And here’s the party!! Shannon and Tommy had everyone on the dance floor. Here’s the first dance….

I love Shannon’s face during one of the toasts.

Shannon’s parents have been married for 31 years.

I LOVE these party shots!

Dear Shannon and Tommy: Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your wedding! I know, without a doubt, that the two of you will have a wonderful, and long, and happy, life together! xoxo Denise

Here’s part 2 of Shannon and Tommy’s glorious day! We wandered around the Smithville property to take some fun shots and the carousel was perfect for what we had in mind!

As always, Mary and Dawn of Garden Party Sisters did a great job with all the flowers and details!

The cake was beautiful.

I love Shannon’s butterfly theme….

Ok, here we go!

You know I love blurry shots….this one is REALLY blurry!

Married!

Shannon is beaming.

And, once again, my rented lens did an amazing job with the rings….Stop back tomorrow for the party!

Oh what a day Shannon and Tommy had!!! I love the Smithville Inn for weddings, they do such a nice job, and Shannon and Tommy’s wedding was no exception! Shannon booked a suite, on property, to get dressed in, so here we go with the pictures. Shannon’s dress:

And I love this picture of her shoes!

As always, Mary and Dawn of Garden Party Sisters did an amazing job with the flowers:

Shannon and Tommy opted to see each other before the wedding and get all of the pictures done. Here she is waiting to see her groom.

Sometimes, I am amazed at my luck. It was HOT out and I dragged Heather across a parking lot to get a shot of her and Tommy in front of this DISNEY BUS!! OMG! I love these!

Arguably, the light was much more flattering in the other places where I shot them.

Shannon and glowing and look at how happy she is!

We took all most of the family portraits under the covered bridge and look at how nice they turned out…. no photoshop needed when the light is perfect to start!

Only a few select people know what was going on here. I won’t say, but I’ll leave it to your imagination!

Shannon’s sister, Shelly, and her boyfriend.

There an interesting story about Mike, the groomsman on the left, and his pants!

Bill, the other groomsman, was quite a character!

Stop back tomorrow for shots of the ceremony!

Ok, here’s the last post of Jamie and Mike’s wedding. They are in London on their honeymoon, and I hope they’ve had a chance to see these posts and I certainly hope they are having fun!

The Bake Works Did made a beautiful cake for Jamie and Mike.

DJ Bishop rocked the party. He played the music, during the ceremony and dinner, that Jamie and Mike wanted played, and he got everyone up and dancing the minute dinner was over! Love the necklace!

It was hot and the Smithville Inn had buckets of water outside for the guests (and me

I love outdoor weddings and I love this shot of Mike taken from behind the officiant. I was able to walk all around, which I love, during the ceremony.

Oh Jamie, you are just too precious for words.

Jamie’s twin, Julia, has a big, beautiful smile as well!

Married!

I love this shot of Mike’s mom taken as she was walking back down the isle!

The best thing was the popcorn bar! I loved the buffalo wing and bleu cheese (I know it sounds wierd) and I even ordered some for myself online.

Just google Kukuruza and you can see all the fun flavors.

Jamie and Mike had an old movie theme and each table was aptly named!

Here’s Linda Morrow who was my second shooter for the wedding!

Mike’s dad was something on the dance floor!

Love this cake shot!

Jamie changed into a fun dress for the last hour or so of the reception. She and Mike danced hour away….

The famous Cupid Shuffle!

Claire is soo cute!

At the very end of the evening, Jamie tossed her bouquet! What a nice way to end a truly lovely day. Jamie and Mike: Thanks so much for making me a small part of your very special day. I know you will have a long and happy life together. xoxo Denise

OMG. Wait til you see these…I’m so excited!! Here’s comes the beautiful bride to see her groom BEFORE the wedding~ we had tons of time to get all the family and bridal party shots done and the afternoon turned out perfectly!

First they kissed….

And then they checked each other out! I think they both liked what they saw

Stunning!

Jamie and her two lovely sisters! Look at those smiles!

Mike’s interesting cufflinks!

We had a bit of a sewing emergency but Jamie’s sister, Claire, worked it out for Mike.

The men!

Oh boy, I had such fun with Jamie and Mike’s portraits. They can’t take a bad shot!

Our lovely flower girl….

This image is straight out of the camera. No photoshop at all, and see how truly precious she is!

Our beautiful ladies…

What kind of bird is this anyway?

Stop in for more tomorrow including the ceremony and some really, really, fun reception shots!

Jamie and Michael had a beautiful day last Saturday at the Smithville Inn. Jamie has a special place in my heart. She was my first booking for 2010 all the way back in 2008! AND she booked me without ever meeting me. I’ve seen Jamie and Mike a bunch of times, including their engagement session last year in Philadelphia. Back to last Saturday. There was a children’s festival in Smithville so it was crowded and if you remember it was unusually hot for early May! Jamie was staying at The Barn (which is a hotel in Smithville). It was lovely, all old wood and beautiful light. Here’s Jamie’s amazing Nicole Miller dress!

Shoes of any color make me happy

Lilac again. Beautiful springtime flower and that smell…oh, that amazing smell!

Cheers to Jamie!

I’m just going to show you a few little teasers of Jamie..you’ll have to wait til tomorrow to see how beautiful she was!

The rings. Notice what is says on the bottom of the shot: Two Dozen.

Here’s Mike! Really, he couldn’t stop smiling!

Stop in tomorrow because Jamie and Mike saw each other before the wedding and I’ll show you that!
