Congratulations Samantha & Mark!
Last Saturday we photographed Samantha & Mark's wedding at Christian Theological Seminary (Sweeney Chapel) and their reception at the Holiday Inn at the Pyramids. When we walked into the dressing room, they had amazing window light and fabulous details!! We LOVED her mom's purse (above) that totally matched her dress…and we loved Samantha's cute blue blinged out shoes! 🙂
Getting ready…
And as promised, an interior shot of our new emergency kit/suitcase…someday when I have more time to post, I'll tell you what all is in it. You'd be amazed!! 🙂
Chuck from The Florist at Allisonville Nursery did an amazing job on their flowers! The colors just popped in pictures! 🙂
The handsome groom…(who had his guys there on time!! We were totally impressed!!)
There was great side light coming in so we took advantage of that with another mob shot of the guys…:)
Ring bearer on the left = HILARIOUS! I don't think he was into pictures…and that's ok, it made for a funny shot! 🙂
Samantha's dress was gorgeous!! I love the pick up skirt style…
Loved this silhouette…
Karen Hall & Co did a great job with her hair & make-up!
Elizabeth O'Meara Ahlgrim was their harpist…she was fantastic!!
I do!! 🙂
Cute flower girls!!
Aren't they ADORABLE together?! She loved this metal door and I see why…very cool architecture so we had to get some pics there…
Mark had a cool pin striped suit on and I just LOVE this shot…usually we'll let the bride or groom (whoever has steady hands at that time) hold the bouquet super still to get a "rings in the flowers" shot…well, I noticed how cool he looked in his suit and took another variation of this shot! LOL Hope he doesn't hate me for posting this… 🙂
From inside the metal doors….
We finished up their pics at Holcomb Gardens after the ceremony…loved the warm sunlight! 🙂
It was getting close to sunset so we were losing our light fast but we managed to quickly shoot some amazing sunset/puffy cloud shots with them before it got too dark…here they are practicing their first dance…
STUNNING!
Since neither of them are "cake people"…they decided to have an ice cream sundae bar!! LOVED IT!!! 🙂
Doesn't this make you hungry?! LOL Grab a spoon!
Their first dance was choreographed and it was AMAZING!!!!!! I loved the Patrick Swayze style lift at the end – classic!!
Towards the end of the night, we snuck up to their honeymoon suite for a few room shots…
And of course, my signature shot…. 🙂
Hope you're having a blast on your honeymoon this week you guys! More pics coming soon! 🙂
