Oksana and Mark and two of the most fun and laid back people i have the pleasure of being able to work with so far.  I’ve been looking forward to shooting their big day since we first met earlier this year.  We had a great time on their engagement shoot……and I knew that their wedding was going to be awesome!  I have to say i think this is the first and last time i’ll ever be driven around by an RV on someones wedding day.  Haha!  I thought it was pretty spectacular!  Thank you guys for putting such a positive spin on the big day!

After showing up at the hotel to shoot Steph and her bridesmaides…..i knew immediately that it was going to be an awesome and crazy day.  The girls were well underway with getting ready for the big day….and the usual pre-wedding buzz was definitely in the air.
