We are coming up on the one month anniversary of Marci and Andrew tying the knot! I just put the finishing touches on their wedding album and sent it off to be printed, and decided it was time to share them with y'all on the blog too, so here you go!
Like most weddings, we started with the "getting ready" shots. I grabbed the dress to do a few of it while the bridesmaids were getting themselves together.
I returned the dress to the bridal suite and documented the bride and bridesmaids getting ready. Marci was joined by her 3 beautiful bridesmaids, 5 gorgeous girls, plus the two flower girls.
Then, while the ladies did their finishing touches, it was on to catch up with the groom and groomsmen in the reception space. Since they were mostly ready upon arrival, we captured a few of the groom as he added his finishing touches as well.
With just a few minutes to spare before the ceremony began, we captured a few details from the reception space!
Now, for the ceremony. It started with Andrew walking down the aisle, escorting his aunts (which was an incredibly touching and special moment for them), followed by the bridal party, and of course last but certainly not least was Marci and her daughters, all in white.
Now for my personal favorite moment of any wedding: the groom's reaction to seeing his bride. Now, I know men don't like to be emotional, but I think it's proven fact that the men who don't tear up at least a little bit for this moment at their weddings probably have no heart or feelings at all. So fellas, just keep that in mind. Also, as a woman who has been the bride, this is basically the whole point of the wedding, okay? Let your bride see you break down just a little bit when you see her--it proves she made the right decision.
Now for the heartfelt hugs and sentimental moments between mama and each of her girls.
Now for the ceremony. The saying of the vows. The exchanging of the rings. The pouring of the sand.
And, of course, the KISS!
Immediately following the ceremony we did the formal portraits with the wedding party and the family. It was a quite warm day and everyone was ready to ditch their formal wear as soon as they were allowed! We did everything but the bride and groom's formal portraits, which I elected to wait until sunset for (and you will see why in just a bit).
Then for the entry of the bridal party, and the introduction of the new Mr. and Mrs. Nemec!
Then onto dinner and the cake!
