I always love a Christmas wedding and Marrisa and Eric's wedding at The Farmhouse wedding venue served all the holiday spirit! The touches of red and green were the perfect reminder that it's almost Christmas, but still a wedding that we are here to celebrate!

These two have been together for over 3 years and I got to meet them for the first time at Jenna and Jack's wedding where Marissa was maid of honor for her sister. Back then, I told Marissa that when her time came, I wanted to be in the running to capture her day! As soon as Eric popped the question, Marissa let let me know. Marissa and I bond over our shared love of the Swiftie universe, so I was gushing when there were hints Taylor Swift lyrics spread throughout her day.

I'm so so excited to share my last wedding of the 2025 season! Marissa and Eric went out with a bang! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. McCrate!
