the wedding of l&c

This wedding had a ton of firsts for us: first cake smash, first sparklers, first time we've taken over 2000 photos, one of a only a few where the groom actually liked to dance. And it was amazing fun. This was one of the most detailed weddings we've seen this year, and the setting was absolutely breathtaking. Add to that a very photogenic couple and adorable wedding party, and it was one of those weddings where I say "If I can't take good pictures of this, I just need to pack up and go home." I think we managed, though.

ready to run
There were tiny touches of adorableness everywhere I looked.

love is in the details
The friends of the bride were amazing, and kept her laughing pretty much the whole time.

getting beautiful
This particular bridesmaid looked like Rachel Bilson. Only prettier. The whole wedding party was gorgeous.

put on your dancing shoes
Flats! Perfect for dancing, right?

last-minute nails
So this makes me laugh, because the whole "when shall we update the nail polish" thing turned out to be quite complicated. Obviously we decided that getting into a wedding dress with soft polish was way too difficult, so we went with the after-dress touchup.

cheers!
Champagne has a calming effect, don't you know?

like an old old pictures
L managed to look completely timeless, I thought. Seriously though.





the maids
I was jealous they got to put their feet in. I wanted to!

all the girls

le flowers
The mother of the bride did all the flowers, and this was her first attempt. Didn't she do an amazing job?

quiet moment
I walked in on L and her dad having a quiet moment of prayer as they waited for the ceremony.

waiting to walk
From where she sat, she could look out and watch everything that was going on, but no one could see her. It was perfect and lovely, because she was hidden, but not shut away from everything that was going on.

sundrenched centerpiece
The dinner tables were set up behind the ceremony area, and I grabbed this shot of a centerpiece shortly before the ceremony began. Isn't the light amazing?


Waiting for everything to begin.

long, long aisle
The processional was long, but beautiful.

giving her away

aisle
Fact: to grab this shot I totally had to cheat. The flower girl forgot to drop any flowers on the way down, so I pulled a few petals off a rose that was tied to a nearby chair. But I like it.

prayer
The light! The tree! It's all so gorgeous!


We were scrambling to get formals done before we lost the light. We managed.

flower girl
Cutest. Flowergirl. Ever.

first dance
Their first dance.

smush!
Cake attack! Don't worry, she got him quite well, too.

what a magical night for dancing
Isn't it magical?
