April & Tim - June 27, 2009 at The Hermitage

I am so excited to finally share this wedding with all of you! April and Tim were some of my all-time favorite clients to work with, and despite the record-breaking heat that weekend, their event turned out beautifully, especially surrounded by their friends and family who so clearly adored them. A HUGE thank you to Mark & Noelle at McCoy Photo Duo (formerly McCoy Studio) for sharing these amazing pictures with us!

April was, of course, completely stunning! This first picture of her just floors me every time I see it - the parasols were a last minute find, and they added SO much.

April had strong ideas about colors and styles, and I really loved the bold choices she made, from the unique bridesmaids dresses to her handmade custom runners. She even chose to use material from the runners with the invitations, and they turned out amazing!

The ceremony was held in restored The Hermitage Church on the grounds at the home of President Andrew Jackson. The program fans - complete with April and Tim's monogram, also appearing on the invitations, napkins, and an embroidered altar piece - came in very handy.

The reception was held at Tulip Grove Mansion, also on the grounds.

One of my favorite groom's cakes of all time, easily. Great job by Amy at The Bake Shoppe! :)

Takako & Greg - A Video Montage

Many thanks to Jennifer at Dynamic Video for sharing this video of highlights from Greg & Takako's beautiful October wedding last fall. You can clearly see how much love was there that night - they are a couple truly in love and deeply loved by their friends and family. It was a fantastic night (even I teared up a bit during the wedding, and especially during Takako's moving speech to her parents) and I wish we could do it all again!
