Jacki + Steve 05.22.10

I'm grounded, I know. It has been over a week since Jacki and Steve's wedding and I am just now blogging it. Sorry kids! But their wedding was worth the wait, I promise! This was one of the most beautifully breathtaking outdoor ceremony locations I have ever seen. With an incredibly beautiful bride and groom... it was just plain perfect (ok maybe it was a touch hot outside!).  The rain stopped early enough so that everything dried up and the sun was shining.

The purples at the reception venue were gorgeous... but I am pretty partial to the stunning pie buffet. What? Pies can be stunning! There were about 20 different kinds of pie and the guests were totally in love with this dessert idea. I loved the head table decor. It was basically varying heights of cylinder vases with rocks, water, and a floating candle. So simple but it gave the table a really cool look when the light died down.

I will say this, the wedding guests were into partying! Tons of dancing and lots of cheering thru the evening and then on to the after party in the restaurant bar downstairs. It was a fantastic group of friends and family.

To the new Mr. and Mrs., it was a pleasure working with you and I hope that you keep in touch. I really enjoyed seeing the day unfold and I cannot wait to see the rest of your professional pictures.   ♥Shelly
