The weather threatened to rain...and in fact we felt several sprinkles during the day. We just decided that no matter what, we were still going to get a few outdoor pictures. All that moisture sure made the grass and trees look nice and dewy and vibrant...so that was a good thing.
Starting off with one of my favorite images.
Since it was a late afternoon wedding, we weren't sure if we would have enough light after the ceremony for the portraits. So when that is the case, I really encourage the bride and groom to see each other BEFORE the ceremony, in a "First Look." I sincerely feel that this contributes to a more relaxed bride and groom for the rest of the day. I picked a location that has good light, then place the groom in his spot. The bride approaches from behind and they get their "First Look" of each other. We try to keep this moment private. It's usually just the two of them. I'm taking pictures from a distance so that they can talk and connect with each other. It's very sweet.
Here is the sequence:
Patrick ... patiently waiting.
Sarah approaches.
They get to talk. Share their excitement with each other. Take a deep breathe. Refocus from hurry-get-here-don't-be-late-get-ready mode to we're-here-I-can't-believe-it's-happening-I'm-so-excited-to-be-getting-married-to-my-best-friend mode.
The venue was an all-inclusive type of place. Love that! The ceremony was outside. The grounds were picture perfect with water features, small creek, bridge, gazebo, lots of mature trees.

Comfy shoes....and adorable too.

I love this tree lined drive leading up to the house.

Thank you Sarah & Patrick for inviting me to document your wonderful day of love.
