On September 22, Erica and Michael became husband and wife.  Everything was perfect, and there was a wonderful celebration at Pine Lakes after the ceremony.  Kelly from Little Shop of Flowers made the amazing bouquets and floral arrangements.  Ann Brooke McCall made the cake and Ice Box Productions provided music and kept the crowd going.  Her amazing dress came from Fancy Frocks.

I really could go on and on about how beautiful everything was…but I’ll show you instead

OMG!!!   How cool is this????  LOVE.

OK.  The girls not only looked amazing, but they were fun to work with.  Great group!

Yup.  The guys were looking sharp too!

The light was perfect at Pine Lakes……and wow did they look great!

First of all, would like to give a shout out to Kelly at Little Shop of Flowers…for the BEAUTIFUL flowers!! The wonderful staff of Pine Lakes , Cocoadots for the cake, Sandy’s gown came from Amanda’s, Wally B for being a great DJ as always and Judge Buffy.  Sandy, as you will see, was STUNNING.

Every wedding has it’s own pace and ‘flavor’.  Each is very unique, and I love watching how each couples day unfolds.  Sandy and Rich’s day was for sure…filled with laughter!  Everyone had a wonderful time at this wedding.  While the entire wedding party was great to work with, and very entertaining…it was defiantly those boys you had to watch out for!  They were up to shenanigans all day long.  As is often the case, a picture is worth 1000 words.  I am going to show you mostly the funnier side of this wedding….though there were for sure very tender moments.  Take a look!

OMG!  I’m still laughing.  I can’t even tell you about the picture he was showing me!

Um…..this was while we were doing the girls pictures.  Rofl.

The boys as they were coming down the aisle…..

And the fun continues……

Amanda & John…..wow.  I really loved this wedding.  First of all, Amanda is drop dead gorgeous to begin with.  Add the stunning gown she picked out, the beautiful make-up Cameron Brooks did, hair style by Victor DeLeon…. looking at her just took your breath away!

Then there was John.  Pretty darn good looking as well.  What a beautiful couple!

The day was very emotional. Amanda has a room full of bridesmaids who were fun, and who adored Amanda.  They were looking out for her, and really ready to celebrate her marriage.  Her parents, thought she looked gorgeous, which, she did.  You could tell how close they were.

A AWESOME line up of vendors included:  Grande Dunes and especially Michael, Jake Hallonquist (DJ), Tom Buccieri (officiant & flowers) Janet Adams (cake).

A very incredible day for sure!  Thank you so much Amanda and John, for choosing me to capture your day.  I loved every minute of it!
