When I first spoke to Justin on the phone, I knew I wanted to be the wedding photographer he and his lovely bride, Eliza, chose to photograph their wedding! They were referred to me by my wonderful clients, Krista & Brett, who were married at Nestldown last August. They were in the same marriage prep class! Eliza’s mother grew up in the family home at which she and Justin planned to marry, and married Eliza’s dad in the same spot where the ceremony was to be held. Sadly, Eliza’s parents are no longer with us, so this was such a special tribute to them. Eliza placed special tributes around the wedding, and flowers to honor her parents. There were games, and a signature cocktail, the “CosmopoliJim” that let us know about the special people they were.

Eliza's tribute to her parents
Both Eliza and Justin are the kind of people everyone wants their kids to grow up to be… smart, funny, lovely, and with a passion for helping others and fighting for social justice. They are very cherished by their friends and family, and had a record 18 people in their wedding party, which just shows how much they are loved!
