Their entrance was the greatest!

Gorgeous cake by Myers Creative Cakes.

How cute is this little one!

Julies dance with her Dad…

This first dance was the best I have ever witnessed. They choreographed this awesome dance with a medley of many songs…

Which lead to the dance floor being opened as The Classic’s took the stage.

I do love a great bridal dance….check out Julies brother!

Jimmy’s guys sure did put up a fight.

This image reminds me of Star Wars when they are traveling thru space lol!

Congratulations Julie & Jimmy!!!! Thanks for letting us share in your special day!

How precious is Abigail peeking around Julie while she was getting dressed…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! She is SOO Stunning!!!

Danny did an awesome job capturing this one…there is so much love for Abigail.

A little last minute dress fix before heading back in from the heat.

The new Mr. & Mrs.!

I think Jimmy might have thought I was a little crazy while we were shooting this one… Once he saw their reflection tho he said “AAAhh your shooting us in the bus”.

Abigail joined us once again at Friendship Hill.

These to are so in love, which make for some awesome pictures on an awesome porch.

Love the attitude…

Stay turned for more…

They didn’t let the extremely high heat get in their way…

Love the framing of the flower that Danny caught …

Check out this awesome cake topper that Christina made! Remind you of the previous image?!?  : )

We found a couple of different places to photograph their rings at Bell’s Steak and Sea House in Mount Pleasant, where they held their reception, but this one was one of my favorites.

Christina & her brother during the bridal dance.

Doesn’t Dad look happy…I loved that they shared a “family dance”!

Congratulations Christina & Bill!!! Thanks for letting us share in your awesome day!!!

Isn’t she gorgeous?!

Christina & Bill tied the knot at St. Peter’s Church in Brownsville.

I just adore this church!

Danny was on his toes when he captured this image as she turned around for a split second to look at the crowd.

I love the lines of the door in the front of the church.

And the arches…

This is Christina and her sister, Teresa’s thing…

Love the expressions Danny caught on this one.These two are so in love that its breathtaking…

Stay turned for part 2…I know I’m a little behind in blogging but it was a busy week…cut me some slack : )

Knock, Knock, Knock. Ding, Ding, Ding…don’t let the bride and groom eat! It doesn’t quite rhyme but hey that is what it’s really like.

I love her ring!

Danny captured this image from their first dance. Its romantic…oh, and it really shows how awesome her hair was!

Herb’s Dad made me laugh!

The “bridal party” dance.

This had to be one of the funniest, I guess you would call it, garter dance.

These next couple images are from the bridal dance, or dollar dance. I absolutely love everything about them!  I mean, who doesn’t love to wait in line dancing and cheering to the best polka song ever to pay a dollar,or five, or ten, or twenty, to dance with the gorgeous bride and receive a piece of cake and/or shot at the end? But the best is the emotion that happens at the end of the line. The parents are always last to dance with the bride before their daughter is taken away…but usually not with out a fight.  I LOVE this image so full of emotion. I mean come on, look at Amanda holding onto her Dad’s pinky…it doesn’t get much better then this!

I thought Herb was going to have a tough fight to get to Amanda but instead he pulled a fast one on EVERYONE…well except me!

Congratulations again Amanda & Herb! It was an honor to share in your special day!!! Many, many years of happiness to the two of you!

Looks like Herb needed to keep a better eye on his guys. LOL!

Amanda, your stunning…

I love cathedral veils! 

Cheers to arriving at the Hopwood Social Hall for the reception.

Stay turned for the fun reception…

Amanda’s flowers, from White Swan, were so gorgeous that this butterfly decided to enjoy the beauty as well.

Isn’t she breathtaking?

Bella didn’t want to miss any of the action.

Amanda and her MOH and sister, Danielle.

All the girls plus Bella in the window…

Amanda & Herb were married at  St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Uniontown.

The handsome groom…

The new Mr. & Mrs.!

I have to credit this next shot to Danny, somehow I always end up just a little jealous of his bubble shots….maybe I should start trading him places and lenses…

More to come of their awesome wedding day soon!
