The Wedding Photos!

so, for more than a year, I have had these first photos of Sammi when she selected her wedding dress, at fittings, etc, that could never be shared until the wedding itself.

So I just held on to them until the professional wedding photos started showing up.

These are the "preview" photos, which means there could be more in the pipeline, but there are plenty to start with!

So, first, way back in December 2018, Sammi found THE dress, albeit not yet fitted to her.

 

Next, the dress ordered for her, tried on in May

And then in October, alterations appointment #1

Then, the final fitting appointment 

Which finally got us to the wedding itself...

Getting ready shots:

Dad's first look

Then Jason's First Look

Then it was time to get the gigantic wedding party in on the shots. 

The total of guests for this wedding was 50. 

Of that 50? There were 18 in the wedding party!

Time for the ceremony!

Archie was the ring bearer, mom and dad (Kennedy & Drew) are Sam & Jason's best friends in Florida

Lindsey, 21, was the flower girl, but didn't throw flowers, she threw snowflakes.

 all 50 of us!

 all the immediate family members

I had coined the phrase Sam and Jason's Florida mom & dad when Bill and Julie stepped up to take care of these two during hurricanes, trips, dog sittings, and anything else that we weren't able to do 3000 miles away in Colorado while they were at college. So it was very special to have Bill as the officiant and Julie with us. 

On to the Reception!
