jeanne & brian

jeanne and brian went to elementary school together in the bronx...

fast forward a couple decades to a time when the world is connected by the internet making it possible for jeanne and brian to reconnect online and realize that they are both living in ohio only 60 miles apart and bam! you have a love connection...

if that doesn't make you go aw, then you should go to the doctor and make sure your heart is still beating...

i love the smiles brian evokes from jeanne...

such an adorable couple...

one brother entertained, one brother bored...

you'd never know this cute little chapel exists in the port of newark where jeanne's mom's cousin is a priest...

it's at this ceremony where i realize just how irish jeanne and brian are... holy irish!

after the ceremony we headed over to don pepe restaurant in newark for an intimate dinner...

this shot makes me giggle...

...but this shot makes me giggle more...

reaction to jeanne's sister reading jeanne's childhood diary...

he's thinking of a number...

now you see him...

now you don't...

although i didn't get to meet jeanne and brian in person until the day of their wedding, i felt like i'd known them for years. their story is endearing, their smiles are warming and their family and friends are inviting...a lovely afternoon!
