“A Hodgepodge of Rustic Elegance”….that’s how Paige described her wedding theme to me. And so it was just that and so much more! I honestly have never seen so many signs, so many special touches as were at Paige and Matt’s wedding.  I love, love vintage chic and I’d say she really hit her goal. Everything was perfect, creative and well thought out- right down to their “Rockin’ Guest Book, an oak rocker for guests to actually autograph! How cute is that??

Even her wedding program was original, with the entire wedding party shown in silhouette in cute poses with their names and relationships to the couple noted. I thought it was a fun idea to try to mimic the program poses for one of the wedding party photos and, no surprise, everyone was up to the challenge. See if you think we did a good job of copying the card….!

Paige and Matt’s wedding was fun, pretty, detailed and unique. The one memory that stands out to me is the always-full dance floor. I see a lot of weddings, and I can tell you that I have rarely if ever seen a group of more enthusiastic dancers! Honestly, the floor was full the ENTIRE night! I’m sure many were sore the next day from some of the moves I saw.

{ Crystal + Trevor • May 17, 2014 • Presquile Farm }

This one was different for me…for one thing, I’ve known the groom’s family for years, one of our children were classmates, and we shared many room mother-ly times together. I also have wonderful memories of the last owner of the home where Crystal and Trevor were married- a beautiful, sophisticated lady if there ever was one. I had done some photography for her several years ago and her style and poise were something I’ve never forgotten. Consequently, I knew the property well and one family enough to know that this was not going to be any “ordinary” wedding.

Sure enough, with some luck from the weather gods, the day was perfect, the company was special and the couple’s obvious joy at marrying each other brought everything together nicely. First, Crystal’s dress- I literally gasped when I saw it- such a perfect dress for a bride with its lace detailing and full skirt. And it fit her to a “t”! And Trevor, wearing his light linen suit and sporting a monogrammed bowtie, well, I can definitely say he and his groomsmen were rockin’ the look!

With the Wye River providing a lovely background, the ceremony couldn’t have been prettier. And, if you look at the photos, friends and family were all present to cheer the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Then, after the obligatory group shots, I had Crystal and Trevor to myself for some romantic couples photos. I love the ones in the lane and even later in the evening, the one with the time exposure heart!

I probably shouldn’t say what a great time I had as I was working and that’s supposed to be serious, right??!! Well, I did have a great time and it was very special to me that these wonderful families chose me to share their day with. I was honored to be even a small part of this fabulous celebration.

I wish Crystal and Trevor the best of marriages and thank them (and their families) for having me.
