The plans were in place for a beautiful, intimate, Fall, first look for Julia and Luis.  As the day approached the forecast looked like there would be nothing but cold and rain that day.  In order to create a first look outside of the small church where the ceremony was being held and where the wedding party was going to get ready, we found a pavilion at Letchworth State Park that they were able to rent in order to have a "somewhat" outdoor first look.  Though a bit tense about the changes of her day, Julia made a most beautiful bride and had a wonderful day filled with lots of laughter and love!  Luis's quiet nature is a wonderful compliment to Julia's more outgoing and take charge personality and you could see through out the day how much their new family loves and supports each other.  Be sure to leave the couple some love in the comments when you get to the end.
