It was a beautiful day in all aspects. Ashton & Jennifer, thank you for making me a part!
*Warning: Possibly the most photo-heavy post in the history of the blogosphere. View at your own risk!* :-) Special thanks to Laura for her wonderful second-shooting job! Several of these snaps are hers!
Little curly haired photographer in the making!
If this cutie pie in curlers doesn't make your day, I am so sorry for you. You must lead a very sad life.
That shot on the left was too funny to leave off (thanks Laura for catching it!)... the single hitch in the whole day (that I was aware of anyway) was that the groomsmen's boutonnieres kept falling apart. Never fear, though - hair mousse works wonderfully as a boutonniere-sticker-back-together agent. :-)
They opted for a first look, which allowed them to relax and spend time together, AND get more pictures! Plus, Jennifer planned 2 hours in for portraits! It was wonderful!
Yes. I was dying (in a good way).
She was surprised!
The groomsmen put up a slideshow of a pretty hilarious email thread they had going before the wedding... long story short, it involved afro wigs, tattoos, and shorts. After the slideshow presentation, loud music came on, and....
Memorable, to say the least. :-)
This was the sweetest thing. They were all set to dance and her dad just broke down completely. There was hardly a dry eye in the room!
The outstanding group of young gents who waited on the tables! They did a phenomenal job!
