You may remember Leah and Joey’s engagement images from a previous post, they are such a great-looking couple. Their wedding was last Friday in Greenwood at St. Francis and Clare.
They decided to see each other before the ceremony and do most of the formal photos beforehand. Like many instances when this is the case, they set aside a special moment for seeing each other for the first time.
One image of Leah waiting alone for her moment with Joey really stands out to me:
I think she looks very elegant.
When the moment came, there were sparks in the air…
I also used the opportunity for a couple quick portraits right after.
I stood on a nearby bench and with a wide angle lens and with Photoshop achieved an interesting result for this one:
Next we spent a little time with bridal party inside the church. There are many good images, here are just two for now.
The church is newer, which is not always a big plus as a photographer, but this one photographed quite nicely. This first image just caught my eye, and with a little Photoshop I think it’s very moody and interesting:
These next couple represent the most exciting moments of any ceremony to me:
A very sincere ceremony…
… with some very humorous moments as well. I was all smiles, too!
A few small emergencies aside (Leah’s dress had a few ideas of it’s own after they were pronounced man and wife), our happy couple was finally married and had a chance to celebrate for the first time.
After that first “baskstage” toast, the reception started and their official entrance was very enthusiastic.
I already went on and on to Leah about how much I loved her lanterns at the reception, so I used one of her dance pictures that feature them on her collage. Here’s another with her Dad:
These are just a small sample of many great images I was fortunate enough to capture for Leah and Joey. I enjoyed the day very much, surrounded by very courteous and caring families. Please check back in soon for more exciting images. Here’s one more until next time:
