Ariane and Victor's Wedding

Ariane and Victor's wedding at the A&M Gardens in Azle was a beautiful one. The gardens were nice and open, with nothing but the clear skies and the setting sun as their backdrop. It was simple gathering of people for the two who committed themselves together on their day, and you couldn't ask for more.

As some of the staff, friends and family were helping set up the reception site, we got started with Ariane and Victor getting ready in their respective suites:

The garter is slipped on:

Before the ceremony, dad removed the veil to see his daughter's face before accompanying her down the aisle:

With friends and family filling the rows of chairs at the ceremony, it comes near a close, as the pastor hands each a ring for the two to fit. Then the kiss is made:

The newly-weds make their exit as husband and wife:

I caught Ariane peeking through the curtains of an entryway where her and the bridal party waited post-ceremony:

In-between the ceremony and reception is when I generally use the time to take formals, and here is one that I made:

After the guests filled themselves with dinner, the dancing started! Victor and Ariane opened the floor with their first dance - soon followed by the guests:

The dancing was stopped briefly for a break and then cake cutting! Despite much coercing from nearby friends to smash each other's faces with cake, Ariane and Victor kept it at the feeding part:

When we went back to dancing, one of the groomsmen and Victor shared a moment too. It was what the best man waited for all night, so naturally, I had to get it!:

Some of the details throughout the day:

The speeches were memorable. The maid-of-honor had one written out which detailed her friendship with Ariane and Victor and how she came to knew them as a couple. The best man spoke how Victor treated him like a big brother since childhood and felt honored on congratulating him and Ariane:

Before the night was almost over, they had to pick who was going to get married next of course!:

When the wedding came to an end, they made their exit towards the white Mercedes they left in, and shared their final kiss at the venue:

Thank you so much Ariane, Victor and company for bringing us out there to document the wedding. We enjoyed our time there, and hope the married life brings you more love and joy than you could ever imagine.
