We are the luckiest people in one of the coolest careers right now. We are so lucky to have a chance to photograph people on one of their happiest days of their lives, and we get to meet some of the nicest and sincere people. We recently photographed Rebecca and Tom's wedding. Not only are they ridiculously beautiful but they and their whole family are the sweetest people we have met. You want to know how sweet? After the wedding they sent us this gorgeous modern flower arrangement thanking us for helping them through out the day! Wow. I was floored! Rebecca and Tom thank you for allowing us to photograph your day. We wish you nothing but plenty of love and happiness in the future!!!
Now on to the photos!
I mentioned that Rebecca and Tom were just a little bit good looking right?
Rebecca and I were laughing at the fact that people tend to think Tom looks like Tom Cruise...
They got married at Our Lady of Las Vegas, which was just breathtaking inside. I just have to mention a quick story about their actual ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony the priest asked a question. "If you could summarize the complete Bible in one word, what would that word be?" I instantly thought of Love, as I think most people did. About halfway through the ceremony he again asked the same question, but this time he gave us the answer. Can you guess what it was? It was ALWAYS. As in I will always be there for you. I will always love you. And then he proceeded to say that there was a song, that most people wouldn't remember that reminded him of God. He began singing the song Always, sang most famously by Ella Fitzgerald. The most amazing thing occurred at that moment. The whole church started singing along. It was such a wonderful, amazing moment to see a whole congregation of people singing this touching song to the bride and groom. I wish I was a better writer to describe this moment to everybody, because it brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes I think wow...I am so lucky to be alive.
Josh got this killer shot of the Priest asking God to bless the rings:
My favorite photograph I took actually happened before the ceremony, and really it's not technically a great shot, but something about it speaks volumes to me. Perhaps the way the little has her body positioned with her eyes closed. It reminds me of the connection between a father and daughter.
Rebecca and Tom's theme was Gothic Romance. Therefore, everything was deep dark red and black. It was gorgeous. Therefore, we kind of wanted to give them a little bit more passionate photographs for their formals.
Although, we did have a little bit of fun....
The flowers for their wedding were simply, jaw dropping amazing. I mean I've seen some pretty flowers, but these flowers perfectly matched up the Gothic Romance theme. They were done by Julie Reed Events, and I have to say she was the nicest person to speak to. She gave all of the bridesmaids and Rebecca a lot of tips on how to keep the flowers fresh, and even tied one of the bridesmaids bouquets to her crutches because the bridesmaid had hurt her leg! I would highly, highly recommend her for any of your floral needs!
Check out this bouquet. I love the black hypericum berries to match the black magic roses:
And instead of a floral pomander or basket for the flower girl, she hand made this beautiful heart wand made out of mini roses. Wow!
A couple more flower details as well as all of the amazing reception details that Rebecca worked so hard on!!!
Okay one last detail shot, and then I have to go. This post is monstrously huge, but I really couldn't help myself. This was such a wonderful wedding. Oh also! One last thing. You might recognize Rebecca's sister. She actually just co-starred in a little movie called, CAMP ROCK
along with a little band called the Jonas Brothers...So cool right? Meaghan was sooo sweet! We actually got to photograph Rebecca's rehearsal dinner that was also Meaghan's premiere party for Camp rock as well. Maybe I'll post some of those as well. Okay! Here comes the last shot:
And of course a slideshow!!! For some reason Blogger wouldn't let me load this straight on to the page, so just click HERE for the direct link.
