On Saturday, December 18th, 2010, Linzy was a princess. Beautiful. Stunning. A princess for the day. Her dream.
Linzy has always loved Disney, and when planning her wedding, she imagined a beautiful fairy tale of a setting. She met her groom, Mike, at school, and their winter wedding was truly a dream. At one point in the day, a little girl and her mom approached Linzy and asked to take a picture “because the little girl always loved Disney princesses”. The look on Linzy’s face was one of utter joy, and Mike just stood back and watched with a big smile as they snapped a few photos of his bride. Mike just adores her, and when he opened his Movado watch from Linzy earlier in the day, he just kept saying “She’s the best. She’s the best.”
Their wedding was one of beautiful wintery goodness, friendship, love, and fun. I am so glad I was able to photograph their day, and their wedding was the perfect end to the 2010 wedding season. Here are some of my favorites from their day:
I loved how they weren’t afraid to pull in some winter details with the pine in the flower bouquets.
The watch Mike’s always wanted.
Linzy was pretty excited, too, about the diamond earrings Mike sent her way!
Oh my goodness gracious she was stunning!
All of the girls!
Recognize anyone?! There’s Nikki – one of my brides from May, Jody – to be married next August, and Megan – one of my favorite bridesmaids!
First pump to celebrate the wedding!

Dear huge wedding party: THANK YOU for not only being patient with me, but, girls, for braving the cold in those little dresses! xoxo-me
