Trully one of the biggest blessings a photographer such as myself can receive around the holidays is a wedding where there is a combination of challenges. The biggest challenge at this wedding was there were a LOT of people, and the reception was at the house. 🙂
Getting the bride into her dress was easy. But it seems like every wedding dress has some small button, zipper, latch or hook that is impossible to reach somehow. Here, two of her sisters help fasten the dress before she finishes getting ready. A word of praise for a busy bride, though. She also helped get her young son and daughter ready to go, as well.
This was right after Tracy came down the stairs. There is a small candle-style bulb just below the staircase that was casting this soft light onto the bride.
The staircase was a natural posing point. This is one of a series of about ten images we did on the stairs.
At the reception, there was a lot to do and see. The groom, who helped make quite a mess with the cake, was also quite willing to help clean up. It was a fun moment.
I like home weddings a lot, because you never really know what to expect. But then, I like every wedding for one reason or another.
