Steph & Aaron inspiration to reality.... Hydrangeas in the summer!

It is still the middle of the winter & I am longing for the sunshine of summer.  SOoooo, I am looking back at the amazing weddings we did this past summer for inspiration & maybe even some vitamin D.  Steph & Aaron are such amazing people! Steph is a teacher for children with special needs, while Aaron is a fireman who volunteers for autism charities.  Honestly, I am not making it up, they are really this beautiful & generous.  I was blown away by their love for each other & their community.  They choose to get married at Steph's family estate in Blue Hill, Ingleside, were her parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts & cousins were married as well.  The house was spectacular & the view was sensational.  In fact, Aaron proposed to Steph on the side porch & that is were they saw each other for the first time before the ceremony.

The morning of the wedding before she got her hair & make up done the family had breakfast on the front porch,  then Steph and her Dad went fishing out in the ocean.   To see Steph & Aaron's blog about their inspiration.... click here.

SO here is the reality, it was truly an amazing day.....
