Great Marsh Estate Wedding: Tara + Cameron

December 30, 2022

Tara and Cameron’s wedding at Great Marsh Estate was nothing short of heartfelt. Great Marsh has quickly become a favorite venue of mine. They opted not to do a first look, but instead, they did what we call a “first touch,” where you don’t technically see each other before the wedding, but you get a quiet moment alone to connect before your ceremony. This was probably the best pre-ceremony moment I’ve had to date. It was tender and sweet and everything you hope for your bride and groom to have. Sometimes I am really amazed that I am a witness to some of life’s most meaningful moments. It is awe inspiring and renews my faith in the goodness of humankind.

Tara is a nurse and not just any nurse, but a NICU nurse. That tells you right there what you need to know about Tara. She is one of the most caring women I have encountered. She is dedicated, patient, and kind. The way Cameron looked at her all day long and into the evening was so sincere and loving. These two will go far as Tara just completed her Doctorate degree. I can’t wait to see where they go in life!
