I mentioned here that I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful couple on their special day. The minute I arrived I immediately noticed quiet busy-ness. As I made my way through, I realized these busy folks were family...happily contributing their part of this momentous day to the start of Laura and Joe's life together. There was Laura's beautiful sister, Katie frosting the cake. YES! Frosting the cake like 1 hour before showtime! Smiling all the way through it, never breaking a sweat. Laura's equally lovely mother, Beth. Happily strumming along creating her vision of her daughter's day into reality... Look at that gorgeous centerpiece! Pumpkins encased in beautiful glass displays emblazoned with autumnal colors sparkling with a hint of glitter. Absolutely gorgeous!
The tables carried the theme... silverware with aged bronze handles that finished in swirls, each place setting received a candied apple dipped in caramel and chocolate. At night the tent was lit with mood setting everglow mini lights and the surrounding trees even had their own glow.
The colors...OH, the glorious, beautiful colors. Deep oranges and yellows mixed with a lush crimson laid out on the beautiful canvas of green that captured the days golden falling leaves...
Incredible vision that Laura's mother Beth held in her mind's eye... mixed in with the physical beauty of it all was the incredible warmth and love that was generated within this family and emanated through to those who witnessed and celebrated. This truly was a family affair, from their officiant, to the close friends of the family who prepared the feast, to the flowers, to Joe's dad and his homemade apple pies from their family orchard- and I'm sure so many more to mention-, it was physically beautiful and inwardly magical.
I'll end this post with a little music and this cute little guy. He was very content in making little dirt roads with his little monster truck creating his own brand of magic. Happy Thursday!!
