Alia + Eric

What a whirlwind couple of weeks. It feels like we just celebrated July 4th and here it is the middle of July! I've been anxious to blog this wedding among other things, but, with my recent beach vacation - I'm still trying to dig myself out of vacay mode - not to mention, a pile of laundry covered in sand. ;)

Needless to say, It warms my heart to post the following images. Alia and Eric's wedding at Crest Pavilion was perfection! She shares a special bond with her sisters and it truly made me reflect on my relationship with my own sisters and the precious time we spent together just last week.

One of my absolute favorite moments was when Alia's father saw her for the first time all dressed and ready. It was tearful and memorable. The wedding itself was so fun and the weather so enjoyable it was difficult to get some to come inside to dance (which, I never see happen) - and what a sunset?!

As always, enjoy the sneak peek.
