With a big celebration planned in New Jersey this spring, Carolyn and Charles decided to share an intimate family wedding locally in Old Town this fall. And I'm so glad I got to be their photographer for this beautiful, special day. I think between their engagement photos and their wedding day, we managed to hit all the must-see spots in Old Town! There's no other couple I'd rather explore our beautiful city with! Congratulation to these two cuties!
