It was an email correspondence that started between two colleagues that would change the trajectory of their lives. Every time Carol's name appeared in the subject box, Brian found himself smiling with excitement. They flirted, they joked, and their conversation had a level of comfort and ease that Brian hadn't been expecting. When Carol told him that she was leaving her position with the company, Brian knew he wanted to take their casual flirtation out of his inbox and into real life.  

Over time, Carol would turn Brian onto her favorite glass of wine …and he introduced her to the merits of Taco Tuesdays. Their 'office romance' had settled in and got cozy and that's when Brian knew his 'QTPI' was the one.

It was only befitting to return to the historic landmark restaurant that the pair shared their first date together for their wedding. A cozy place to celebrate, the couple invited their closet friends and family to W.A. Frost and Company to bless their love and witness the magnetic force that brought them together.  The couple lucked out on a truly gorgeous day with the rain clearing up right before we started shooting.
