Glitz + Glam
When I think of Emily and Jared’s wedding, I think of gold sequins and glitter. Emily wore a Maiden Voyage Bridal Gown that she customized and her bridesmaids wore gold sequins dresses from Rent the Runway that added glam and fun to the entire day!
Emily and her girls got ready at her parents’ house. The excitement was palpable, and everyone was chatting and laughing all morning long. There was a breakfast feast fit for a king!
The guys were busy playing a few hands of pre-wedding poker at Jared’s house.
A Personalized Ceremony
The couple had an elegant, classic catholic mass. In a very sweet gesture, the couple gave each other communion. One of the bridesmaids, Caty, even sang Amazing Grace. Their wedding sermon was so personalized and with such a great message that the wedding mass ran a tad over. Nearly 25 minutes over to be exact! Parishioners were lined up at the door to get in for evening mass, so we had to improvise and take family portraits outside.
After the ceremony, we headed to Lafayette Park for portraits. The bridal party was a blast! The ladies were true champs and kept their composure as we were getting swarmed by bees! Even though Lafayette Park is always super crowded, I still love shooting there!
The Celebration
Their reception was amazing. It was at the Coronado Ballroom, and again, with gold and glitter from top to bottom. The tables had a mix of tall candelabras and gold table cloths with gorgeous floral arrangements. This was an evening made for a fairytale!
