Oh Claire and Stewart… looking through your wedding photos makes me smile.  I hope it makes you smile too.  These few images at the start of this blog were taken before the rehearsal dinner just a night or two pre-wedding!

aaaaand wedding day… I dropped Meredith off at Stewart’s house to capture the guys… there was some drinking…. of champagne and… Pedialtye (?) and also Fireball, but I will save that photo for another time LOL

looking good!

I started out with the girls!  Sparlky-er and fancier.

those ruffles though!

time to transform! *POOF* Pajamas to gown just like that!

and off to the church we go!

hitched! Mrs. Fields looks pleased.

sunshine and a gorgeous park next!

the whole crew

the ladies

not sure what sort of shenanigans is happening here… but I like it!

and here…

man down!  wedding day meter nap.

I guess Stewart wanted his own chance to toss the bouquet?

luckily someone did actually catch  it LOL

so tempted to make these into a gif.. nice Elvis moves!

time to head to the Palladium for some fun!  Love this boxwood place card wall by Belli Fiori and Table Ten

the black and white bow tie and stripe theme was so cute!

spoiler alert:  there will be sparklers!

way better than a fork!

I hope those are sturdily clipped suspenders!

this party ends with the bride and groom on stage with Griffin and the Gargoyles and the whole crowd going crazy!

and a fun sparkler sendoff!

Thank you so much for a FUN day and for being awesome and patiently waiting for your images as my basement flooded, brakes gave out, and main plumbing stack broke last month!  xoxo with love, kate & mer
