Alicia & Clay are awesome people. Can I just say that? Clay is a firefighter for Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company and Alicia is an EMT there as well. So when they came to me to shoot their wedding, I was immediately aware of how special they both were and I felt so honored to be the one to preserve their wedding day in pictures.
The wedding was held in the quaint Mt. Olivet Church, in Galena, MD and the reception was held at the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Banquet Hall. Appropriate, no?It was a blistering HOT and humid day, but we all made it through! We shot the bridal party pictures down at the same marina where they chose to have their engagement session. I have to say we were all quite tempted to take a dip in the water, with the extreme heat!! LOL
Enough chatter……on to the pictures!
Ain’t she a knockout?! Work it girl!
The Ceremony: Alicia’s Pop-pop walked her down the aisle.
She was biting her lip not to cry! Too sweet!
The Portraits:
These guys were such troopers to get as many photos as we did in
the horrible heat. The heat was brutal but they really hung in there!
Alicia’s dress had a lot of toule so we had to have a little fun with it.
My 2nd shooter for the day, Kalen, came up with this idea. Great job, Kalen!
The Reception:
This was Alicia & Clay’s Guestbook that we made from their engagement
photos – it was a big hit! People were talking about it all night.
You can view the entire design here.
Remember our shy little flowergirl? I think she
warmed up to me a little by the end of the night.
Alicia and her brother, Dominick, shared a very emotional and special dance together.
Truth be told, I usually do a good job at not crying at weddings, but when I saw the mascara running down her face, I lost it! I had to really work hard to regain my composure and keep shooting, but part of me thinks that the photos came out even better because I did get emotional. What do you think?
A little Chicken Dance action? Anybody?
And of course one more fun party shot!
Thanks so much guys for including me in your special day and for being
such troopers during the portraits in the extreme heat!
