Shira & Loren – a Growing Tree of Love

There’s so much a person can learn by watching Shira and Loren interact.  You learn how their love is genuine, how their kindness to each other is comfort, and most importantly how they complete each other.

Their August 1, 2009 wedding reflected all  those characteristics, and shared a common theme – family.  Their family tree was a well incorporated element to their event.  We saw the tree in the invitation, the program, the guest book, and elsewhere.  It was a constant reminder that when two are married, the families combine and grow out of love.  We’re not always fortunate to have that around us, but when you do as Shira and Loren, celebrate and embrace.

I’ll let the pictures say a 1,000 words, but wanted to just mention a very special vendor that made it all happen.  It was the first time I was working with a Wedding Designer, and I have to say – I’m pretty spoiled now having worked with Kimberly Canale from Inspired Goodness.  I hope any and every wedding designer I work with will be her.  She’s amazingly talented, super sweet, and really an absolute pleasure to work with.  She took what Shira and Loren wanted and made it magic…and simply put, really really beautiful.
