Ana and Paul were married on a rainy day in October of 2019. Massachusetts doesn't really get hurricanes or anything of that magnitude, but it was one of the hardest rains I had ever seen!

Despite the dreary weather, Ana and Paul were joyous and thankful throughout the entire day. While picking out the photos for this post, I had a hard time narrowing down all the photos of Ana beaming with her beautiful smile.

She is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. We met each other at the wallpaper company I worked at before I did photography so it was a honor to shoot her wedding.
