This awesome couple actually lives out of state so our first meeting with Kelly and Shane was over a year ago via Facetime. I couldn’t get the laptop to work so we Facetimed on my phone. Saylor and I squeezed together onto the little screen and we virtually hung out with these two for over an hour. When we we got off the phone I turned to him and said “If they don’t hire us I’m going to cry!” I’m so glad they did choose to hire us, because they have been an absolute dream to work with. Ultra organized and thoughtful, Kelly and Shane made us feel like part of the family the whole day!
So, this fall’s wedding season has been a bit of a rainy one, but we lucked out yet again and the rain had let up once we arrived at The Milestone on the big day. We only felt a few sprinkles during portraits and other than that the rain gave us a break. THANK GOODNESS, because the outside portraits of these two were my favorite part of the day. Check out Kelly and Shane’s gorgeous day at The Milestone. .jpg)

So, you probably know how much heritage and family heirlooms mean to us so I was really interested in the details below. On the left, are the coins used in Kelly & Shane’s coin ceremony. A coin ceremony is a Filipino wedding tradition where the groom drops silver coins into the bride’s hands signifying his promise to take care of his wife materially. These particular silver coins were provided by Kelly’s parents and they all had a special significance. Her father has been collecting them throughout her lifetime. Some of them were even used in her parents own coin ceremony.
The pocket watch on the right is the gift that Kelly gave to Shane before the ceremony. The watch belonged to his grandfather. Isn’t it beautiful? The simplest objects become so much more beautiful when there is history and meaning attached to them.
