I met the Wager family last summer when I photographed sweet Bennett’s baptism and I had the pleasure of seeing them again for his amazing Duke Mansion first birthday party!  Bennett’s mom, Nicole has amazing style and taste, and chose the perfect location to host her sweet boy’s big day.  I joked with the family that we’d be back in 25 years for his wedding!

The Duke Mansion provided the perfect backdrop for the flawlessly planned event, by Tiffany at Hart & Co., with amazing florals by Lily Greenthumbs, invitation suite and paper goods by Olive Paper, linens by La Tavola Fine Linen, and delicious monogrammed cookies and cake by Suarez Bakery.  Catering was handled in-house by The Duke Mansion, as were they stunning macaroons!

We were entertained with creative balloon creations by Mister Twister and children’s games in the courtyard.  Bennett even has his own personal cornhole boards!!!
