Holiday weddings are amazing. Danielle and Brian's was no exception. The church was all decked out for the holiday and come to think of it... so was everyone!
All in Bloom did a FAB job on the flowers!!! I loved that the maids of honor had a slightly different look than the other bridesmaids.
I love that she attached a special memento to her bouquet.
Remember in the movie "27 dresses" when she talks about always looking at the groom while the bride comes up the aisle? A couple of these bridesmaids subscribe to that theory and I can see why. Brian has a great smirk!
During the ceremony, the couple sat in the first pew which made photographing them a little challenging. I snuck up there and got a couple of profiles but for some reason, this photo is my favorite from there. I love the way she's got her arm wrapped in his and her flowers are next to her.
During the ceremony, Andy got this photo of Danielle just before the ring exchange.
Check out Brian's expression. It makes me think "Tee hee!!! We're getting married!!!" Not that boys say Tee hee but... you get the idea!
Portrait time!!! St. Anthony's has this very cool black stone wall.....
And like good little OSU alums, they wanted photos on campus. Unlike most alums, their spot of choice was The Schott!!! Apparently, Danielle did a little interning for Mr. Matta, so The Schott was more her style. I LOVE that her style is a little different than most. I think we sometimes forget that OSU has a rockin' basketball program too. :)
Ask for a jump photo.... and you'll get it.
Then, we headed to the shoe for a couple of photos! Don't you love the bridesmaids' dresses? They're vintage-y and modern all at the same time!
Well. It was cold. Like really, really cold. My trigger finger went numb kind of cold so.... Off to the Union and this is my FAVE photo from there!!!!!
After I got the group photo I loved.... I managed to get a photo of the two of them that I love even more....
And where else would good little alumni have their reception? The Blackwell. Of course. How do you like her table decor?
Her unity candle was unique. I liked that it had a little bling to it. It sat on their table during dinner.
The Blackwell served the most adorable cocktails!!! I must say, I really wanted to try one but... on the job so I guess I'll have to go visit another time.
Favors were holiday ornaments! Adorable.
A big intro....
then a toast from dad and a slide show. How adorable are her parents?!!! I love all the slide show reactions.
Throughout the slide show and the toasts, Danielle and Brian were always holding hands. So sweet!
Red velvet for this wedding!!! Again, just a little different... And did you notice that Danielle switched from a traditional veil and pearls to a fun & funky headpiece with a blingy necklace? LOVE it!!!!
I've said it a million times. Dancing is the best part!!! When I look at the next two pictures, I still find it hard to believe that they aren't alone. They're actually surrounded by family and friends.
Once the formal events were over, it was time to really celebrate and they absolutely did!!!!
I know a lot of wedding don't have children attending but kids are so cute!!! And they were a big part of this day. They got the party started!!!
And had just as much fun as the grown-ups.
Sometimes, they just watched.....
And sometimes, they watched me....
Danielle and Brian's wedding was truly a blast!!! They're hanging at home until after the holiday and then they're off on a honeymoon!!! Congrats you guys!!!!
On a side note, one of their guests was a fellow Columbus photographer, Jim Sanders. We're facebook friends but this was the first time we've actually met. I think Jim is an amazing photographer and it was a real pleasure to meet him and his fantastic wife!!!
So... I missed blogging yesterday.... Did I say a post every day? Or did I say 30 posts in 30 days? Yikes... It's ridiculous that I missed one so early in the game but... I'm cutting myself some clack. It's been a very busy couple of days. :) I'll make it up to you. I promise.
