Wedding: Kathy & Mike: Part One

 I had the pleasure of photographing Kathy and Mike's wedding at the beautiful Washington's Crossing Inn in April.  Everything about this wedding was absolutely gorgeous; from the invitations, rings, flowers, venue and especially that dress!!! I was very thankful and lucky to have Emily of Erh Photography there to help me with everything! We had a great time on our first joint wedding! We especially loved all those details in the beginning and put the rings everywhere! So, the first post has a lot of those up close detail shots I love so much, to really get you into the feel of the whole wedding! Enjoy!

My favorite ring shot! Love the colorful flowers!

The moms' first reaction to the bride in her dress! LOVE this!

The bride and her daughter, waiting to walk down the isle!

Love this happy shot of the groom and his daughter!

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

I have been to many, many weddings these past few years.  Each one with it's own style. Some were very formal, some colorful, some simple, some casual.  I loved every one of them. The thing that really made them stand apart from each other were all the details.  Every bride (or groom, mom, wedding planner, best friend, ect..) agonizes over hundreds of little details that, to some people, might go unnoticed or unappreciated.  Well, I am here telling you all...I LOVE THE DETAILS! I love the different colors of the flowers, the center pieces, tux designs, shoes, favors, cake designs, everything! There are so many different ways to go about them all; even when you don't have a lot of details, the simplicity of the wedding itself is a detail! And I have seen so many, from hand made center pieces, mason jars (my favorite), homemade favors (like Limocello!) and a that fun cake topper to show your personalities, to remembering a lost loved one, family pieces that have been on wedding cakes of many weddings before yours, and that bit of sparkle to make your day extra special.
So, this post is all about the little things that make your special day really show off you! It's to all of you that spent all those hours trying to find, or make, that extra special something that means so much to you. And it's to let you know, it means so much to me too!
