Erin and Matthew got married at one of our favorite Churches to work at - St. Pat's here in Huntington and had their reception at the Woodlands in neighboring Woodbury.
Kim met Erin at her parent's house to shoot some getting ready pictures while I headed to the Church.
I was in two minds as to whether to include this first image or not - although it would probably never make it into an album, there is something about the timing I particularly like. Renowned fashion photographer Guy Bourdin once shot a whole fashion spread for Vogue in the 70s in which the models (and the clothes they were modeling) were always obscured by some obstacle be it a lamp post, car, tree, etc. The concept was quite brilliant and I think this photograph is reminding me of Guy's work a little. Brilliant job Kim!
Two bugle players announce the arrival of Erin..
...as she waits in the limo for the coast to clear..
This is one of Erin's Bridesmaids. Her name escapes me right now and I apologize for that, but I wanted to include her on the blog because she had one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard! She sang a hymn during the ceremony and had the whole Church spellbound..
So when we left the Church there was a threat of rain but nothing too obvious. By the time we showed up at the Woodlands however, we were in the middle of a downpour and this was all in the space of 30 minutes. Erin and Matt waited in their limo for as long as they could then made a bee-line to the reception under the protection of a few umbrellas!
Luckily the storm blew over and we were able to go outside for all the Bridal party pictures..
The girls certainly did not want to be outdone with this pose..
Magenta and white rose bouquets complimented the navy Bridesmaid dresses perfectly..
Matthew is quite a Corvette fan and all the place cards were displayed on metal cars while the tables were named after classic Corvettes...
Quite a first dance!! Sometimes you just get lucky and happen to be standing in the exact right spot at the right time - I don't think I could have recreated this dress swirl if I had tried!
It's always a fun time when the inflatable instruments make an appearance..
...and I dare you to keep your hands still during YMCA!!
Yes indeed, a fun time was had by all!
Thank you Erin and Matthew for trusting us with your wedding memories - we had a blast!
