kelly & jim’s wedding day dawned slightly overcast- in a calm, cool kinda way. as the day progressed it turned from a little cloudy to dark as night and the rain came with gusto. as the ladies finished getting ready we all agreed we’d heard that rain on your wedding day is good luck- so kelly & jim? LUCKIEST COUPLE EVER! she laughed as she recounted her desire for a beach themed wedding, but just not on a beach- in case it rained. that’s some foresight!
anyway while we were finishing up, matt was at the church scouting indoor locations for some portraits as well as capturing the guy’s finishing touches. actually, i’m not sure what ‘guy’s finishing touches’ entails but judging by matt’s pictures every week it seems to include mostly eating and goofing off. and maybe readjusting a jacket or two:
matt found some pretty striking sheltered locations at the church and we got started right away!
kelly, who rarely wears makeup (because she doesn’t need to at all!), went with light, natural makeup for her wedding day. perfect for a beach themed wedding and just the right compliment to her bold earrings and romantically ruffled dress.
before we knew it, it was time for the ceremony! full of sweet moments and lots of smiles, the ceremony was a definite celebration of a marriage eight years in the making!
we grabbed a few quick portraits before they were introduced and the party started! we laughed along with everyone else at the hilarious toasts and quickly found ourselves swept up in the celebration. capturing it was a blast!
kelly & jim, we are so happy for you guys! thank you so much for having us at your wedding- we wish you the very best!
