Then we played around downtown before heading to Cafe Ole, where they went for their first date.  We got there early and they let us shoot around for a while.

Ok, on to the photos…

After a little break, they entered for some dancing and cake cutting before the festivities began.  Once things cooled down outside, we went outside to grab a few shots.  Then we went back in for some more dancing.  Finally, they headed home and we followed them to get them crossing the threshold.

Ok, on to the photos…

After a wonderful ceremony, we all went around for a few photos before the reception.  Then we headed over to Minglewood Hall, where everything looked wonderful.  They were great sports to sneak out for a couple more photos towards the end.

Ok, enough chatter.  On to the photos…

Darius and I headed out to Church of the Incarnation for Molly & Eric’s wedding.  We had great weather for when they had their private moment and then we got most of the group shots outdoors.  It was my first time shooting at the church, and I loved the gorgeous architecture.

After the ceremony, we all headed up the road to Woodland Hills for the reception.  I knew this crowd would party, and I was right.  Thanks for being so much fun.

Ok, on to the photos…

We started around their house, and then headed over to Shelby Farms (with a quick stop by Deli Mexicana to cool off that made Toro the pinata happy) before making a run to Target.  The whole evening was a lot of fun and we had barely realized how much time had passed by.

Ok, on to the photos…

After the ceremony, we stayed outside to play in the gorgeous light just before the sun set.  Then we went in and the party really got going.  Any couple who has Commisary’s amazing BBQ at their wedding is alright by me.

Then, we asked them to go with us out to grab a few more shots.  It took some persuading to talk our way onto Beale Street (wedding dresses don’t have pockets for IDs), but we got there and got a really great shot.

Once we got back a few minutes later, things really got crazy.  And finally, they headed out to sparklers.

Thanks again, you two, for being so much fun.  And also for being uber patient on seeing these.

Enough gabbing, on to the photos…

So, they get two posts for being so patient.  A big ole post will be up Sunday with even more.  But for now, here are some from the early part of the day that I loved.

On to ze pics…

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Darius and I headed out to the Botanic Garden for Janice & Bernard’s wedding.  After they saw each other, we headed out to take some fun portraits throughout the Gardens.  I loved their chemistry together and how they had a natural flow with each other.

Diane and Alisa had everything running smoothly.  After a gorgeous ceremony, we headed back to Hardin Hall and the party got started.  Everyone danced and had a great time until the couple was ready to leave.

Ok, enough talk.  On to the photos…

The moment at the start of the ceremony when Tiffany placed a flower in a chair for her dad brought tears to almost everyone’s eyes.  After a beautiful ceremony, we headed over to the reception and the party really got going.

Their band, 2nd Coming, were amazing and kept people on the dance floor all night.

Ok, on to the photos…

Enjoy…
