From the moment I got to the hotel room and saw the cammo garter and blue glitter Toms, I knew this was going to be a fun and interesting wedding day… and it did not disappoint.  As you will see, it culminated in a rousing serenade by the wedding party guys and the groom’s dad (that’s him in the afro wig!) of the YMCA!  Hilarious to say the least.  Special shout on to Laura and RJ for going into some semi-restricted areas for a few photos- you’re awesome!

see… glitter cammo WITH a deer!

 

 

 

the lovely Laura

 

 

sometimes it takes a village to get into the dress!

 

no corkscrew?!  no problem!

no wine glasses?!  no problem…. this will do just fine in a pinch!

 

 

and finally RJ…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

married!

annnd bubbled!

 

 

 

 

 

 

these blue doors almost match Laura’s eyes

 

apparently we were not supposed to be down here….

 

 

 

 

and may or may not have been politely asked to move on… oops!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this one!

 

 

 

 

 

the breeze blowing the little wisps of hair… perfect.

 

it makes me sooo so happy when people are willing to try things that are unexpected,  like sitting in some plants in their gown!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and we’re off!

 

 

never have I seen cammo icing, I didn’t even know it was possible!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry RJ, had to do it… LOVE that mom got you emotional.

 

 

not sure what is going on here, but it is all funny… and per the L Photographie rule that if something makes you laugh out loud during editing, you have to blog it, here it is.

 

 

 

 

more cammo in vest form!

 

 

there’s dad!

 

thanks for a fun day, and congratulations!!  with love, Kate
