I don’t even know where to begin with this wedding…these two were just so much fun, and I abosolutely adore both of their families! Elka was an absolutely beautiful bride, and Andrew had me laughing the entire time I was there. I had such a great time, and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I did at this wedding. :-D
I first met Elka and Andrew back in September when we met for a consultation. I was a little hesitant to book another wedding for October, but after meeting these two it was a no brainer. If they wanted to hire me as their wedding photographer, I absolutely wanted to photograph their wedding. And I’m so glad they hired me. :)
We had a few snaffus before the ceremony (including the groom’s dad giving him the shirt off his back because his tux didn’t come with one…and oh yes I have photos!), but everyone took it all in stride. And there were just smiles all around the wedding party the entire night, which was really really cool.
The ceremony took place inside this beautiful church over in Marietta. I absolutely loved the architecture and in a second you’ll see why. But I have to tell you…as far as grooms go, Andrew just freaking rocks. Why? Keep reading and you’ll understand.
I had given the wedding party members a few tips before the ceremony to help with the photos. I had also asked the lovely couple to hold the first kiss for a couple of seconds so I could get a good shot of it. Andrew went above and beyond the call of duty, and I think it’s the best ceremony kiss I have ever witnessed. At first it started out just like any other kiss…

But when I saw his hands around her waist like that, I knew what was coming…and while I managed to get a shot of it, my second shooter Tammy got an even better one. I LOVE the expression on the priest’s face!

Andrew, thank you so much for helping us capture amazing photos! You really do rock. :)
The reception was a lot of fun, too. I mean, both families were just so open and friendly, and they were all a joy to photograph. Now I’ll stop babbling and post some more photos. ;-)






Thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding! I had a wonderful time and wish you two years and years of happiness together. I hope you had a great time on your honeymoon, and your gallery should be posted shortly after you get back!
