Matt & Allison

One of the first of many weddings this season...and what a spectacular wedding it was! While the other photographer was with the girls in the morning, I was with the guys! I'm pretty sure this has been one of the largest wedding parties I have photographed yet...especially in the morning when the photos included the ushers as well!






I loved the colors they chose...a deep deep vibrant purple....and all of the decor at the wedding was stunning! The brides aunt has a real trendy Martha Stewart eye for decorating...so at the alter instead of a traditional flower archway she had three huge empty white picture frames with a chandelier hanging from the middle...
The aisle was adorned with candles sitting in tall dark iron holders (which reminded me of beautiful lampstands) decorated with a beautiful purple ribbon topped off with a teardrop crystal!...The ambiance was so romantic...









For group and bridal photos we were at the amazing Swan-E-Set Bay Resort and Country Club








Some of the details at the reception included a candy bar complete with goody bags to fill, beautiful tall flower centerpieces filled with grapes instead of rocks to add a splash of color and a beautifully designed cake complete with their initials sitting on the first tier....oh and not to mention a three piece jazz band who totally rocked!






I love being able to sneak the bride and groom away during the reception...I snapped this quick photo from below, while holding onto a studio light to help cast beautiful dramatic shadows...(not bad for one handed photography!!)



after some great music and dancing by all who attended...what a better way to end the night than with a stunning departure? They ran off into the night...after changing into another fabulous outfit while all the guests lit sparklers and congratulated them on their amazing day!
