Everyone's friends should take a lesson in how to give a gift from these gals...
Abby begrudgingly donned a veil...
Look at all the ladies!
Our dashing groom...
And all his handsome fellas!
This picture was Abby's idea. She wanted to do a picture of the two of them on either side of a door before the ceremony, unable to see each other yet right next to each other. Well, the Crystal Garden at the Castle is all glass! No doors fit the bill. We improvised with a bit of drapery. I think it turned out very cool...
Melonbelly provided the entertainment. These guys provide the best of both worlds- live music for the ceremony and reception, as well as a full DJ set-up so you can have the complete wedding experience of doing the Soulja Boy. Be sure to check them out!

Here's a beautiful take on the "unity sand" idea that has been so popular with outdoor weddings these past couple of years. Abby and Andrew each poured sand into one half of this hourglass...
At the reception, wedding portraits from Abby and Andrew's parents and grandparents were on display. We took this picture in "old timey" style. I think it's a nice homage to their ancestors...
You know it's a rollicking party when dad gets up and sings Elvis songs with the band (and yes- Melonbelly was able to handle this too!). While from the outside it might look like a drunken display of karaoke, Abby's dad was actually recreating a scene from her childhood. It turns out that a five year old Abby and several friends were snowed in for a slumber party and dad had to improvise some hip-swivelin' entertainment. Since Abby is one of those lucky gals who is still friends with the same people as when she was five, dad re-created the moment for us all. He did a great job!
Congratulations to Abby and Andrew! Have an awesome time in Bora Bora!

This was the most gorgeous wedding I have ever witnessed! The setting, decor, wedding party and bridal couple were "magazine cover" worthy. It's a great example of a couple so right for each other and so full of love for each other. Your pictures are fantastic...you capture the beauty and happpiness of it all.
...will take your breath away...
