August 8th of 2008 was an awesome day for us. We were fortunate enough to be booked by Erin and Jeremiah, who had contacted us just weeks before this wonderful day. I knew there was a good reason why we hadn't already booked that day yet and then these two wonderful people came along! 8.8.08 was unlike any other wedding, maybe because it wasn't actually a wedding, Erin and Jeremiah decided to go the untraditional way and exchange vows. They wanted 8.8.08 to remain special to them as it was the day that they committed and celebrated their love together with all of their closest family and friends.

My lovely and talented sister Nicole DeAnnewas the hair & make-up artist for Erin, of course I had to grab a quick shot of us before she finished up!

I thought Erin looked stunning and Jeremiah was nothing short of handsome!

Since the event was a party, Erin let her boys plan part of the night just for the other kid-friends. The details included character drawings, air brush body art, blow-up balloons, and a photo booth! I loved that this party was kid friendly!

With the help of Lisa Kennedy from Landmark Events,the decor, day, and details were uber fabulous! P.S. Erin put together all of the table-top arrangements herself, I thought it was one of the best displays I had ever seen!

As their guests dined, Erin, Jeremiah, and the two boys escaped down to the beach to exchange a few words about family and commitment.

After vows and rings were exchanged the guests were invited to join E & J on the beach for a toast.

At the end of the toast the guests were then invited to grab a handful of rose petals and throw  them into the ocean as they made a wishful hope for the future.

First comment. Woo Hoo. I LOVE this wedding, if I had it to do over again that is so how I would do it. On the beach, just me and my hubby, guests afterwards. So nice. Love the details and the pics of the kids throwing flowers into the water.

Hi guys! I'm a children photographer from Brazil! Just found out your work and I LOVE it! Love the yellowish vintage look you have on your images. any tips or actions you use? I notice it's the same look the the guys from the image is found get. Love it too! is that the red leaf actions? anyway, I'm sure you won't tell us what you do but it doesn't hurt to ask right? ;-)

Hi, this is probably a long shot but I am getting married in August so I’ve obviously been planning quite a bit lately looking online for ideas for my wedding... we are young, in love, and doing our wedding on our own. while looking I came across this beautiful wedding and fell in love with the dress that she wore that has the sequins at the top and the bottom. I have tried searching EVERYWHERE I could think of and have came up empty handed. Do you know of anyway that I could contact the bride and maybe find out where she got it even though it seems that she is so awesome that she got it custom made or spent mega dollars on it : ) thanks… keeping fingers crossed
