I was first introduced to Niki & Pete through Rachel of  Events Made Easy and have been blessed ever since.  Being referred by other couples, and Wedding vendors is such a treat and I am always beside myself with thankfulness for their praise.  If it weren’t for her referral, I probably wouldn’t have met them…and that would have been very sad ~ they’re such a super sweet couple! ♥  If you didn’t get to see their Engagement session, you can view it here ~ be prepared to stop and stay a while! :)

Their Big Day was held out in Bloomfield, in the home that Niki grew up in and where her parents still live.  What a beautiful historic home out in the countryside…as soon as you pulled up to it, you were wrapped in a big welcoming hug.  When I saw the reception tent off in the distance, I became so excited for the rest of the days events…I couldn’t wait to get started!

 

Off to the church ~ time to get Married! :)

Incredible flowers…I’ve never seen anything like them!

It’s time! :)

 

 

Congratulations!!! :D

Off to Warner Castle/Sunken Gardens!

Enough of this ~ time to hit the A.C. and get back to the party! :)

YES!  That’s a couch!  So cool!

We got back in time for the Bride and Groom to mingle before introductions and enjoy some cocktails with their guests

Niki’s fabulous mom ~ she’s amazing! :)

I could have used one of those for my water! LOL

Time for introductions ~ one of the couples came riding in on the motorcycle and the rest ran behind them!

First dance ♥

After toasts, they were given these fantastic custom made goggles for snowboarding!

As the night started to settle in, the lights in the tent really lit up!  So much color ~ way to go ‘Events Made Easy!’

Some beautiful romantic pictures before dusk

Let’s get this party started!

I love how the light glowing from inside outlines the bike

Those sunglasses everyone was wearing were their favors ~ great idea!

This is a sample page from the Guest Books I make with our Engagement Session images ~ everyone loves writing messages in them!

Have you ever seen a Wish Lantern release before? It’s the equivalent of a mini hot air balloon, and when released into the night sky, the person/people releasing them will traditionally make a wish for the Bride and Groom ♥

Congratulations Niki & Pete!  Your Wedding was amazing, and I wish you so much love and happiness as you begin your journey as Husband and Wife ~ in Ibiza – wow!! :D

The view as I was leaving … the A.C. was calling me…but the view made me want to stay ~ what an amazing celebration!

With Love and air conditioning,

Sue

I have been following Krystal’s Wedding updates for the past year on Facebook ~ always filled with happiness and excitement!  I count down with my Brides too and sometimes I get all caught up in their excitement that I feel like their big day is my day too! :)

It’s unbelievable to me how long this sweet couple has already been together…High School sweethearts!  They are a perfect match and I’m so lucky to have been a part of their celebrations; through their Engagement session at Maplewood Park and Corbett’s Glen to their Wedding day at Terry Hills Golf Club.

Getting ready!

 

 

Groomsmen ‘sustainables’  :D

Off to Terry Hills!

I just LOVE flower girls!  They’re always SO cute!

 

 

Beautiful incredible singer

 

 

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.! ♥

 

The event coordinator, Danielle, did an incredible job with the setup, as always!  She is incredibly professional and a breeze to work with.  I can’t thank her enough for being so attentive and genuinely interested in what’s going on throughout a Wedding day.  Thanks Danielle ~ you’re awesome! :)

LOL, Peekaboo! :D

I’m still wondering what went wrong here…but whatever it was, lit up the room with laughter :)

Dancing!

Florida!  You’re a sweetheart! ♥

I loved this couple ~ they were having SO much fun together…and as I took their picture late into the night, the next thing I saw was a pizza buffet!  I looked over at them and yelled, Pizza?!  They were laughing and couldn’t believe it either ~ way to go Terry Hills!

As I took a break from dancing and circled the room, I came across one of the girls beautiful manicures!  How fun!

A few more before the night was through ~ it always goes so fast :(

 

Congratulations you two!  What a beautiful day for your celebration complete with a perfect sun shiney day, loving family, and amazing friends!

Best wishes on a long life together filled with love, laughter and happiness always! ♥

I still can’t believe how many amazing people I have met over the years through photographing Weddings.  The recommendations I receive are beyond any of my most hopeful expectations; and this Wedding is one of them.   I just realized as I was thinking about this, that the couple that recommended me is celebrating their FIVE year Anniversary this year!  Which means so is my business!  Has it really already been 5 years?! :)

I absolutely adore them and can’t thank them enough for their friendship and support.  Not only are they celebrating their Anniversary, but I also got to meet their precious baby girl Celia!  (I will  have another post later of their baby session..too cute!)  I’m so blessed to be invited back into the lives of so many couples and families ~ thank you SO much! :)

Katie and Drew are ADORABLE together!   We planned everything through their parents because they live out of state.  When I got to meet them this Spring for their Engagement session while they were home visiting, I was immediately drawn into their relaxed, easy going nature.   Being around them during that session, and again on their Wedding day, I was swept away as I continually witnessed Drew gazing at Katie.  So much adoration and love…breathtaking.

Our day started off at Katie’s family home where she, her girls, and her family were getting ready

Mom’s first look at her beautiful daughter ♥

Gorgeous!

A family heirloom ring; something borrowed

Look at that beautiful smile!  Someone’s excited!!  Is there anything sweeter than a flower girl? ♥

Proud papa ♥

Ok, we’re off to the church!

Congratulations!!

TriPod! :D

Toasts!

Father/Daughter – Mother/Son dances… SO much love in this room!

Happy Honeymoon you two! ♥

With love and happiness,

Sue
