garrett & susan- part 4 (the reception)

Ok, so I know I’m really supposed to only be up to part 3 , but part 3 looks very similar to part 2 as most of it is in the same location. So to mix things up a little, I’m skipping ahead to the reception. Part 3 (after the ceremony with all the bride & groom together shots, family, bridal party, etc) will be up soon. So for today, enjoy the reception!

By the looks of things, everyone was READY for the party.

The groom had a sweet card for the bride. I snuck over to catch the moment.

A beautiful sunset, a happy bride & groom checking out their reception, and a reflection of a beautiful bride in the suite.

Some family (ok, a lot of family). And friends too. I even snuck in for one.

A bunch of toasts.

Some cake and decor.

And a lot of dancing too!

And finally, some I love just cause. Garrett is the manager at Rockville Camera (where we know eachother from. So not only is there the ‘normal’ pressure of shooting a wedding, add on the fact that he’s a photographer himself and knows what a good picture looks like. Can you say panic attack? But all’s well that end’s well…) and Susan is a nurse. The shot was planned with the old camera for Garrett and her stethoscope but we couldn’t find it, so Beth W. saved the day by finding a medical book and she set up the whole shot. Thanks, Beth!

And I know the picture on the right is way underexposed, but there’s something about it the way it is…

A perfect ending to a pretty perfect night.
