You knew it was a special day when the clouds opened up just in time for Jill and Josh to walk down the isle and say the words that would bind them in marriage for a lifetime.

We arrived with umbrellas and rain boots but thankfully, Charlie Shortino was wrong again. The clouds parted and joy could be seen on everyone’s faces. We didn’t have to spend the day indoors! Of course, The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond is one of those incredible venues where we could have and would have had just as good of a time! I got some great and fun shots of the ladies at the bar (which is where I would love to be right now) and afterwards, the entire lot.

Jill and Josh are super fun to photograph because they are constantly making each other laugh (and me too!). I could hear them saying “cheeeeeeeeeese” during many of the photos in voices that were low enough for only myself and them to hear. The wedding party was a was a super group with many family members and you could tell how close everyone was.

My takeaway from their wedding day is to always see the positive in life and surround yourself with those who love you the most. Congrats on your marriage you guys! I hope you are happier everyday.
