Two weeks ago we had the awesome pleasure of photographing Aimee and Aaron's wedding. We knew we would have a blast at their wedding when Aaron climbed a ladder in Old Town and did the Spiderman Kiss pose for their engagement session. Lots of tears of joy and laughter at this wedding and we feel blessed to have been able to capture those moments. Here's some favorites. Be sure to check out the break dancing and the bouquet toss that broke the chandelier.

Taylin's Mom had let us know ahead of time that Taylin had developed a phobia of big cameras recently, so we knew we would be shooting with long lenses and playing paparazzi for the session.
