I was incredibly nervous before Alex + Nicole's wedding. Well, I'm usually a little nervous before every wedding I photograph, but for some reason I was extra nervous for this one. Probably because if was the first wedding of 2015. Who knows? 

Alex + Nicole are such a down to earth couple. It was so easy to take their pictures because they were up for anything and were (and are) so incredibly relaxed and comfortable with each other. I could literally see Nicole relax as soon as Alex was present. And Alex was so good at keeping the two of them in the moment and into each other that I was able to capture genuine love moments. It was so cool to witness.

Besides the love affair that is Nicole + Alex, we should talk about the love affair that is Nicole + Melissa. We have so much in common! Joss Whedon, puzzles, JGL, and FRIENDS. It's the beginning of something beautiful. #itsallaboutmeguys Anyways, I'm really sharing this tidbit of info because Nicole's sister had the best quotation ever in her maid of honour speech: 

"It is a love based of giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have… and receive." Joey Tribbiani FRIENDS

Guys, I barely held it together. And as you'll see, Nicole didn't. It was the best. 

All the best in 2016 Nicole + Alex!
