Vincent and Kelly's Wedding

Vincent and Kelly celebrated their wedding at the Wildwood Inn in Denton. I photographed it with the help of an assistant, Layla, last weekend, and was glad I could be there for their beautiful day of celebration.

The front of the inn showcased European styling in its architecture, which generally encompasses tall windows spaced evenly:

One of the bridesmaids readies her dress:


While Kelly couldn't keep hands off her dress!:


Kelly applies makeup in the bathroom:


Vincent arrives, and speaks with some of the guests that arrived early. I then took him and the groomsmen out for a few photos:






Kelly reacts to a joke, while her mother does what they do best, look after their children:




Once all the guest were seated, the rear doors slide open, introducing Kelly and her father down the aisle:


Kelly mother tried pretty hard to hold back the tears:




After articulate words were spoken, with a few jokes in between, Vincent slides the ring onto Kelly's finger:


The newly wed share a moment with the wedding party in the hallway after the ceremony was finished:


While the reception was quickly being set up, I brought the party to the front to try some poses:








Everyone started settling in, corks came off wine bottles, and the sounds of disposable cameras set on each table filled the air with its clicks:


A couple of views showing how the inn and its terrace stays cool by the surrounding trees:




A detailed shot of the rings next to not one but four wedding cakes!:


And a few more details:


When it came to the toasts, the stories were nice - albeit a few embarrassing moments particularly for Vincent, but they were still very kindhearted:




Vincent and Kelly were all smiles as they made the first slice of their cake:




When the dancing started, and I used the rear sliding doors as a framing device here:




Before Vincent's grandmother left for the night, she gave the couple an antique quilt. Normally, I thought this was something she made herself or was passed down through generations, but I was wrong. I learned that it was started in 1899, but never completed by another family. The grandmother then found it in an antique store and then finished it. I don't think they'll be picnicking with this anytime soon!:


Kelly shows her ring during a conversation:


Vincent joined some of the guys in celebrating with cigars outside:


Vincent and Kelly had the bouquet and garter toss outside, too:




When their special day came to a close, bubbles flew through the air, and the two briefly made their exit - and turned around because they stayed at the inn!:


I wish them only the best of luck, and sincerely thank Vincent and Kelly for bringing me out on their day!
