an incredible day with another incredible couple. Della and Dino’s day was planned with the help from the amazing Terra Law with Inspired Occasions and it showed. beautiful details, a wonderful location and what seemed to be a favorite of many guests, a candy bar. thanks to both of you for allowing me to capture and witness your beginning and i wish you much love and happiness going forward.
