Ten things (of many!) that I loved about the wedding I shot this weekend…
1. The wonderful couple, Jen and Andrew! I’ve known Jen since college when we were in an inline skating club together and she asked me to be her photographer almost as soon as SHE proposed to Andrew in Hawaii!
2. The bridal party! There were bridesmaids, groomsmen, bridesguys, and groomsgals!! And how can you not love it when you ask them to go behind a tree and they start climbing it!
3. The shoes. Red and black Chucks for the ENTIRE wedding party? I would say comfort over style, but these were mighty stylish!
4. The ceremony. It was short and sweet but packed to the brim with personal sentiments.
5. The officiant, who was a good friend of theirs who got ordained just so he could marry them.
6. The cake from the Cake Lady, Diana McPheeters. It was delicious, moist, and beautiful (sans fondant)!
7. The dancing! Jen and Andrew love to swing dance and have so many friends who do too, so it was a wild night on the dance floor!
8. Pumpkin carving! So I don’t think this was at all planned. But using butter knives or Swiss Army Knives, or whatever they had on hand, many of the guests started carving the pumpkin centerpieces!
9. Carmel apple favors from Cunningham’s Candies, with the most gooey carmel coating ever. I may have taken two home with me. But some just couldn’t wait that long!
10. Did I mention how awesome Jen and Andrew are?
The impromptu pumpkin carving was probably my favorite thing about the reception! Also, Nora (little girl in the pic) was totally into that apple. Andrew and Kurt have always been suave on the dance floor, but dang, they look good in those vests!

You guy’s are magicians, turning your venue around so fast (what happened to the most weather-predictable month of the year?)— looks like and sounds like you had a great time! And Andy looks like a Happily Married Man——- and Jen always looks happy. Congratulations!!
Ann and Peter Grant

When the heck did Jenny grow up to be such a beautiful woman? It’s was only a couple months ago she was sitting in her baby swing, right !? LOVED the pictures, thanks for sharing – Congrats to all !!
