Stacie and Marc defined what understated elegance is all about.  The unassuming way they planned and executed their wedding day vision was all about style, class and the occasional dirty joke.  After spending the morning documenting them getting ready, out of sight of the other person, I knew that this day was going to be extremely relaxed, with nothing the joy of celebrating on their minds.

With the incredible planning prowess of Shannon from Shannon Valente Weddings (surprisingly, this was my first time ever working with her, even though she has known my wife, a now retired wedding planner for many years now – nice to finally get that cherry popped!) – she ensured the day went off without a hitch – it made for the most perfect wedding day!  The laughs they shared, and the first time they touched hands during their first “look” – I don’t want to say that it moved me, but there was this strange dust in the air that made my throat dry and my eyes water.  Totally weird.

The beauty of a venue like Teatro‘s is that it fit in with their design of understated elegance – nothing more needs to be done to align the venue with their sense of style.  That’s the beauty of hosting a wedding at such an amazing venue – the food and wine were at the top of their list of must-haves for their wedding, and the team at Teatro delivered in spades!

Stacie was absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful in her wedding dress and her gift of black Louboutin‘s from the ever thoughtful Marc (“How does he even know what these are?!”).  And Marc was no less dashing and in his custom Canali suit – it’s amazing how a well made suit looks on any guy and the confidence that it gives them which you can see in the way a man carries himself.  Amborella Floral Studios designed the amazing floral arrangements which highlighted each of the family-style tables at the reception.  My friends Ixchel and Justin from Parfait Productions were riding shotgun with me – I can’t wait to see the film they put together for them and Daniel from Pez Productions kept the 1s and 2s going all night (after Stacie and Marc surprised everyone with an impromptu line-dancing lesson from Dean Stroeder from Dance ‘N’ Style all of the details were perfect.

Congratulations Stacie and Marc!
