Here’s another wedding from last season that I had the privilege of photographing. Andrea and Jonathan were married in August at the Edgwood Country Club in the Fireside Room and their reception followed in the club’s ballroom. I started with Jonathan and the guys in their hotel room. Jonathan had everything in order and was just about ready to go when I arrived. I was glad to get a few shots of him putting on his bow tie.

Meanwhile Andrea was getting ready in her room just down the hall. It had a much different feel with half a dozen of her closest friends and family buzzing around and attending to all the details. This is my favorite moment when she pulled the bird cage veil over her eyes. Her bridesmaids were helping her and this is where they get it just right.

I’m showing favorite images from weddings I did over the last year, so this isn’t a complete set from the beginning to the end of the day. This is one of my very favorites, but I didn’t really notice it until recently after I had gone back through the wedding. It’s funny the way you look at things can really change over time. Andrea and Jonathan just look so content and peaceful here. To me, that’s just what you should be on your wedding day.

After the ceremony, we didn’t have to travel far for portraits on the lovely golf course. Here’s where they get a little playful. I love to see a bride and groom flirt.

The wind totally cooperated with us that day. It was blowing in just the right direction—nice!

Ok, this lovely on-location session didn’t last that long because we could see a big rain cloud moving in. So they’re off to celebrate at the reception!
