After the touching moments with the bride, groom, and the bride's father, we took some GLAMOROUS shots of the bride and groom. Like magazine worthy. We then brought out the family and took some beautiful shots of this now blended family.

Guests began arriving a little after 5, thinking they were just coming to a post-courthouse wedding reception. But once the clock struck 6 p.m., the bridal party walked to the altar, with some confusion from the guests. Then before they could question, the bride and her father walk through the reception area towards the alter. To the guests' surprise, the groom and bride had a surprise ceremony in front of the guests. The ceremony was spiritually based with a bit of humor added.

After buffet opened, the maid of honor, the best man, and the pastor gave a toast to the bride and groom on the celebration of their special, long awaited marriage. My night ended with this beautiful couple when they cut their beautiful wedding cake.

This was such a fun wedding to be a part of. The bride and the bridal party made me feel a part of the wedding by sharing their love and joy. I also got to see my sweet kiddos from school at this wedding since I have the privilege of working with the bride. I am so happy for the bride and groom and pray for many years of marriage for the happy, beautiful couple.
