I’m experimenting with some new blog formatting in this post so I can share more photos while saving space (and more importantly – time!) Let me know what you think.

They had such a fun first dance – they even had fully choreographed back-up dancers to help them out!

Everyone partied alllll night long.

Kelly had told us that she really liked this window and requested a few shots in front of it.

We had their pre-ceremony “first look” in the sanctuary. I love the grain that I get with high-ISO black and white images. I think it adds a depth and texture to the photo, so whenever we are shooting candidly using available light.. we embrace that grain!

The bear that Richard is holding has been a part of their relationship since the very beginning. His name is Richie, and Richard dressed him up a in tuxedo to surprise Kelly on the wedding day. Isn’t that sweet?

This little man got to hold a sword during some of the group shots, and he thought that was pretty cool.

St. Peter & Paul has the most incredible ceiling!

We love to follow the wedding party into their hiding room right after the ceremony, as that is the time when some of the most genuine moments will occur.

Over at the Walden Club, we were met with one of the funniest groomscakes we’ve ever seen. Mr. Staypuft on top just kills me. When they cut the cake, the DJ played the Ghostbusters theme.. who you gonna call?

Cutting the wedding cake..

They both took swings at each other, but utilizing finely-tuned skills of evasion, they both stayed clean!

After Kelly’s dad gave a heartfelt toast, I got this image of him collecting himself after returning to his seat. In the past, I have actually heard apologies from people for showing emotion in front of the cameras. The truth is, images that show real candid emotion are our absolute favorites.

I love dress details. The brooch is a family heirloom.

Even though Ben & Karly chose to see each other before their ceremony, they were still careful not to see each other before their “first look,” so everyone was careful that they did not cross paths while getting ready in the same house.

Karly’s dress had a beautiful lace train!

We took a short time for some relaxed lakeside shots with Ben & Karly and their wedding party

The sun came out through blue skies and puffy clouds for the ceremony. The little flower girl did her job perfectly and I couldn’t resist this shot of her.

The ring exchange

After they were all married up, the guests moved over to the outdoor tent for a barbeque reception. Instead of a traditional brides cake, Karly & Ben opted for a “tree” of these homemade cupcakes. I didn’t get around to trying one, but from the reactions of the guests – they were a big hit!

This little guy gave them his seal of approval

After everyone had eaten, Karly & Ben kicked off the dancing..

Thanks for having us there!!
