August 8th of 2008 was an awesome day for us. We were fortunate enough to be booked by Erin and Jeremiah, who had contacted us just weeks before this wonderful day. I knew there was a good reason why we hadn't already booked that day yet, and then these two wonderful people came along! 8.8.08 was unlike any other wedding, maybe because it wasn't actually a wedding – Erin and Jeremiah decided to go the untraditional way and exchange vows. They wanted 8.8.08 to remain special to them as it was the day that they committed and celebrated their love together with all of their closest family and friends.
Erin had three dresses for the entire evening — so fun!
My lovely and talented sister Nicole DeAnne was the hair and make-up artist for Erin. Of course, I had to grab a quick shot of us before she finished up!
I thought Erin looked stunning and Jeremiah was nothing short of handsome!
Since the event was a party, Erin let her boys plan part of the night just for the other kid friends. The details included character drawings, air-brush body art, blow-up balloons and a photo booth! I loved that this party was kid-friendly!
With the help of Lisa Kennedy from Landmark Events, the decor, day and details were uber-fabulous! P.S. Erin put together all of the tabletop arrangements herself. I thought it was one of the best displays I had ever seen!
As their guests dined, Erin, Jeremiah and the two boys escaped down to the beach to exchange a few words about family and commitment.
Just after exchanging their vows:
After vows and rings were exchanged, the guests were invited to join E & J on the beach for a toast.
At the end of the toast the guests were then invited to grab a handful of rose petals and throw them into the ocean as they made a wishful hope for the future.
My favorite shot of the day. So glad that we were able to grab this at the end of the night!
I love, love, love this image! Justin took it just as we were heading out the door.

Just looking at these picture you can almost feel what a special day this was. I love all the decor details and such a beautiful family! Amazing job!
Hi, this is probably a long shot but I am getting married in August so I’ve obviously been planning quite a bit lately and while I was looking online for ideas I came across this wedding and fell in love with the dress that she wore that has the sequins at the top and the bottom. I have tried searching EVERYWHERE I could think of and have came up empty handed. Do you know of anyway that I could contact the bride and maybe find out where she got it even though it seems that she is so awesome that she got it custom made or spent mega dollars on it : )
thanks… keeping fingers crossed
@Elizabeth: I will try and contact the bride and get back to you once I hear from her.
Oh my! Thank you soooooo much that would mean the world to me!
@Elizabeth: Elizabeth, here is what Erin said about her dress, if you want it I can get you her contact info:
Hi Amelia,
I believe it was an “A.B.S” dress by Allen Schwartz… It’s still at the cleaners (thought it was at my mom’s!), and I’m SO glad this lady brought it all up, or I would have completely forgotten about it! So sad. Anyhow, I’m going to see if it’s there today, and let you know for sure, but I think it was originally $350ish, but I got it for $60! If she’s a size 2, I would be happy to hand it off to her… It would be nice for it to be enjoyed again 
I was very flattered by her compliments!
Anyhow, I’ll confirm asap, but thought you could forward this to her in the meantime so she could start to search online (last season).
Best,
Erin
Oh my gosh! I cant stop screaming in my fiances face “SHES GONNA GIVE ME THE DRESS!” LOL and yes… i’m a size 2 is this not the universe telling me that I am meant to get married in this dress lol. I’m sorry i sound like a big loser but im very excited and glad that I could help refind your dress. So yes, please may I have her contact info
i cant stop smiling by the way, ive been looking for hours a day for a dress even almost as beautiful, im gonna have the best wedding
