Michelle Tanner & Gabe Fitton
May 19th, 2013; Legare Waring House
Looking at the palette of Michelle Tanner and Gabe Fitton’s wedding at the Legare Waring House, you wouldn’t guess the bride was initially hesitant about vibrant hues. Early on, she had envisioned subtle blushes for the affair, and the thought of using fuchsia made her a little nervous.

And isn’t a standout day what every couple wants?
