the brown & gray wedding

Those are their names. Seriously. And although the names aren’t colorful, the wedding and couple sure were! I met this couple briefly at a wedding I shot a few months back and they chose me to shoot theirs as well. They are both super nice, down to earth, layed back, and just a great couple. They had their mass at a church with a sweet little courtyard where we took most of the formal pictures. Unfortunately, it was SO SUNNY so we were kinda relegated to one or two small shady areas to avoid those harsh shadows. But we got what we needed nonetheless.  

Aren’t they the cutest “ready made” family?

The mass was lovely. However the priest’s rules was no photographer on the floor during the mass, so I was sent up to the choir loft. Got some great shots from my birds eye view. Plus, there are always the Charlies Angels bridesmaids.

Then it was off to the reception in their backyard. I need to mention quickly that it had to be about 100 degrees on the day of the wedding and I was sweating buckets. But everyone had a great time and the kids were in the pool about 5 seconds after we got there.

The cupcake cake was fantastic (I didn’t taste it though). And the kids were swarmed around it like vultures.

In our pre-wedding meeting, I had asked the bride if she was interested in jumping in the pool in her dress. She was actually not shocked by the question and even said she had been thinking about it (okay, so you know I totally loved her from this moment on) and she would decide on her wedding day. Well, the decision was made and after she greeted all her guests “properly”:
