Two lawyers walked into a whiskey distillery... no that's not the beginning of a joke, it's the story of Anna and Gabe's wedding day last weekend! I had the honor of capturing their beautiful wedding day at the Stave Room at American Spirit Works. I love when you have a certain vision in your head of the way a wedding will flow and it ends up being completely different than you had imagined. With two lawyers you'd think you'd have a fairly tame event right? Wrong! Anna and Gabe know how to throw a party and the Stave Room was the perfect setting for them to tie the knot and dance the night away with their family and friends. Walking into the room while the ladies were getting ready was a cloudy mix of steam and hairspray, but once everyone was ready and all the dresses were wrinkle-free - everything kicked into overdrive. I met Anna's mom over at the Stave Room to photograph Anna's dress before the ladies headed our way. A dress always photographs best when it is ON the bride, but I like to find creative ways to display it in all its glory as well... finding the right spot is the tricky part! Thankfully for me, one of my favorite couples happened to be touring the American Spirit Works distillery next door and Alex, my vertically gifted groom, graciously helped me get the dress hung exactly where I wanted it! [Seriously, Kristi and Alex - come to all the weddings and bring the folks. I need my cheerleaders with me all the time now!] Once the dress was off the hanger and onto our gorgeous bride it was soon time to send these two down the aisle and into married life! As the sun was setting, we took the newlyweds out for portraits and it was so special to see how excited they were to finally be married. Anna and Gabe's friends described them as polar opposites, but I think these two are just the perfect balance to each other. Separately they bring out different qualities in each other but they're most definitely better together. After sweet dances and thoughtful toasts from their friends, the rest of the night was a blur of dancing, photobooth crashing, late night snacking and singing contests. Did I mention these lawyers know how to party? They capped off the night with a full dancefloor and huge smiles as they left! Anna and Gabe - thank you so much for letting me capture this special day! I hope you love these as much as I do!! Have so much fun in the Bahamas!!! Special thanks to Amanda of A.Bloch Photography for swapping places with me and running the show at the hotel while I headed to the Stave Room!!
