Kelli + Shane // Waverly, NY // Wedding Photographer

Kelli & Shane chose to get married on New Years Eve, not because it was a holiday, or because they wanted to host a grand party – but because they wanted their closest friends and family present with them. And if there was one thing that was overwhelmingly displayed at their wedding – it was that their family was the most important thing in the whole world. Of course, all of the details and the little things that personalize a wedding were present – but the love and value of family was the most overpowering detail of their wedding day.

From their ceremony when they said vows not only to each other but to their children, to the dancing and the countdown to the new year – I have never witnessed a family come around a bride & groom as completely and lovingly as Kelli & Shane’s family did. It was the most beautiful accessory they could have asked for .

Kellie & Shane – I was incredibly honored to celebrate your wedding with you!! Ya’ll are so blessed to have such a wonderful family behind you to support you & love on you – ya’ll warmed my heart with the overpowering love that was present at your wedding. Best wishes! *hugs*

Kelli & Shane chose to do a first look & see each other before the ceremony. In doing so, we were able to accomplish all of the formal portraits before the ceremony allowing Kelli & Shane to truly enjoy their guests at the reception.

I love the look on the lil flower girl’s face!!

They danced the whole evening away – all the way up to midnight & 2014!
