It's really hard to believe that it's been 1 week and 1 day since we posted Brigitte's wedding - sorry, we've been a little bad on blogging this month.
This wedding is one of our favorite weddings of the whole year -- it was also the last wedding we shot in 2009. We left for Jamaica the day after this wedding, so it was a wild, but a great way to end 2009.
One of the funniest things was that we saw Mary & Dave in the airport at 6 am the next morning as they were leaving for their honeymoon AND they were on our return flight coming home!
Anyway, Mary & Dave got married at beautiful venue, Whitestone Inn in Kingston, TN. Even though it was barely 20 degrees that day, it was still a great day and a great place to shoot. And, while a 20 degree day could be a challenge, Mary & Dave were total troopers --- and so was their wedding party. Thanks guys!! We had a great time with all of you!!
Ok, lots of pictures to get to. We normally start off with the ladies but I thought we'd switch it up a bit. Here is Dave getting ready, which probably took all of 3 minutes... Guys don't know how easy they have it!
Because the girls on the other hand take a bit longer :)
Mary & Dave had a huge wedding party! This is half of them!
Mary & Dave decided to see each other before the ceremony, which was great for us because we had plenty of light to work with (it get's dark at about 5:30 for anyone planning a wedding after Daylight Saving Time ends). Here is their first look.
What do you do with 20 young, energetic people?
Love this kind of groomsmen shot :)
If you haven't seen them, check out Mary & Dave's engagement photos, it was definitely one of our favorite sessions of the year. Love her super-happy, content, look in the one below.
The bridesmaids were freezing at this point!
It was great when it came time to do Mary & Dave by themselves because we had a good 45 mins planned into the schedule. It was awesome because we actually had time to go down to this spot and best of all they weren't thinking about wanting to be at the reception. That's another reason it's sometimes good to see each other -- so you can enjoy this little time together and focus on each other, not wonder if everyone is waiting for you... So Dan spotted this great location---he always find THE BEST places! I have THE BEST husband!
Gosh I love their looks! Look at Mary's face on the left!
super cute...ok I'll stop talking...
l just think Dave's face is hysterical in this one, especially since we didn't tell him to make that face or anything.
This is the girls' praying before the ceremony -- the hands are Mary & her mom.
This is that special moment when they opened the doors to the sanctuary and she sees Dave and you can see the water in her eyes -- aaaah!
The groomsmen did this during the reception:
First dance...
...followed by a very well executed performance by Mary & the bridesmaids. Mary started off lip-syncing Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" and then the BMs followed in --- it looked totally professional, may already be a YouTube hit and I don't even know it!
Dave's groom's cake. As you may have been able to see from his wrapped car, Dave is obsessed with hot rods.
Mary's sister Pua was hilarious! She was leading the party the whole day.
Cute.
Mary & Dave had our favorite DJ - his name is Jim Ogle, you can find him here.
The End! Congrats Mary & Dave! Thanks so much for having us!! xo
