So basically Candice and Will and I are old friends by now… I shot their engagement and then Candice’s beautiful bridal session (which I can FINALLY blog… it was a secret from Will for a while!) and then finally their gorgeous wedding.  I am going to put a couple of the bridal session photos up first… try not to drool over the Louboutins… mmm hmmm.

 

 

 

 

 

okay, enough bridal love… let’s get back to the shoes… errr, wedding…

love the clasp on these pearls!

 

 

 

 

 

 

finishing touches by Emily Miller of Delicately Bold

and Jeffrey Steffens from Kink Salon

yes, Candice has a bag over her head, in case you were wondering!

 

the traditional applying of the bridal foot powder (genius actually)

 

and Kristie was with the boys…

 

and we’re off to the College Church, St. Francis Xavier

nothing like a little dance party before you walk down the aisle!

 

 

 

 

 

all smiles

 

 

 

Mr & Mrs Hux!

love the way he is looking at her here… good stuff!!

beautiful bouquets and bouts by Festive Atmospheres

a quick stop in Forest Park… it was after all over 100 degrees and the Trolley A/C was out!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then into Cielo at The Four Seasons to cool off, dry out, and drink up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this one is for you Donna (that’s Candice’s mom… she loves the shoes almost as much as Candice!)

 

 

something you might not know about Will Hux… he’s a surprise dipper… but it’s cool, he wont drop you.

 

more shots of the lovely bouquet

then off to the Top of the Met for cocktails and reception

TONS of customized details.  Nobody can say Candice isn’t embracing her new last name!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

swoon

 

see… another surprise dip!

 

then the party began

Candice’s sister caught the bouquet, of course

 

okay… so it was time to twist and shout…

but there is such a thing as TOO low!  Sorry Will, this fell under the “if it makes you laugh out loud during editing, it has to be blogged” clause.

and another dip… see what I mean?!

watching the same day edit by

 

love these two shots… in their own little world.

some double dutch action (yes, imaginary ropes)

this also falls under the L Photographie laughter clause… this makes me smile.

 

thanks for a fun day & congrats you two!! with love, kate & kristie
