Meet Keri and Blaine! This wedding had a first for me as we arrived to start photos before the sun was even up! I have to big a shout out to the entire wedding party who braved the 30 degree temps in the morning for photos at the riverwalk before the ceremony. You (hopefully) can’t tell it from the photos, but they were freezing!

I loved all the personal touches of this wedding. Keri wore her grandmother Gloria’s wedding gown (with some alterations) and they were married under a chuppah quilt that was made by a combinations of squares from thier friends and family. The ceremony and reception were held at the church in which they met and instead of cake they had Whitey’s Ice Cream brought in from near Blaine’s hometown!

Congratulations to Keri and Blaine and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Keri with her grandma Gloria who was the original bride to wear this gown 🙂

Then we headed next door for their reception! They made all the centerpieces themselves and I loved the holders for the photos from the photobooth!

Love this silouette shot that my assistant Robyn shot during the father daughter dance

Time for some dancing!
