Shrine of Saint Anthony Spring Wedding

Jun 2, 2023

Tradition. Family. Love.

Three words to perfectly sum up Michelle and Dominic’s Shrine of Saint Anthony Spring Wedding.

The day started at Michelle’s family’s home shrine, The Shrine of Saint Anthony. A favorite of the HMP Team! The chapel is filled with bright, beautiful colors, and the exterior is a photographer’s dream! Stunning stone arches surround a romantic courtyard.

It is a perfect place to say I do!

Especially when it is so meaningful to the family. As guests arrived, they were greeted by two singers and an organist playing a beautiful melody that filled the chapel. It created such a magical and welcoming feel as they entered and found their seats. Tucked away, Michelle and Dominic were exchanging handwritten letters. Tears were shed as these two felt the love pouring out of each word.

What a meaningful way to kick-off their ceremony!

At the ceremony, family and friends gathered to witness Michelle and Dominic exchange rings and make their wedding vows. It was a traditional Catholic wedding. They had family participate in readings during the ceremony and received communion. Every chance they could get, family was woven into the day!

Family is such an important aspect for all of my HMP Couples.

After a champagne burst with the bridal party, they were off to Historic Savage Mill for their party. As the evening progressed, the dance floor started to grow, and the moves got better and better! There was so love and support surrounding Michelle and Dominic on their Shrine of Saint Anthony spring wedding day. I’m sure that will continue everyday through this new journey as well! Tradition. Family. Love. These three words don’t only perfectly describe their wedding; it also perfectly describes Michelle and Dominic!

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
