Ann + Andrew = Married!

We photographed this sweet couple’s wedding at Our Lady of Grace & Purgatory and had a blast with them!! I’m still catching up on blogging our insanely busy winter wedding season (is that a new trend?!) 🙂 but looking at these pics makes me want to grab a cozy sweater and hot chocolate all over again!! 🙂 They had such amazing custom details that day that included custom wedding party gifts, cufflinks, matching flannel shirts and shawls, lockets in the flowers and matching socks for the guys. They even had an ice block luminary with greenery and berries in the ice that lit up the walkway into the reception! The sunset was gorgeous that night, it was perfect for photos. They wowed their guests with a warm hot chocolate bar with all the goodies and even had a custom cake topper to showcase their mutual love of cycling. It was a fun event to shoot for sure, you know how much I LOVE fancy details!! 😉

In Ann’s words…

1. How did he propose?

Andrew treated me to a day of luxury so I went with my mom to get my nails done and we went shopping for a new outfit for my dinner date with Andrew. He took me out to Stone Creek Dining at the Hamilton Town Center Mall. He then took us back to our house to watch a Christmas movie. Before we started the movie, he talked about how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He brought a large diamond ring ornament he had purchased from Pier 1 from the back of the tree to the front and my ring was strung on the satin ribbon, dangling down. He got down on one knee and proposed. I, of course, said, “yes” and cried!

2. What was your favorite wedding moment?

My favorite wedding moment was the look in Andrew’s eyes when I first walked down the aisle.

3. What was his favorite wedding moment?

His favorite wedding moment was our first dance.

4. What was the funniest wedding moment?

The funniest wedding moment would have to be at the start of our wedding ceremony. The ring bearer and flower girl refused to walk with their parents down the aisle, so instead of walking, they were carried and cried the whole way down. Even though they refused and were crying, they were still so adorable.

5. What was your first dance song?

We danced to “Everything” by Michael Bublé for our first dance.

6. Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Our honeymoon is still undecided, but we plan to go somewhere along the east coast.

7. What advice would you give to future brides?

A few of my married bridesmaids told me that morning to make sure I take those steps back to reflect on the moments throughout the day and to remember to breathe. You only have this moment once and it goes so fast. I took their advice and I would definitely say that that was the best thing for me.
