American Visionary Art Museum Wedding by Robin Shotola Photography

Today we are sharing this fun American Visionary Art Museum wedding by Robin Shotola Photography that is bursting with love. Robin asked the couple a few questions & we’re sharing their answers here! “What will you remember most about your wedding day? Carly: Our toasts. Most of all, Michael’s daughter Kaya’s toast. Kaya is a confident, vibrant 11 year old and was very adamant about wanting to give a speech at the reception to “get everyone hyped.” Kaya worked on the speech secretly for weeks. She ultimately brought the house down and earned a standing ovation for her amazing, witty, hilarious toast that noted “I was so happy when my dad found Carly because I always knew he needed a strong woman in his life, and an 11 year old can only do so much.” When the toasts started we both sat back, laughed hysterically and were consumed with joy about the new family we were creating together. Michael: I will remember tearing up as soon as the music started. Seeing our friends, flower girls, and my son and daughter start coming down the aisle and then seeing Carly’s brothers walking her out to me. And the Panda, I shall always remember the Panda. (A friend surprised us near the end of the reception by donning a full on panda costume and doing an unexpected and elaborate dance to LMFAO’s “Sexy and I know it”.) Favorite wedding photo and why: Carly: I love the candid photo of Michael and I walking out immediately after being being pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Harris and laughing – I think a friend or relative shouted something funny. We look as giddy as we felt! Michael: The black and white photo of Carly and myself through her veil…it’s just classic.”
