And his family. These guys are truly one of the most fantastic families I have ever met and I am absolutely thrilled to share our evening together! The gorgeous fall evening was simply splendid and couldn’t have been any better.

“I wonder what the flowers smell AND taste like.” …Pondered Teo.

 

Looking sharp, Teo!

Love!

Okay, okay. I just have to say it. These next ones are SO cute.

Love the eyebrow raise!

These next few make me smile so much.

A good lookin’ family!

If you loved part one you are guaranteed to love part two! There is so much more right around the corner. Join us right back here tomorrow for the second half of their beautiful session!

Classic.

Much too soon it was already time to head inside and continue the night.

The first dances began.  So sweet!

Aww.

The dancing began!

Bob and Alyssa: You two are lovely. I so enjoyed seeing how filled with joy throughout the entire day you both were, and also how deep your love for each other is. It was so fabulous to join you two for one of the biggest days in your lives and I am so insanely excited for you both to enjoy life together!

You will fall in love with every detail… not to mention their super emotional (and beautiful) first look!

We started the morning out at the Dolce Day Spa.

Meanwhile, the guys were suiting up.

Great shoes!

Definitely a total favorite!

It was almost time for the first look.

It was finally time for one of the biggest moments in their day. The first look was absolutely beautiful. Get your tissues ready because this one is a tearjerker!

During their first look, they read their vows to each other. It was so sweet… and I even started to tear up a bit.

LOVE these ones!

Fav!

Oh my goodness, could they get any cuter?

We headed back for some photos with the rest of the bridal party.

Lookin’ sharp, guys!

As always, we’ve only just begun! There is SO MUCH more to come. Join us right back here tomorrow for part two of Bob and Alyssa’s fab wedding!
