april & patrick - may 19, 2007
april and patrick were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous wedding day. in her toast, the maid of honor mentioned how april was worried that something was going to go wrong, but none of her fears came true and the day was practically perfect in every way. even the rain that was predicted for the whole day held off until everyone was safe and sound inside at the reception. everyone was so easy-going and fun to photograph that it made it really hard for me to be able to only select a few for the blog. i keep telling myself that is a good problem to have :-)
just a couple of my favorites of april and patrick for starters:
i love the detail on the bodice of her dress:
sometimes it takes a lot of help to make sure that a wedding dress gets on just right:
april is a die-hard green bay packers fan. she even had a special garter made as a surprise for pat, who is a die-hard philadelphia eagles fan:
taking some time out to read with her niece:
a ring picture travelogue:
april was a great sport and we took this one in the church basement bathroom. sometimes unusual locations can lend themselves to great images:
after seeing each other for the first time:
the whole day there were just cute kids everywhere, which is a photographer's dream. here is their flower girl:
and the ringbearer:
april & patrick lighting the unity candle:
exiting the church, surrounded by bubbles:
in the limo:
april's brother and sister-in-law unable to make it because of a surgery, but they were there in spirit, and the whole group sent their wishes to her:
the newlyweds:
i love this shot of april:
...and this one of pat, too:
mmmmm...cake:
one of april's bridesmaids put together a great slideshow for the reception that caused a lot of laughter and a few tears:
their first dance as husband and wife:
patrick and the maid of honor sharing a laugh:
i love both of their reactions to april's garter. priceless!
congratulations, april & patrick. i hope you have an amazing time in st. lucia and best of luck with the new house!
