With its exquisite stained glass windows and classic French Romanesque-style architecture, it is hands-down one of the most beautifully decorated churches in which I have worked. I think Kristen&#8217;s long and elegant lace train fit perfectly in such a location.<\/p>\n<p>Although the bride and groom married in a serene Catholic ceremony including Mass, the event also had many light-hearted and spirited moments thanks to the priest, Fr. Adam Ozimek. He delivered a wonderful sermon that was traditional yet buoyant, and his perceptive comments on love made the audience both laugh and reflect.<\/p>\n<p>I knew Kristen and Gregory had very close relationships with their families, so I made sure to capture the special moments they had with their parents throughout the day. One of my favorite shots from this wedding was of Kristen and her mother sharing a joyful look after Kristen put on her dress in the Georgian Terrace Hotel, where the couple took their wedding portraits and had their reception.<\/p>\n<p>Please enjoy some highlights from Kristen and Gregory&#8217;s special day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Wedding Coordinator: Katie Boteler, <a
