You saw the preview pictures of this sweet couple and now that I’m done I just have to say one thing: Reliving the day while going through the photos was such an emotional time! This wedding was funny and tender and sweet all rolled into one very crazy day!

Tomorrow is their six week wedding anniversary and I hope that the last six weeks have been just the best six weeks ever for Greg and Marie! They are a great couple and I am so glad to not only get to work with them, but to share their special day.

The good news is that my cyberstalking on facebook has yet to come up with me photobombing any of the guests photos. Thank goodness!

Here’s some of the exciting and glorious day for the two of them!

You are cordially invited… take a look at their program:

Ok, so this is really from the rehearsal, but it is just so funny! As a joke the wedding party decided to hold their bouquets this way for the rehearsal. Really, you just had to be there, but it is still funny to look at the photo! I love that even as things start to mount to the big moment, everyone was still able to joke around.

Marie was a bride with a plan. Her plan involved being a little different from most brides. Because her gown’s hem and train were the most lovely shade of red, she wanted red shoes. She also thought that with all red gowns, her bridesmaids might like to not have red shoes, so she wanted white for them. As it turns out this caused panic attacks on the part of the shoe people thinking they had completely messed up her order. But you know what? She totally made the right choice because look at how stunning her shoes were:

In the Bridal Beehive as I like to call it, the buzzing of activity was high yet we had time to rock out with music provided by the maid of honour:

I love that her gown had all this red that she carried through on the veil… it was absolutely beautiful!

While the bride and her attendants were in a flurry of motion, I popped down to check on the men. Don’t you know they were just kicking back. Must be nice to be able to just lounge around! This is a groom without a care in the world:

I took the men out back to get a photograph and let’s face it… the ring bearer steals the show with his posse behind him!

Back in the beehive Marie’s just about ready to go as her worker bees help her get dressed:

And then there’s this lovely jewelry made for the wedding by her maid of honour (which by the way I think if she starts selling her stuff on Etsy I’m gonna have to start promoting because hello gorgeous!):

The Ring Exchange:

The family that prays together, stays together! I loved that the minister had them have their very first prayer as a married couple… it was such a great moment.

We arrived at the reception with a fanfare… led by the flower girl. I gotta say, I love her moxie! That’s right, the party can finally start because she is here:

Ok, seriously, is this not the most awesome cake? It so matches the theme perfectly! Yeah once more she dealt with the whole, “You want a RED…???” and I say “Red, FTW!”

We went out back of the lovely Lightfoot Restaurant, the reception venue, and took some pictures next to a little waterfall. Here’s just a couple of shots:

So there’s just a few of the photos from the wedding of Greg and Marie. They are a great couple with big hearts and a great sense of humour!
