Claridge Hotel Wedding|Alicia and Santino

The kind of weather we had for Alicia and Santino’s Claridge Hotel Wedding wasn’t ideal. Well, actually that’s an understatement because the winds were howling and it poured rain all day! All the planning, effort and time that was put into their wedding was always going to make it a beautiful day, and it was! But one thing that money, praying or the best coordinator can not fix is Mother Nature.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day:

Thankfully Alicia and Santino didn’t care about the rain or having to resort to Plan B for the day. Their spirits were high throughout the entire day…they’re an amazing, beautiful couple!

The decor and architecture of the Claridge Hotel worked quite nicely for the first look and bride/groom images. We were able to find some beautiful window light and a couple of quiet locations to create some romantic images.
