The wedding of Jennifer and Chris, Roswell, GA

Saturday, June 5, 2010
Roswell, Georgia

I arrived at Roswell Presbyterian Church to find the florist just finishing up her final touches. The colors were bold, creative, fun with a mix of spring green, fushcia, and yellow. It was so fresh and fantastic. The flowers were designed by Magnolia Street Floral in Roswell.

The guys were in the back getting on vests, jackets and such; the church wedding director helped them with their boutinierres. Chris looked slightly nervous but very excited to see his bride. We shot a few fun shots with the guys and then Chris was anxious to get his wedding gift to Jennifer, which was delivered by his brother. Jennifer was brought to tears as she read the touching card and opened the gift -- earrings to match her ring. Just the perfect final touch for a beautiful bride. Outside the bride's room the groom was being given his gift from Natalie, the Maid of Honor -- a beautiful pair of cufflinks for this special day.

After working with the guys and the girls for pre-ceremony photos, it was time to line up for the ceremony. Jennifer was lovely in her white gown. It had pleats at the bodice and fit her perfectly, but the most amazing thing about her gown was that it had pockets! Isn't that something every bride wants? A little place to tuck away some lipstick and a few tissues.

Jennifer was escorted down the aisle by her father, Ken, as tears welled up in the eyes of the whole family. Ken gave her a kiss and presented her to Chris. The ceremony ended with a touching kiss and they fled down the aisle.

After some formal family photos, a tradition held by Moments in Time Photography, it was time for some fun! We took some fun shots in front of the chapel and around the towering columns and then the bride and groom were whisked away to the reception by the limo. We arrived at Naylor Hall to family and friends greeting them on the historic front porch.

All the traditions were upheld, first dance, cake cutting, toast, bouquet and garter. It was time for some fun and celebration. Next, Jennifer and Chris get ready to leave for their honeymoon in Key West. I'll be in my office getting the photos ready for viewing online and anxiously awaiting their approval!

See you next time!
