A while back I had the awesome opportunity to second shoot a wedding with friend and fellow photog Sarah Brown. Sarah and her awesome boyfriend Billy let me tag along with them for my first wedding shoot and it was so much fun to be their shadow for the day!
I’ll shush with the talking and move on to the main event.
First things first … a few details
Why is it the corsage always requires assistance?
Hands-down one of my favorite images from the day. How sweet are these two?
What bride doesn’t remember those tense moments before the doors open to the church? Kelly had a hand from her maid of honor in the veil department. She was SO calm!
I love this — such a genuine moment.
Who’s a happy groom in this photo?
After the ceremony, I high-tailed it behind scenes to be with Andrew and Kelly in their first moment as husband and wife. This is what I captured …
A shower of lavender for the newlyweds …
And a few post-”I do” kisses too!
Kelly’s grandparents couldn’t make it for their big day but they made sure to give the bride a call in time for the reception. Their reactions here are so great!
Speaking of grandparents, Andrew’s had to get a good peek at that ring. How dashing!
What’s a reception without a garter dance? Judging by Kelly’s reaction, I think Andrew’s up to no good!
And to end this post on a silly note, Andrew and his groomsmen certainly kept the day lively! They had Sarah and I laughing the whole afternoon and well into the evening. Sarah tends to give everyone a nickname and well, the fella on the left who hurt his arm during a softball tournament? Yeah … he became Robo-Groomsman. Lucky for Sarah, he was a great sport about it and joined in the laugh
Thanks again Sarah for the awesome experience and readers, if you made it to the bottom of this post, God bless you! I was just so excited about these images it was impossible to stop at just a few!
