A Spring Wedding at Elements at Water Street: Kirsten & Mike

post filed in:

Wedding

Kirsten & Michael got married this past weekend, and I’m so grateful we got to be there to capture their wedding day. : )

While there were so many memorable parts of the couple’s wedding day, Michael’s face as Kirsten walked down the aisle, Kirsten’s first look with her Dad, popping Champagne in the morning with the ladies or the sill WWE socks that the groomsmen had, I wanted to highlight just three. : ) A Wedding Wednesday tradition!

#3. The WWE cake topper that Kirsten & Michael had! One of my favorite things about shooting weddings is finding the small personal details that each couple has and capture it it. This WWE cake topper, perfect personal touch!

#2. The “second” speech that Best Man, Mike had to share with us!

Kirsten had asked him to have his wife look it over, just to make sure it wasn’t too much. Mike let all the guests know that he did. Then he dropped that speech to the floor and pulled out the “real” speech. Guests loved it and it was the perfect balance of silly and love for Michael.

#1. The matching bracelets that Kirsten, her Mom Liz, sister Katie, and sister-in-law Amanda had. Not only were they beautiful, but they were created using Grandma’s pearl necklace. The perfect way to have her with us on Kirsten & Michael’s wedding day.

Kirsten & Michael, THANK YOU so much for having us. : ) I’m so grateful we had beautiful weather, and that you two were game for anything. Especially, romantic veil photos!

Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
