Archive for 'Weddings'
From spending a couple of hours together during an engagement session, one can pick up a few things.
Here was my notes for Sara & David after theirs, AND I QUOTE:
“Sara has an amazing smile & laugh. Loves vintage cars. Especially a 67′ Mustang. Really excited for her Louboutins.
David has a quirky sense of style and a funny dry humor. I wonder if he will be wearing flip flops down the aisle…
Really cute couple.
…It’s going to be an amazing wedding”
-That note, is of course, after we spent hours past our bedtime on a work night, chit chatting over drinks & food.

If David had the option, I think he would've wore the pair on the right, all night.
Love the cuffs.
Self tied. Impressive.
First sight.
David's expression is priceless.
Amazing bridal party.
Sara got hungry.
This is how we do family photos.
Ceremony.
Fact: The hora was invented so that photographers can get expression like this outta the bride & groom.
This HAS to be THE BEST, speech-song & dance I've EVER heard. SERIOUSLY.
There he goes. Mike had to go and do the worm.
David caught trying to photo bomb.
Airing things out.
Good attempt Patrick Swayze but no dice.
Dad's getting in on the fun. Must've been Bon Jovi.

Wasn't sure what David was doing here...
Here she comes!
Love that David was still teary...I can't imagine his reaction if he hadn't seen her yet.

The boys showing some skin. It's traditional to go commando...I learned it the hard way...
Not sure what's going on here...
Trevor obviously didn't like Steph's method of picking up as much.
Like mother...
Like son?
"I've had...the time of my life"
The sequence of events that led to my severely bruised ass.
Now that I’m over the Brody & Vaughn…not really but life has to go on…sad face. sad face.
I can’t help but sing the brady bunch theme song when I was putting up the images…

Very royal kinda feel to this...
Elyse's gorgeous flowers.

Love how all the girls on top are crying and the men on the bottom are busy taking pictures. Boys, leave it up to us to take the pictures, and you go for the crying.

Love the next sequence. Dani: "Get Mrs. Greenbaum!"

This is why I like to stay till the end of receptions.
No surprise on Dani's awesome performance...
But...JACK?! YOU GO BOY!

So long folks.
I don’t normally blog about ring bearers, but when I do, THEY MOST CERTAINLY are the cutest in the world!

Ladies, meet Vaughn, he'll melt your heart like a chocolate fondue set.
The boys with Poppa.
Can someone put these guys on a J CREW catalog already?!

My fave of these two.
Warning: these two will steal the show!
