Love the shoes and the dress! Gabe stuck with the guys and did a wonderful job.
Love all the ladies around Stephanie. The more bridesmaids, the better!
As I was going through the images, I stumbled upon this little beauty that Gabe grabbed. It could be titled "Little Guy's POV or "How Can I Get Up There With All The Ladies Like Adam."
We scouted locations the day before the wedding and found this train. Perfect!
Gabe was so excited when he heard we were shooting this wedding. He and Adam were on the same hall in college. I really enjoyed working with Adam and Stephanie, especially after reviewing their pictures for this preview. I love some of these shoots. We went to a bunch of locations and it was worth it. Stephanie was a photography minor in college and knew she wanted to go to all these paces for portraits and it paid off! Scroll down if you are here for Michael and Joe's senior shoots.
I am out! I am making Joy the Baker's Double Chocolate Devil's Food and Raspberry cake for tomorrow. Yum! Happy Thanksgiving!
She loves Halloween, he loves golf. Why not incorporate both into their wedding? That's exactly what they did and it made the day so distinctly perfect. Joy wove pumpkins, golf tees, koozies, Halloween anecdotes, and Thriller into the day creating a beautiful and unforgettable event. This creativity is one reason I love weddings. I get to participate in such a joyous day and enjoy and admire the hard work of each unique bride. This day was especially memorable because my car battery died right as we were leaving the hotel, on the way to do ALL the portraits. And we had the dress. And the veil. Yikes. Gabe told me, calmly, that the car was dead and I, semi-calmly, went into problem solve mode. Problem solve mode came to a quick end (luckily) when we discovered one of the bridesmaids had jumper cables. Hooray! We were on the road in no time. Of all the times for our battery to die! Joy and Brian, you are a beautiful couple and we wish you many blessings and years of happiness! Here's to you!
Joy wore her engagement ring and her mom's rings. Stunning. Of course, the green shoes are fabulous!
This is Gabe's angle of the back's of the lovely couple as I shot from the front. Way to go, husband! The one below is his too.
Shout out to Gabe for the one above. Shout out to the sunset for the below.
I grabbed this one right after they walked down the aisle as Mr and Mrs. These are some of my favorite moments from wedding days, the "right after" shots.
Cakes from Donut Days! As always, Dottie and Spring Valley Golf Club were amazing!
Joy's dance moves are indicative of a fun night ahead.
Jordan and Alicia got hitched a couple weeks ago and we had a lot of fun. Mostly because they are friends of ours. Gabe and Jordan are old college buddies so he is friends with a lot of the groomsmen which made for fun times with the group shots! This weekend is our last wedding for a few weeks, which is very exciting! I am ready for some R&R!
Oh all the faces and expressions of Alicia. So beautiful!
And here is a face of Jordan from Gabe's camera. Love it!
Thad, our friend, noticed how hard Gabe was working and had a special request for me. We'll see.
I love when the parents come up to the altar and say a prayer for the couple. Such a blessing.
Jordan and Alicia love LOST and incorporated a few of the show's elements into the reception. I thought I'd put the fish biscuits to use. And then eat one. Wouldn't want it to go to waste. PS - I look a little crazed in this shot. :)
