swanky::chic::fete: wedding memories [first anniversary]

last year one of my best friends got married and it was such a memorable occasion as old friends came from out of town and get to spend some rare time together with our children and families. in a few weeks, this special couple will celebrate their first year anniversary and i thought it would be wonderful to go back and take a look at that beautiful day they got married.

it was an intimate small day wedding that i love. the wedding color motif was a gorgeous vivid crimson - a perfect rich fall hue that was reflected through the the bride's bouquet, maid of honor's dress, and accents for the flower girl's dress and wedding cake. the solemn ceremony left me teary-eyed and even much more during the reception when the bride's only brother gave his toast and speech. i am such a cry baby but i didn't really care knowing that they were tears of joy. sigh. enough of my emotional rants and on to the stunning wedding photos taken by the amazing ben of sassani photography. he truly captured all the beautiful moments of the wedding!
