Erin + Faisal wedding {by kate & meredith}

Erin and Faisal got married on a rainy day…. probably my rainiest of the year, but they took it like champs & we still managed to get some gorgeous photos!! We started out at the Chase Park Plaza (and we will end there as well!)  Erin had a ring that belonged to Faisal’s father made into his wedding band as a surprise– awesome!

the guys getting their suspenders on.  I LOVE wedding suspenders and bow ties, though admittedly, this is primarily because I love seeing the undone bowties later on the dance floor!

When Mer and I went out to set up for the bubble exit to a car that was picking up Erin and Faisal…. we were quite confused to find a horse and carriage there… turns out they were just using that spot to load the horse and carriage into a trailer so we had to shoo them out of there in a hurry, but not before a few guests had time to pet and blow bubbles with the horse LOL
