I first “met” Renée on the phone last May, and I was struck by her consistent references to family. She told me that she really wanted her wedding to be a wonderful, fun occasion that put family first. We met in person this May and I knew that our styles really matched up – little bit of formality, but mostly just fun, candid, details, etc. She told me that there would be a ton of personal touches and I was not let down… for starters, the flowers were all amazing! Definitely high in my “Top 5″ wedding flower schemes ever. She included a photo of her late father in her bouquet, which made it all the more beautiful.
I met her and her mom & bridesmaids at her family’s house up in Olcott Beach. Everyone seemed to feel comfortable with me right away and let me get a lot of great candid shots!
When we got to the Beaver Island Clubhouse I was greeted by wonderful colors – I love the blue & green, and the ribbon on the cake that matched the invitations!!
The ceremony was awesome. Very personal, beautiful singing, a few tears, and it ended with a corncob trophy. That’s right.
Formals! LOL at the kids. I did make a genuine attempt at a more “posey” photo of the three of them, but this was a much more accurate representation!
And finally, dancing!! Check out the pastor getting in on the butt-bumping action. Of course there are a ton more I could include, but I can’t upload them all!
Have fun in Hawaii and I’m really looking forward to putting your album together!
