Whew!! It has been a whirlwind of a couple months... you guys that know me well know that I've had a pretty crazy ride throughout May and June! Soooo many wonderful weddings, a new office on Gay Street downtown, and time with really amazing friends. I haven't gotten to blog quite as much as I'd like, but I have the next two weekends off... and I fully intend to not only get CAUGHT UP... but also to spend some time with you guys... my future and former brides and all other blog-lovin' folks around. I know I say this alot, but I am one lucky girl. I realize fully how blessed I am to get to be on this amazing journey of a business and to get to spend time with such cool and unique people on the most important day of their lives. My Memorial day weekend this year (yeah, I'm a little behind) was one of my most memorable (no pun intended, haha) in a long time. I'm blogging the first of those two weddings right now... and the other will follow later in the week. I absolutely fell in love with both of the couples (and especially the brides). So, meet Alison and Brandon first...
Alison has such a strong, close-knit, fun group of girlfriends... it is actually my second wedding within the group...
We call this the "mary poppins"
I adore the range of emotion in these next three pics...
A little behind-the-scenes goodness... She's a brave girl... red Powerade and Wedding dresses should never-ever be in the same vicinity... especially while laughing.
I think some of my favorite moments from so many weddings revolve around the pre-ceremony prayer... there are always tears shed and I am always touched by the immensity of the love. It rained on the wedding day... I mean, BIG heavy rain... and the reception was held to be held outdoors in a field... Alison wasn't sure if the rain would ruin all of the reception plans, but when she prayed, she thanked God for the rain... for its ability to cleanse and refresh. I was absolutely floored and amazed by her grace. Turns out... it only rained during the ceremony...and the reception site just five minutes down the road had barely gotten a sprinkle of rain.
LOVE this look she is giving her dad just as he handed her off...
Yep... they DANCED back down the aisle!!
The fog hanging out after the rain made for some PERFECT lighting!
And sorry... I couldn't resist showing the best groom's cake toppers ever... theologian bobble-heads. Too funny.
Happy Wedding Alison and Brandon!!! And thank you for your grace, love and warmth.
