Dodi and Rick's Wedding

Severe thunderstorms and even a tornado watch were in the forecast for Rick and Dodi's New Hampshire wedding this past weekend. Not really the weather you want on your wedding day. I knew how special today was for Dodi and Rick, but I also knew that they are such positive people and that they wouldn't let any weather prevent them from celebrating their wedding together. Well, their positive attitudes must have had an effect on the weather, because they ended up having and absolutely beautiful day.Their ceremony and reception were at the Mile Away Restaurant in Milford, NH, a wonderful outdoor venue. It was such nice celebration with friends and family with so many heartfelt moments. Dodi and Rick are so happy together, and it was my privilege to be able to photograph their day.
