Mary Beth and Michael
Who says organic chemists can't party!? Olyn and I photographed Mary Beth and Michael's garden wedding yesterday at Dorothy B. Oven park. These two were probably the calmest, most laid back couple I have ever worked with. Their calm demeanor spread through their families as well as the bridal party-- everyone was so loving and sweet!
I really want to thank both Mary Beth and Michael as well as their families for making yesterday so wonderful! Days like yesterday are a photographer's dream!
Not only were these two of the cutest flowergirls, but also two of the best behaved! They were such angels not only during the ceremony, but the whole day!

It seemed that Michael's fingers were suddenly a bit larger than before!
I don't think this smile left Mary Beth's face all day!

They made my job easy! I did not have to even try to get them to smile or laugh-- they had their own fun!

And because I don't want to neglect the groom, Michael looked quite handsome as well!
The wedding was rather intimate, with many of the guests traveling over from the UK. It was really important to Mary Beth to have a photo of everyone. With a little guidance from the wonderful DJ, Steve Christian, and with me hanging out a second story window-- we made it happen!
They put a new spin on an old tradition and had a small cake to cut, but also had mini cakes for all of their guests.
Each cake was meticulously decorated with their monogram by the amazing Katie!

Tiffany's veil with the hankerchief and card she gave to her dad before the ceremony. I was amazed they managed to choke back the tears!
An overview of their ceremony. I don't think any bride could ask for a prettier day!
I don't think I could have taken a photograph that captures Tiffany and Jason better than this. They are so fun-loving and laidback-- they are such a strong couple because they are so comfortable with themselves. 
Tiffany's eyes absolutely jump out of photographs! 
They even came back out to the lake at sunset for another quick portrait session:

They shared the sweetest dance out on the deck:

A little mood music:
I love how intently Jason watched Reagan come down the aisle.
Some puppy love!
Reagan and Jason had one of the best cakes I've seen in quite a while.
After a little coaching on where to cut the cake, they did great!
