Josh and Erin's Wedding

This past Friday we photographed Josh and Erin’s wedding at TWU’s little chapel in the woods. The venue was beautiful, and created a unique lighting challenge. Though we’re still going through all the images, I wanted to post a recap of the night and give the couple a teaser of what to look forward to.

Before the ceremony, the dress hung from a hook, anticipating its beautiful bride:

The day was even more so a special day, because Josh has two wonderful children who were excited to officially bring Erin into their little family. In both the bride’s room and the groom’s room, the two excited children got ready:

Soon it was time to put the dress and veil on:

Across the hall, Josh and his groomsmen wait:

After a few photos with close family before the ceremony, Erin snuck around the church in preparation for grand entrance. The music began, and in no time at all the happy couple was at the altar, exchanging vows, love, and of course, the rings:

A lovely song was sung, and shortly thereafter, “you may kiss the bride”:

Josh and Erin then joyfully left the chapel to greet the sunshine and the wind:

We then took a few moments for a quick photoshoot outside the chapel:

Then the couple entered the car and was off to the reception:

Outside the ballroom, friends and family signed the guestbook and wrote messages on small rocks:

The couple entered the ballroom to a standing ovation:

The venue was gorgeous, and the guests enjoyed orange drinks from the bar:

After the delicious food, toasts were made and cake was cut:

Then it was time for the first dance, after which Erin’s parents as well as the rest of the guests took to the floor:

As usual, there was a large crowd of enthusiastic women for the bouquet toss, and half as many men for the garter toss:

Still, everyone egged on Josh as he removed Erin’s garter:

As the night progressed, it was time for the last few dances:

Happy tears gave the night a very sweet end:

Outside, everyone debated how to light their sparklers all at once. Many gathered in groups and help their sparklers to a match or lighter in the center:

Finally, the couple emerged, and entered their getaway car, while jubilant guests celebrated all around:

We had a great time working with Erin and Josh, and we wish them and their families the best in the future to come!
