Natalie + Mike

Natalie and Mike were married at Jones Crossing on an absolutely gorgeous day. We had never been to Jones Crossing before, and I have to say that we really liked it! It's an all in one banquet center with plenty of space for getting reading, the ceremony, and the reception.

When Ken and I arrived, we immediately found the girls surrounded by hairspray and makeup galore. This part of the wedding day is one of my favorites to shoot! The talented Sarah Jackson provided the makeup.



There's the happy bride!


Natalie's gorgeous gown.


Seriously, what's not to love about classic black and white getting ready photos? Natalie, you are beautiful!



Natalie's mom did the honors here.


Her shoes were fit for a princess and complimented her gown perfectly.


I was in love with her bouquet, so you'll be seeing lots of photos of it. All flowers were provided by J.P. Parker.



Their rings and the invitation...


Isn't their invitation suite fabulous? Love the Tiffany blue.



Their first look:


They exchanged gifts right after their first look. Mike surprised Natalie with a gorgeous bracelet.



I love the colors here.


This is pure happiness and one of my favorites of the day.



Another favorite.


So sweet!!!


Handsome groom!


I told you I had a thing for her bouquet.


Stunning.


I was all up in their business for a few minutes during the ceremony. (Natalie and Mike, I hope you didn't mind.)



I loved their reception centerpieces, too.


Yummy cake.

And my view of their first dance.


I love this shot of the father daughter dance. Love it!!!


Ken told me not to post this crazy photo but I'm not listening to him. This little piece of art was an accident. The DJ had some crazy lights, it was dark, and I didn't exactly nail the focus here -- lol. I love it anyway. It's colorful and shows the mood. And it reminds me a little of this. Call me crazy, but I personally think it would make an awesome metallic canvas.


Because the DJ had an awesome light show going on, I was able to capture some killer flare. (Yes, all of that was done in camera.)


Y-M-C-A! That's a good looking M, Natalie!


Natalie and Mike, we had a blast at your wedding! We love being around you guys. We wish you eternal love, happiness, and friendship.
