A Picture’s Worth | Photo Blog

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day for a wedding! Laura and Steve were the kindest, sweetest, most loving couple. We had such a wonderful time with them and I’ve been working on this sneak peek for the last couple days trying to narrow the wedding down into a handful of pictures. It was hard, so you’ll just have to make sure to view the slideshow when I get that ready because there will be many more moments to share. Here are the few I chose to show today:

The coolest thing about Laura’s wedding gown is that is was made from her mother’s dress. It was beautiful and so perfect for Laura.




Laura and Steve were married at the beautiful Inn at St John’s in Plymouth. The chapel there is amazing with it’s reflective tile floors, beautiful lighting and stained glass windows.






I told the girls “talk amongst yourselves” right after we did a “look at the camera” shot. This is what I got. These girls were perfect all day long! Loved them!

Somebody’s ready to finish pictures and party! 😉

Their reception was also held there at the Inn in one of their beautiful banquet halls.


They decided to cut their cute cake as soon as they entered the reception. Then funny and heartfelt speeches were given by Laura’s dad, the maid of honor and the best man followed by a prayer for the meal.


The details were just beautiful. The nature theme is one of my favorites. Loved the candles hanging from the branches. Tables were identified by years. Each card listed events that took place during that year and on the opposite side was a picture from either Laura or Steve’s family and something that happened that year. Some of the cards had wedding pictures of their parents and grandparents along with the date they were married. Another very cool thing they did was to appoint a friend to walk around from table to table with a guest book for everyone to sign. Each page had a space for a picture so she would take each person/couple’s picture to be printed and put in the book later next to what they wrote. Loved that. And the sunglasses were a huge hit! People were dancing around in them all night.

First dance as husband and wife!

I love this moment during Laura’s dance with her dad.

Steve hugging his mom after their dance.

The rest of the night, there was a lot of this and this …

… and a little of this and this, too.

Laura and Steve, I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved your wedding. You two are so special and I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to work with people like you, who truly care and show such kindness. Hope you’re having a fabulous honeymoon in the Greek Isles. I’m completely jealous! 🙂
