Kara & Noah’s wedding was ELEVEN years in the making, but these eighth grade sweethearts finally became Mr. & Mrs. Weinstein at Chautauqua Harbor Hotel on Saturday! When you wait over a decade to marry your best friend, you want every last detail to be perfect. And believe me when I say— it most definitely was!
There were moments I was crying behind my camera so much that I could barely see through my viewfinder. Even after all this time together, these two still look at each other as if they had JUST fallen in love. I swear their handwritten, private vows were enough to send me home for the day. (I was emotionally UNWELL after getting a front row seat to those!) Hearing all their family members reminisce on their love story over the years made me love these two even more (which I didn’t think was possible, because they’re already downright incredible!) But, as it turns out, I’m not the only one who thinks so. To know Kara and Noah is to love them, and they truly are their own exceptional kind of wonderful!
Kara & Noah—
Thank you for allowing me to document your absolute favorite day ever! I am not going to lie— I had to shower as soon as I got home, not only because we roasted in the sun that day, but more so because I danced my face off with all of your guests for the entire evening. HAHAHA! It was the BEST celebration of your love & every last detail turned out so incredible! I’m still so honored I got to be part of your vendor team; it’s weddings like yours that remind me why I do what I do. I love you both so much it physically hurts, and can’t wait to see where life takes you from here.
All my love, always.
Xoxo,
Hannah B
When you’ve gotta show your bridesmaids how you can drop it low in your gown in preparation for the reception later… hahaha! Proof that Kara is MY GIRL!
