Janette & Rick – July 19, 2008

UPDATE: Proofs are now online here!

UPDATE: The preliminary album design is now online here!

Saturday was a hot day in West Lafayette! And St.Thom’s doesn’t have much in the way of air conditioning!

As you can imagine, however, that did not slow our activities down one bit.

Janette gets a little help from her sisters early on:

And pretty soon mom is on board, too.

Things were in full swing and before long it will be ceremony time!

But first Janette must get the dress on. A one-of-a-kind affair, it was made by our bride and mother with input from several people (more on that later). Layer one on and layer two in progress:

Layer three:

And some of the details, which were contributed by friends, a piece at a time:

I caught the gals in a very lovely moment just before the ceremony, not a posed shot, I called for their attention as they were walking away from me, I just happened to notice the light and the way they were grouped. I’m very pleased with this one!

Moving on, our ceremony begins with a handshake…

Some singing (and let me tell you, this was quite the musical wedding… is it any wonder, JP Hurt was there!)…

… and a romantic image:

Sealing the deal:

A quick laugh:

Ok, so if you’re reading this, you may well know that Janette and Rick are a… unique couple. LOL Perhaps nothing sums it up better than the groom’s cake? :0)

The rest of the decor was very nice indeed:

The lighting at The Trails delivers again, a couple of examples:

Another way of doing things just a little differently, our couple toast one another:

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday; I wouldn’t be surprised if this were a world record:

And we wrap things up with some dancing as Rick’s mother looks on:

Thanks to everyone who helped out on Saturday, it was an event to remember!

This is just a quick preview, stay tuned for more coming in the next few days!
