I’ve seen a lot of fun ceremonies and moments at weddings, but watching a butterfly release has got to be in the top 5. Anne Marie and Justin both have a very strong appreciation for nature and animals, when they chose the Museum of Life and Science as their wedding venue it was a perfect fit. The cocktail hour was set within the insect exhibit so guests were able to walk around and learn while they mingled, and of course the shining moment involved the butterfly release with the bride and groom. As the butterflies had just come out of their cocoons, their wings were still developing so they were so happy to just hang out in their hands for a while, it was quite magical.
Their family and friends were able to experience the butterflies throughout the night as well and everyone had so much fun with them. The atmosphere all evening was full of celebration. Anne Marie and Justin went ahead and eloped on Halloween last year when covid pushed back their celebration so the only thing on the agenda this weekend was butterflies and dancing, and everyone had a blast!
Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your big day you guys! Everything was perfect :)
