they were hurting her feet.  So in that moment, in a parking garage, with their children playing on the lawn, I snapped maybe my favorite pic of the day.  It typically wouldn't make the final edit in a wedding, but I just could never bring myself to delete it.  It perfectly defined that moment, that day... there was a husband, who so treasured his wife that he wanted to make sure she was comfortable and there was a wife, who was overjoyed that she had a husband who noticed that those beautiful shoes must be uncomfortable.  Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez.  Here's to life, love, laughter and lemonade!
