Mary and Michael’s wedding was both timeless and unique. My favorite part of the day was when Mary’s dad drove her down the path from the Mansion in an old truck that he has personally, lovingly restored. What an amazing vintage touch.

Their family and friends absolutely showed up to make this day special. These two are so loved, and so very in love.
