Keith and Monica's wedding was a great celebration with family and friends.
We started the day out with the girls getting their hair done at the Marriott.
It was fun conversation as all of the girls in he bridal party, moms and flower
girl got their hair and makeup done. Mr. Barns made a delicious electric
skillet breakfast for everyone.
After hair and makeup it was off to St. Thomas More Church. There the girls
got dressed while the gentlemen and guests arrived. During the ceremony, it
started to rain. Good think for old legends that say rain on your wedding day
means good luck! After the ceremony, with an adorable flower girl that LOVED
being the center of everyone's attention ;-), we braved the raindrops to blow
bubbles for the bride and groom.
Pictures were started at a local park with a gazebo to stay out of the rain.
The best part? They had PROPS! I
love props. We played around with a
'Just Married' sign and an '&' sign for some great pictures. After the
park, we went to visit their grandmother in the hospital. We were allowed to
take some pictures since she wasn't well enough to come to the ceremony. It
took everything I had not to start crying on the spot. Taking those pictures
were probably one of the hardest things I've done. We said our goodbyes and
went to Edgewater Park for the rest of the pictures. Monica was excited to show
off her purple rain boots while playing in the puddles. Although it stopped
raining, the overcast sky and biting wind made taking pictures difficult for
everyone there. Pictures were fun, despite the cold. Everyone stayed in good
spirits and tried their hardest to not look too cold in the pictures.
We wrapped up the evening at Michaud's. Dinner was delicious, toasts were
heartwarming and the atmosphere was relaxed. The DJ played the shoe game with
the newlywed couple, making revelations about each other quite hilarious.
Dancing, fun, and laughter filled the hall the entire evening. Despite the
rain, it was a blast to photograph Keith and Monica's wedding.
