It’s a fact that enthusiasm is contagious.

Danielle and Dan have been boyfriend and girlfriend since they were kids, so their wedding day was years in the making.  Their excitement about planning and celebrating their wedding day with their loved ones was so evident that I couldn’t help but be excited too!

The wedding ceremony and reception both took place at the Sheraton at Station Square on a warm, sunny mid-July afternoon.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day:
