The idea behind the shoot is that the United States is a nation made up of people from all countries and all walks of life. Set at the historic Bayvue Estate, our theme was "Home is Where the Heart Is" and celebrated the diversity we enjoy on a daily basis, in light of the 4th of July. Our couple sat down with their growing family and some of their friends to a homestyle dinner with all of the favorites - fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, classic Coke bottles, and corn on the cob, to name a few.

It was a beautiful day in May when Michelle and Sven got to the Inn at Warner Hall in Gloucester, ready for a beautiful ceremony and an even more beautiful marriage. Michelle was nervous throughout the day - not at the prospect of marrying Sven, but about all the details that had to be done before that moment. Yet everything came together perfectly, and as she walked down the aisle to her future husband, Sven cried as he grew in anticipation for their many years together that were starting that day.
Sven's family is German, and as such, they are HILARIOUS. Everyone had a blast, from jokes about marrying 'American women' to dancing the night away. It was especially beautiful to see the love between the two families being united as one at the same time. They both spoke of their gratefulness to each other for raising such wonderful children, who have grown and found each other at the perfect time.
