Laura + Sean 05.07.10

This wedding was fantastic because it was simple and elegant. Laura and Sean are a really sweet laid back couple and the whole ambiance of the wedding reflected their personal style. And thank goodness they were so laid back because Mother Nature was not cooperating on their big day!! The ceremony was supposed to be outside on the gorgeous Addison Oaks grounds, but thunderstorms prevented it. We held out hope for as long as possible but finally we gave in and turned the reception area into the ceremony area. The ceremony was very dramatic with the thunder and lightning in the background with all the giant windows overlooking the grounds. The Addison Oaks staff is amazing and flipped the room back in all of 5 minutes. Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of the completed room since we were so busy flipping, so I will leave those pictures to the professional photographer Heather Somes! Here are some details I really liked

Cupcake tree... I may or may not have been covered in frosting at one point.

The bride's beautiful bouquet. The calla lilies were amazing!

Escort card and gift table


Beautiful single orchid in a small square vase with some black rocks... so simple but so pretty.

Laura's dad made a great slideshow with pictures from Laura and Sean the early years. It was played during dinner.

Thank you so much Laura and Sean for letting me be a part of your big day! You are a fantastic couple and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
