One of my favorite parts of shooting the wedding day is hangin’ with the guys while they are “getting ready”. It’s a very different scene then that of the bride, that’s for sure. They mosey in, some already dressed, take about ten minutes to finish prepping the hair, put on each other’s cuff links, and are ready to go! It’s a great time to get to know the guys because they are usually super relaxed and just plain chill.
Some groomsmen are quiet, some are a little camera shy, but Kurt warned me that wouldn’t be the case with Tom. As Tom strolls into the house, taking each step, each movement as a chance to pose, I knew Kurt was beyond right. No joke, I could post so many photos of that morning, let alone the day, but I’ll keep it somewhat brief.
When I got to the Ebell, I was ready to find the girls. My first glance at Julie just made me smile. Not only did she look absolutely stunning, she was radiating excitement. I knew why! 
You can tell so much about them both from their first look…
Tom & Julie’s families were a blast! You know I have to capture the kids, happy…
and not so happy.
Kurt is the bomb at the bridal party photos. He comes up with the most artistic shots on the fly, I love watching him shoot. I knew he had that covered so I took a few from my view.
So I REALLY try not to cry during the ceremony, first of all because I need to be shooting, second of all because its embarrassing. Well, at this one I may have shed a tear or two, but I was literally laughing out the loud too; it was amazing. 
This wedding overall was so much fun! The reception was classically beautiful, the toasts had my laughing and crying again, and the food was phenomenal. It was nice getting to know Julie better and to experience the wonderful people she surrounds herself with. 
Thank you! Also, I was really happy to have my dose of Lisa of Dolores Ann Events, she made the day just that much better!
