Lauren asked for a “vintage artsy” type of portrait – so I made one out of this un-posed kiss from their first dance. I love how it looks like an old postcard or painting!" – Nicole Weinmann

"Nicholas had been out of the country in medical school for most the months leading up to the wedding. When they saw each other for the first time on wedding day, their faces were just glowing. This location in the church really highlighted that and I love the shot for that reason."

"It’s always a great idea to use things that are important to you in your photos to make them truly unique. In this case, Kristen had a close relationship with this horse. With an open mind she was willing to climb up and lay on his back in her wedding gown. I think it paid off in an unforgettable piece of art and an experience that she will never forget."
