Such a lovely evening at Harkness Park with Meli and Ken! I should be an unofficial tour guide for my couples because they had never been here before. There was a storm earlier in the day but everything worked out giving a beautiful glowing sunset. So happy we didn't have to postpone! These two found love again while Ken was a guest at another wedding - hanging out at the bar for the afterparty when Meli walked in. They got to know each other better on drives in Ken's Bronco and trips with their children. We leisurely walked around the grounds and I got the classic images of the Japanese maple and mansion arches but I got to go back to some locations I haven't been in a while, like the greenhouse. Hands down the beach was so fun! Meli and Ken changed into beautiful neutrals and popped the champs! They have just great sprits and couldn't wait to jump into the water.

Their day next year will be intimate, loving and joining of their families at Haley Mansion and I can't wait. Enjoy these images!

All smiles,

Mariel
