Tina & Joey - Belmont Country Club

Ceremony and Reception: Belmont Country Club
Hair and make-up: Premiere Makeup
Flowers: Holly Chapple
Band: Andy Kushner Entertainment

I don't think I'll ever forget the first time I met with Tina and her mom to discuss Tina's wedding. Tina has this laugh that is absolutely infectious and we had such a great time that I didn't even remember to pull out my albums and talk photography for quite a while. It was like meeting family and I have been looking forward to Tina and Joey's wedding ever since. With the exception of the rainy October day that forced their outdoor ceremony indoors, I feel very certain saying that their day lived up to everyone's expectations and more! We started out at Lansdowne Resort where the ladies were getting ready before heading over to Belmont Country Club. I'm thrilled to say that the rain let up just enough for us to fit in some outdoor portraits before the reception began. Tina and Joey are so much fun to be around, the smiles and laughter continued well into the night. Thank you both for a ridiculously good time!

Sadly, Joey's father passed recently. Tina had his photo in a locket pinned to her bouquet.


I love the excited expression on Tina's face and the bittersweet smile on her dad's as they reach the front.

This is literally the frame that I took a split second before their kiss. See what I mean about the laughter all day?


Joey's grin was huge as they walked back down the aisle!





Stoppin' in the name of love. That's right, I said it.



Tina is watching her dad give his toast, but Joey's eyes are totally on her. So sweet!



Oh yeah.
