I love every wedding and every client. Really I do. I get the chance to get to know and hang out with each and every couple, and by the end of the wedding I ALWAYS feel attached to them. Well these two were pretty awesome, and this was one of my favorite events EVER. I went to high school with Molly, although we knew and were friends with a lot of the same people, we never actually hung out, or got to know each other. And now, I am sad I didn't get that chance, but so happy that I got to know her over the past year, via phone consults, Facebook, and the wedding process.
Lets start with one of the coolest little add ons any of my clients has ever done. We sent Tad to the bachelor party to capture all the fun, friends, and laughter. And man oh man, the photos and the story came out fabulous. I highly recommend this add on to everyone. These are some of my favorite photos from any event ever. (yes I have said that like 3 times - but oh well) The event was at Old Familiar Barber Shop in Ohio (HOH will travel anywhere for your wedding!)
Yep - that is Tad in the mirror. He had so much fun, and Tad and Dustin got along so well that for this wedding, I left in the photos that we ended up in (per request of the groom.) :)
One of Tad's favorites from the event, he thinks that Dustin should get this printed on metal and hang it above his fireplace.
Tad came home from this bachelor party so excited for the wedding the next day. (Yes I had to put his jeans and some of our camera gear outside to air out :), he smelled like an old fashioned barber shop and a mixture of home distilled whiskey (how cool) and delicious cigars.
It is said that rain on your wedding day is good luck. The day-of was raining all morning, enough that the ceremony got moved inside. It happens, but usually works out awesome. The rain cleared, and that is my favorite kind of light ever. Glowy - post rain- sun at dusk...it does not get any better. But first, here are a few of the ceremony, even inside, it was perfection.
Now lets talk about the reception (I promise glowing post rain photos soon). Both Dustin and Molly planned litter surprises for each other. Here was another first for me, Dustin had the Jeni's Ice Cream truck come to the reception!
Oh, and it keeps getting better and better, here are some from the reception....
Tad rocked the cupcake photos.
Ok that light? Well here it starts!
And I leave you with some of my most favorite photos ever. No joke. Thank you so much Molly & Dustin, we loved being able to capture your day!
