Leah & Eric

Leah & Eric: Holy Family Church {March 9, 2013}

We'd like to take you on a photographic journey of a wedding that took place just over a week ago. Leah & Eric were married by Father Hickey at Holy Family Church in Rockland, and continued the celebration with family and friends at The Pembroke Country Club. The stage was set: a beautiful bride, a handsome groom... A wedding party filled with family and friends and overflowing with smiles and tears. There were tears of joy for the coming together of two beautiful people and their families, and there were tears of sorrow for those who could not be with them in body, but were surely there in spirit, to offer Leah & Eric their blessings from beyond. Above all, love each other deeply. You must be ready for a peek at the bride by now? Here she is...

This wedding couldn't get underway without some smiles and advice from the bride's grandmother.

Leah clearly gets her smile from her grandmother, as they both light up the room.

Grandmothers can speak volumes without saying a word...

The bride always get first dibs on the blog, being mentioned and showcased first. That's just how it goes. But we had a groom, as well, and the groom had plenty of support.

A grand entrance was made by all, including the youngest of the wedding party. Lucky guy, or lucky girls? You decide.

Once it's official, it's official forever!

Two lives, one moment... a lifetime ahead.

It was on to the Pembroke Country Club, where, announcing for the first time ever, as husband and wife... well, you know the rest!

The first dance tradition was not lost on Leah and Eric. These two were in a world of their own, yet surrounded by family and friends. Congratulations, Leah & Eric. Here's to a lifetime of happiness!
