Mikaela and Christian's Wedding

Here are some highlights from Mikaela and Christian's beautiful wedding. Mikaela's family traveled all the way from Zimbabwe to be here. It was so great to meet them and to work with Christian's family. Everyone was so much fun as you will see in the portraits... They were a blast! Enjoy!

They had amazing food representing both the bride and groom, Zimbabwean, French, Mexican, and Japanese...
