Lauren+Mike: married!

A local wedding... and such a classy family. I was a little worried that the reception would be dry...it wasn't. It was absolutely kicking. In fact, I had the pleasure of working, once again, with Sugar the Band, and they rocked so hard and so loud that there must have been 100 people on the dance floor most of the time. Questions on building codes and weight capacity on one side of the building popped briefly into my head, it was just that much bass and dancing and blessing. It was really amazing.

Lauren used her Mother's veil, so long and gorgeous. She also, as I heard tell, took this piece from her Mothers' dress to decorate the bouquet. Lovely idea.

Love from the bridesmaids...

Self reflection before the aisle.

Pretty church, huh? I was delegated to shooting from the balcony and also through a keyhole cutout in the door. Since it was just me.. that was a lot of running around (soundlessly I might add) up and down the steps in wedges and toting two cameras. I am so cool.

I have not been using my fish eye much this year...but it sure came in handy when the dance floor was too packed for me.

Sorority sisters... I think this is how they call their own husbands? lol

There were so many cute kiddos totally grooving right along with their older counterparts...

Another wonderful idea. Each table was decorated with personal childhood pictures. This one just begs to have its' story told. I love it.

And a parting shot...the female lead singer of the band may not like. I really dug her shoes and legwarmers...if you must know.

And that's my story of Lauren and Mike's wedding day in Sanford and Carthage. Congratulations to each couples family and I pray for blessings on your union. More pictures next week!
