Matt & Melissa’s wedding – sneak peek
I had my first wedding as the official wedding photographer yesterday. I really had a lot of fun!
Aside from having the darkest church on this planet, the wedding was simply beautiful. Their wedding colors were brown and sky blue, and they had 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen, and 2 flower girls (Matt & Melissa’s daughters). The blog doesn’t really do this picture justice, since the images show so small, but here is the formal shot of the whole wedding party:
After the ceremony, we had 20 minutes to shoot the formal pictures before the next wedding came in, so we had to skedaddle out of there real quick. Then the reception was in the church’s multipurpose room, so it was a short little walk over there. We took a few moments when the reception started to die down to get outside for a few bride & groom shots, like this one by their decorated car:
So I don’t overwhelm the blog with pictures, I’ll just post a couple more for the time being…
I thought it was cute that they were tying all the balloon bouquets together for this little girl to take home. It reminded me of my cousin’s wedding where there were a lot of little heart soap favors left over, so my daughter collected a huge bag of the soaps. In fact, we still have a big bag of little heart soaps, which we encourage the kids to use (or should I say ‘play with’) instead of dumping a brand new bottle of Bath & Body works hand soap down the drain in order to fill the bottle up with water…. yeah, my dear boy did that last week… but I digress…)
Melissa decided her shoes weren’t for dancing in, but I thought they made for a nice photo op.
I’ve got tons more pictures, I’ll probably do a few more sneak peeks before it’s all said and done.
