When Erik and I first met Yohana and Pat we totally fell in love. As they told us the story of how they met and and started dating I got goosebumps and a bit misty as it reminded me of my favorite love story in Love Actually. Yohana had recently moved to this country and was learning to speak English. When she and Pat met and started dating their verbal communication was limited, but they just knew…and they truly are a perfect fit. They have the qualities I most admire in people – they are full of life and laughter, and therefore a blast to be around, and they have a good sense of humor (with a healthy dose of sarcasm)! Erik and I had so much fun spending the afternoon with them at Southford Falls in Oxford.
Yohana says she like hiding in the leaves.
They make each other laugh.
How cute are they??
I told you – a perfect fit ; )
They both have gorgeous eyes.
We walked down toward the bottom part of the falls and they were both decided to climb down the steep sides to get closer. Erik and I were happy about that ; ) This is my view.
This is Erik’s view.
We love this one!
I love this shot so much – it totally shows their personalities and sense of humor. Pat was cracking us up!!
Back to to top of the falls. Erik captured this awesome reflection.
While I was shooting this.
This one makes me happy ; )
Cute!
Super Cute!
Extra Super Cute!
I was loving the clouds.
Down by the pond the reflections were perfect!
I love the sky in this one.
Jumping for joy!
And, of course, the ring!!
Thank you Yohana and Pat for spending the afternoon with us and making us laugh so much! We had so much fun with you and we can’t wait for your wedding in a couple of weeks!!

Caitlin’s beautiful wedding gown from Kleinfeld’s. Caitlin and Matthew’s wedding experience will be featured on the fabulous TLC show Say Yes to the Dress, and their film crew was on hand all day. We are so excited to see the episode airing in the fall.
And her shoes, a wonderful blue that was to carry on throughout the day!
Wow! Just look at those eyelashes, and 100% natural 
. Caitlin looks amazing here.
We loved the flower in her hair!
Caitlin being helped into her wedding gown, with her bridesmaids smiling in approval 
We had some perfect window lighting!
On Erik’s end, it was all business as Matthew was getting ready.
Matthew’s tie was really cool and classy!
Love this shot that Erik got- we think Matthew looks like he is in an old movie. He was waiting ever so patiently for Caitlin to meet him for the “first look”.
The moment before “the moment”.
Their first time seeing each other all dressed up and looking incredible!
Matthew had surprised Caitlin with an amazing ring from Tiffany, one that Caitlin had her eye on and never dreamed would be hers!
The bridal party was a super fun group!
I Loooooove the bridesmaids bouquets!
A fun fisheye portrait just for you, Caitlin.
We love the way they are holding each other, and their beaming smiles!
Did I mention that we love the bridemaid’s bouquets? They look pretty awesome with their dresses
Getting pampered by the bridemaids before the ceremony.
We love Caitlin’s reaction while walking down the aisle!
And Matthew was so happy to meet her there.
The ring!
Husband and Wife!!
So cute ; )
Some relaxed portraits after the ceremony.
The light was gorgeous!
Well, we were on a golf course after all…
Love this shot Erik captured – the light was killer!!
A kiss before heading back inside.
The details were amazing!!
We were loving all of the blue.
First dance – we love Caitlin’s expression here.
Matthew swept Caitlin off of her feet ; )
Cake cutting.
; )
Matthew has such a mischievous look here it cracks us up!
Matthew expertly tossing the garter.
On the dance floor…
Not sure what’s going on here, but it looks like fun!
Thank you Caitlin and Matthew!! We had so much fun with you at both the rehearsal dinner and your wedding!! Hope you enjoyed your honeymoon ; )
xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
