Last Saturday evening, the Sorrento Hotel was a beautiful setting for Amy & Derek’s equally beautiful wedding. I met Amy, her sister Katie and Amy’s sweet daughter Haley in their room late in the afternoon. Hair and makeup was done before they got to the hotel, so there was time for a fun champagne toast before the ladies got dressed. I was blessed with the awesome assistance of Jen Wade who went down to focus on details while I hung out with the ladies. Amy’s dress was so beautiful and I loved the other dresses she chose for Katie and Haley - very classy. Derek and Amy didn’t see each other until Amy walked down the aisle, but he was so sweet to send Amy an ‘I love you’ text while she was getting ready. After taking some individual family portraits, the ceremony began. Annemarie, their officiant, was so GREAT - she was so relaxed and warm. Amy and Derek presented Haley with a beautiful necklace which was really touching (not a dry eye in the house during that one!) After the ceremony, the new family and I headed downstairs for some portraits while the cocktail hour got underway. Dinner smelled yummy and the cake tasted great! I have really enjoyed getting to know this couple and can’t wait to hear how the honeymoon went!
