When I arrived at Tanya and Jay’s home where the boys were getting ready they were hanging out, playing video games making fun of each other doing what boys do. Jay looked great, just happy to be spending a few hours with the guys but so excited to see Tanya. Meanwhile, the girls were gathered around Tanya as Raycne finished up her make up when we arrived at the Farinha home. There is a closeness between Tanya and her girls like none other, they laughed, cried and looked at her in awe that day and helped her every single way they could. Everyone was so happy and so excited to see these two get married. What a great bunch of friends!
The ceremony took place on the beach under the warm summer sun with guests gathered around. It was beautiful, short and sweet! I love a big wedding party and this bunch packed big energy too! Tanya and Jay and their friends play baseball in a local league during the summer months. During these evening games or weekend tournaments they have been known to get up to a little game called “flip-cup” with their ball buddies. Midway through the photo session the wedding party broke out some plastic cups, found a picnic table, and you guessed it….a short game of flip cup! Girls WIN! Too funny! We snuck away from the group for a little while to finish off the session with some shots of just the two of them. Tanya was radiant, and Jay couldn’t take his eyes off his bride as they walked through the apple orchard hand-in-hand. The two of them cuddle and kissed and just enjoyed some quiet time together as we snapped away! It wasn’t long before the wedding party found us and off they went to celebrate with family and friends! Thanks again Tanya and Jay for including us in your very special day.
This day deserved the complete and absolute attention to detail the you gave it Erika! Jay and Tan look amazing, as do the wedding party! Congrats to the married couple and their incredible photographer!

Well done E! Looooveve 0259, that second wide shot and the very last shot!
