fabulous/not-so-fabulous….renee and justin || londonderry, nh

Last entry is from Renee & Justin who had a perfectly executed day in their very own backyard with a little help from Alexis.

“Not so fab: you know it’s funny I am sure there were some things that weren’t fabulous. But they have faded away in the past year and a half.

I guess the weather could have been a nightmare with the thunderstorms. I am pretty sure I was annoyed with it at one point. But it cleared up, and the party went on.”

“So fab:
We were fortunate enough to have our reception at home. I look in our backyard and am flooded with awesome memories of that day. It was bit more work to plan, but I am so happy we were able to have it there.

On our anniversary we sat on our back deck going through the pictures and just reminisced about everything.”

“Also, you may have noticed a tear (or 500) in my eyes that day. One of those times was when I heard the first few notes of the dance I had with my dad. It was a total surprise. He got our dj’s phone number and told him, but I was in the dark. When “Tiny Dancer” started, I couldn’t help but cry.

It was a cd that he gave me in jr. high and we’d play it all the time when he’d take me to dance class. It was one of my favorite parts of the night.”

“I loved our wedding cakes. They were so beautiful. We ordered way too much, so we got to eat it for a few days before we left for our honeymoon. We actually had our family over the next day to help us eat it. Mmmm cake.”

Most of all, I got to marry my best friend. It was surreal and amazing walking down th aisle to meet Justin at the alter. But-he promised if I walked to Canon in D, he’d cry. He totally didn’t though!”

Thanks Renee! This is the last entry, so I will announce the random winner on Thursday, and then the post with the most comments by midnight on April 7th will be the second winner.

Good luck!

Meg and Joe || Omni Parker House || Boston, MA

I had a fantastic start to my wedding season a few weeks ago! Meg is from this area, but currently living in St. Louis. She found me through a friend, and I only met her in person the week of the wedding. We started off at her parent’s house…
I loved her dress….she got it at Allegria Bridal, and they attached custom straps on to it for her –

Meanwhile, her brother was hamming it up with the bridesmaids by the antique car.

Loved the light in the church.

We did a lot of the pictures right next to the church, it was a great location!

Kelly took this picture of me photographing Meg & Joe – too bad I don’t have fun when I’m working!

But seriously, when you are shooting a couple this adorable, of course it’s fun!

Meg saw this one on the website and wanted to be sure she got a picture under the sign!

OK, now here’s where I reveal my family-photo dorkiness. I saw a couple of old-timey photographs at Meg’s mom’s house….

I love these pictures! I remember doing one with my friend Jen in Florida when we were 16. Right before they entered the reception, I was looking around at the great old room we were in, and thought it would be so fun to make another one for them. What do you think?

Greg Hodges was the DJ (you can see him waaaay to the right), so of course there was NO problem getting great dancing pics. He was mixing one song into the next, it was super-fun (and I wasn’t even dancing…I swear).

I should also mention Lynne was the videographer and was fantastic, as usual….you won’t see her in any pics because she keeps a low profile. Also, Alexis was there with her team making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish – makes my day easier!

Meg and Joe, I had a fantastic time with you guys! I hope you had a fabulous time in Hawaii, can’t wait for you to see the rest.
