He loved chocolate, so she schemed and made truffles. He was hooked for life :) These high school sweethearts got married last weekend with a beautiful Cape May wedding!

Alyssa gifted her bridesmaids with these beautiful robes! Debated snatching one and photographing the rest of the wedding in it. Decided against it, but not sure I made the right decision.

All morning, Alyssa kept saying, “I can’t believe this is my hair! Or my face!” Believe it, beautiful lady!

Don’t you think Alyssa is a dead ringer for Jennifer Lawrence here?? Obviously I’m obsessed with JLaw (/Katniss) (and Cinna), so no higher praise can come from me!
