Anne and David at The Eagles Nest

David had to be one of the calmest groom’s ever. When I arrived at the church he was busy greeting everyone and spent quite a bit of time sitting and talking with his little niece, the flower girl. A beautiful ceremony at The Church of the Assumption in Maybrook was followed by a really fun...
