Ami & Scott Wedding Day-Part 2 Wed. February 11, 2009 i do
Okay, here we go--part 2 of Ami & Scott's wedding day! I don't have time today to upload the tech specs for these photos as I'm going to be working NON STOP on stuff for WPPI the next two days, namely my platform talk on WEDNESDAY at 2:30 (please come see me so I don't feel like a loser!) as well as the big launch of HIPSLIP LAPTOP BAG this saturday!!! More on that later today.
This wedding was also a team event! With me I had the fabulously talented Michael Norwood and Mark Brooke, the best photographers and friends anyone could ask for. Head over to Ami's Blog in the next few days for a full description of everything and detailed vendor list!
The event was flawlessly coordinated by Kim & Julie of Eventologie in Atlanta.
Okay, here we go--the calm before the storm:
Charlie was the cutest little ring bearer I've ever seen!
He didn't actually have the rings, but he did make it down the aisle!
And is clearly Ami's favorite guest:
I love this look she is giving Scott when she gets to him:
Their friend officiated, which was very special for both of them:
Yup, you may have noticed that Ami is a 2 dress bride--isn't this beautiful?
Woo hoo! 10 years together!
I love love love the mood and feeling of this photo. This is how I would love to set up my own wedding someday: Long tables rock.
Another slightly out of focus mistake that I love anyway:
Ami and Scott have been taking dancing lessons for right about 2 years. They can dance like total pros! One cool thing was that they actually had two dance instructors at the wedding to help teach their guests how to ballroom dance!
So sweet!
Just a cute moment:
I love when couples dance together more than just the first dance: Scott looks like he has great form in this one!
Some new friends! Kate & Matt Altmix who were kind enough to show us around Atlanta the next day and lose their money to us at cards that night :) If you're looking for a photographer in Atlanta, they are awesome--I love their style and personalities!!
Of course there was some fun dancing too:
And then...HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!
I am so stoked about how this one came out!
There were tons of detail pics, so click the little gallery below to see a few. Ami & Scott, thank you SO much for being a part of your day. I know how much time and work went into this, and I hope that I did it justice :)
Okay, here comes part 2 of the New Years' Eve wedding! First of all, I had a lot of questions about the limo shot below. The shot was after dark, available light. I had the driver turn the light on in the limo and roll the window down. Manual exposure at 1600, shot is straight out of camera.
Anyway, here comes the rest of the wedding of the year! The theme was winter wonderland, and I totally did feel like I was in wonderland, with all the blue and sparkly around me. It was a detail lover's dream to shoot, that's for sure! You can see more on Becker's Blog
The reception was tented in the backyard of the bride's parents' house. This wedding gave new meaning to the term "backyard wedding"!
This is what the decor looked like before the powerhouse team of Marley the Party Goddess got their hands on it:
I shot most of the details after dark to really play up the lighting. There's nothing I love more than all white carpeting put down for a reception:
Okay, maybe one thing--tiny chandeliers everywhere!
As you can see, it all tied together quite well:
The dance floor was over the pool, and totally clear. It looked like a skating rink!
More fabulous details:
What would a winter wonderland wedding be without an ice luge?
The arrangements looked frosty with crystals everywhere:
If only real snow looked like this!
Look at these yummy drinks. It is a shame I could not partake....
...until the end, that is! Hey, don't judge--it was New Years', I worked 12 hours, and I was only second shooting :)
The first dance:
A very spirited father daughter dance:
A tender mother son dance:
A teeny little cake!
One...Two...Three...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The night did not stop there though. What's better than doughnuts and milk at midnight?
Dodger dogs at midnight! The groom is the head chef at Dodger Stadium, and the bride's family is quite well connected :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I will be shooting a wedding tonight, so I will be posting all about that in the next couple of days, but for now, I wanted to wish everyone a great New Year and I hope that next year is even better than this one.
I'll be posting about my RESOLUTIONS in the next couple of days as well, but I'd love to hear what yours are!
