This fall has been so good to me honestly, and Erica and Thomas' classy hotel wedding was a dream to photograph. If you remember this couple from last year's sunrise engagement shoot then you can see how easy they are to capture. As soon as I walked into the Governor's Room I was greeted by giddy bridesmaids and a fervor of activity, but Erica was calm and cool and their were details all lined up for me to start photographing. With the mid-November day, daylight is limited but Kris at Unkaged Events made sure everything was running smoothly. The Delamar is such a classy location and the staircase was pretty grand for their sweet first look along with some other nooks in the lobby for portraits - including the elevator!

The wind made for some perfect veil toss photos and the bright and bold terracotta color scheme is now my ultimate favorite for fall. I knew Erica and Tommy were my people because while the bridesmaids were cold, Erica was thriving and said 'This weather is exactly what I wanted!' Their epic first dance really kicked off the party and their work & college friends were on the floor all night.

Welcome back from your Barbados honeymoon you two and enjoy only some of my many favorites!

All smiles,

Mariel
