A little over 4 weeks ago, I spent an absolutely wonderful day with Adrienne and Rob, as they said 'I do' and became husband and wife. I've known Adrienne for a very long time – her younger sister Stefanie and I became good friends in the sixth grade. Adrienne was Stef's super cool older sister. She had the coolest green bedroom (I believe the paint technique was sponged – which at the time was a very new trend and eventually became the thing to do to your room. ALL of my friends had sponge painted rooms at some point). And what was even cooler than her green-sponged walls, was the aquarium with little lizards in it. I would always sneak in to check them out. Adrienne was in high school which seemed like a different planet to Stef and I, and she had her driver's license. She'd drive us around in their parents Volvo and would blast our favourite music while we all danced. Adrienne was creative and always helped us build amazing houses for our dolls and she would do our make-up. Stef adored her big sister, and so did I.
So I was thrilled to get an email from Stef one day telling me that Adrienne was engaged and asking if I would be there to photograph the wedding. Over the next few months, Adrienne and I wrote back and forth and I could quickly see that this was going to be a very special day. I'm a huge fan of small, intimate weddings and I absolutely love homemade details – and this was exactly what Adrienne and Rob were planning. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they said their vows as the sun set. They had made all of the centerpieces themselves, and Adrienne had sewn the prettiest hair pieces for all of the girls and boutonnieres for the guys – there were beautiful details everywhere.
Adrienne and Rob are perfect together. I had a feeling that Rob wasn't a huge fan of being in the spotlight and having his photo taken, but he stuck through it like a champ as Adrienne truly glowed. They were relaxed and clearly enjoying one another – clearly in love. And I loved being there to capture it.
Congratulations you two! xx
