This was one of those odd days that the weather channel was actually right weeks in advance. I remember having a phone call with Kristina and Mike during this time and the pointed out it may have to be an indoor ceremony because it’s suppose to rain. “It’s way too far out to predict that, I doubt it will actually rain on your wedding” I said. Well, sure enough it rained. Actually no, it didn’t rain — it absolutely down-poured. Just my luck, the one venue i’ve been wanting to shoot at this year was going to be all indoors…. or was it?

By some miracle the clouds broke and the sun came out right before the ceremony — creating an amazing, dramatic backdrop for this beautiful nautical-styled wedding.

… Oh! and Mike surprised his new wife with an amazing fireworks show 🙂
