Ahhhhh where to start…. well I guess it goes about to about 5th or 6th grade when I first met the bride, Becca, in a gym playing volleyball. We spent a couple of year playing club volleyball together when we were young. I could tell you several stories involving road trips to New Orleans, spandex and SCIVA overnighters, but I’ll spare you the details and stick to the present day….. fast forward 13 or 14 years and I get a message from Becca telling me that she was engaged!!! I was so excited that she wanted me to be her photographer. It meant the world to me to see an old friend marry the man of her dreams. And I must say that she made a good pick 🙂

I first got the chance to meet Phil when we did engagement photos at Butler last November. They met while attending school there. You can see those photos here. He was a great sport during the session and I could tell immediately how happy Becca was with him.

I’ve been so excited about their wedding for months now – and it surpassed all my expectations. The whole day was picture perfect. If I didn’t know better I would have guessed that Becca recruited her bridesmaids from a modeling agency ! Everyone was gorgeous (with a little help from hair and makeup professionals)! And the guys were equally as “entertaining” – they kept me on my toes but were a blast to work with as well. They kept me laughing all day.  The ceremony was beautiful (not going to lie I shed a little tear) and then it was time to party. This was one of the most happening receptions I’ve been to in awhile. The dance floor was packed and everyone was having a great time.  So good to see some old friends and catch up with Becca’s family as well. Overall an amazing day. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Christner!

Meanwhile in the guys room…..

And the moment every bride waits for….. time to put on the dress! Love her expression – that my friends is pure excitement 🙂

Seriously…. how gorgeous is this bridal party?!

Details, details. If there is one thing I know for sure about Becca it’s that she isn’t afraid of a high heel… check out those shoes!

And then it was time to get married!!!

These are a little out of order because Becca and Phil actually decided to see each other before the ceremony (which I love!). Makes the transition into party mode much much faster after the ceremony 🙂 But here are a few formals we did beforehand…. the 3 black and white’s are my favs.

Then it was onto the ceremony via “The Love Bus” with a quick stop for a drink along the way….

The First Dance

Some reception details…. check out the size of that cake!

I told you it was a rocking reception!!

Me and The Christner’s!!! Congrats again!
