I don’t even know if Jasmine & Terrel’s wedding needs any introduction. If you were there, you already know it was absolutely gorgeous! And if you weren’t there, the photos speak for themselves!

Jasmine looked absolutely stunning with her Hollywood glamour style! Tons of sparkle, a birdcage veil, feathers in her hair… everyone was in awe of how beautiful she looked! The bridesmaids all wore long, elegant pink dresses and looked like real life Barbie dolls!

The guys definitely came out with their style, too! Terrel wore an all white tuxedo (yes, ladies, he is off the market now!). All of the groomsmen looked stylish in brown tuxedos with light pink vests. The girls all squealed when they saw how good they looked! Seeing the wedding attire, you knew it was going to be a very elegant evening!

The ceremony took place out on the grassy lawn behind the OakLeaf clubhouse. Rose petals lined the aisle toward the wedding arch with a beautiful fountain behind it. Jasmine made her grand entrance to Beyonce’s “Ave Maria” by walking across the 2nd floor terrace and down the stairs to where her father was waiting to escort her. It was the perfect setting for a wedding, and the ceremony was filled with words of wisdom, encouragement, and humor.

Expectations were already set high by such a perfect ceremony, and the reception did not disappoint! We got a peek at the room before everything began and it was incredible! The decor (along with all the wedding party florals) was designed by Alpha & Omega Event Consultants and it was some of their best work! Tall centerpieces with wispy branches and flowers, custom draping, and pink uplighting made it a photographer’s dream! The beautiful cake by 3 Sisters’ Chocolate also drew the attention of cameras. It was a visual and culinary work of art! We also have to mention the best man, Mike, who was so busy running around and making sure everything was in place. He was there at our first meeting with Jasmine & Terrel and was such a huge help to us on the wedding day! Thank you so much, Mike!

I could go on, but I know there is a happy couple of newlyweds who are very anxious to see their photos! Make sure to leave them some love in the comments section, and join us in congratulating them on their marriage!

Earlier this month, we shot Chiquarya & Waymond’s wedding at the Embassy Suites in Jacksonville. Trying to catch up on all of our editing from the busy months of May and June, we took a break from blogging to focus on editing and album design. We’ve already released all of their wedding photos, but we wanted to post their slideshow with some highlights from the wedding day and congratulate them again on their marriage! : )

We’re not even sure where to begin to tell you about Lisa & Bryan. We never had a chance to meet them prior to the wedding day so all we knew what was through emails and Facebook. We knew that they were a very artistic, attractive, and very rock n’ roll bride and groom, but we didn’t realize just how incredible of a couple we were about to meet. What makes Lisa and Bryan truly inspiring as a couple is the unspoken bond that is apparent when you look at them. Whenever they look at each other, they don’t have to say a word, yet you can tell that something special has passed between them. They have a very deep and profound connection.

Lisa & Bryan held their wedding at the Savin Rock Conference Center in West Haven, CT. The ceremony took place outside with a breathtaking view of the Long Island Sound. With Lisa’s best friend officiating, it was a very intimate and close wedding shared by them and their closest friends and family. At the beginning of the ceremony, they released balloons to honor the memory of Lisa’s mother and Bryan’s stepfather. It was a beautiful moment and the tears were flowing as everyone looked to the sky. Lisa also honored her mother by wearing a beautiful necklace custom designed by Nikki Cummings Jewelry that included a vial with pixie dust, angel wings, stars, and a lock of her moms hair. Just beautiful!

After the ceremony, we spent some time with the wedding party for some fun and sassy group shots. And with the colors of a beautiful sunset washing over them, Lisa and Bryan showed us how sexy a couple they are, with Lisa in her flowing dress and red sandals and Bryan in his GQ-esque grey tuxedo. Matt thinks the photo below of Bryan looking at Lisa standing behind him on the rocks looks like a James Bond poster. Smokin’ hot!

Dinner was a buffet of delicious Italian entrees catered by Mancinelli & Sons. The rest of the evening was an amazing party full of laughs and tears. Lisa’s MOH honored Bryan and Lisa with Etta Jame’s “At Last” while they had their first dance as husband and wife. Later on, Lisa and her father shared an emotional dance. The most endearing image of the evening for Matt was a private walk that Lisa and Bryan shared together towards the end of the night.

Lisa & Bryan, we can’t thank you enough for inviting us into your lives and letting us share an incredibly beautiful day with you and your guests! We are honored and touched and wish you nothing but the best! : )

The most awesome cake topper we have EVER seen!!!

When we first met Carmen & Kyle last November, our first impression was that they were very stylish and gorgeous! They had just come from church, so they were dressed in their Sunday best! But what we didn’t know that day was that we were meeting two of the kindest, most loving people you could ever know! Throughout the wedding day, it was so obvious how much love and support they have from their families and friends. As the girls helped Carmen get ready, there was tons of laughter in the room. They made sure that there were no “wardrobe malfunctions” and made sure that everything made it to the church!

Carmen and Kyle held their wedding at the First Baptist Church of Agawam, a charming, beautiful church that is over 200 years old! They had an intimate ceremony by candlelight with lots of singing, including a tearful song sung by Carmen to her new husband.

After photos at the church, everyone headed to the next part of the wedding at the Springfield Marriott. Before the introductions, we spent some time with the wedding party doing photos on the incredible rooftop garden. Inside, the reception room was illuminated by purple uplights. The details were so gorgeous and vibrant (and you KNOW how we love bold colors!). As Carmen and Kyle entered the room, their wedding guests surrounded the dance floor and watched a slideshow of photos documenting their lives until this moment. They shared their first dance in the middle of their closest friends and family in a perfect moment!

The rest of the evening was filled with dancing and singing, with entertainment provided by Brian Nicks Productions (who also set up the gorgeous uplighting in the room). One of my favorite moments of the reception – okay, THE favorite moment – was when all the groomsmen started dancing to “Apache” (you know – “Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it.” I got so excited as soon as I heard the first couple beats because I knew what was going down. What a priceless moment! You can see them dancing in the last image below. And if you don’t know the dance, you can check it out here on YouTube.

Such a great wedding, and we are so happy for Carmen and Kyle! You guys are great, and we know that you will have a very happy marriage! Congratulations!! : )
