Dana & Craig {weddingDay}

39 Comments 27 October 2009

Adrienne MaplesIt was a beautiful, cold day when Dana & Craig finally tied the Knot.  I say ‘finally’ with a little laugh… as these two have been together forever!!  I remember joking with them during our SUPER hot engagement session- we laughed about how long they’ve known each other & how long Craig has known he wanted to marry her.  But Dana’s the kind of girl who likes to play hard to get ;)

This is the groom’s father & you’ll notice his brother-in-law, Tom-Tommy-Thomas, in the background.  I adored these two guys!  Their wonderful smiles could light a room- just look at this man.  You couldn’t tell he had a care in the world, just a happy, smiling face.  I picked on these guys all day long, just to hear them laugh.

Dana with her two gorgeous sisters!  Ashlee & I shot her sisters wedding (Robin on the left) just a couple of years ago.  It was fun reuniting with everyone for this happy day.  We laughed & pretended it was a bit warmer.

Private moment for the bride & groom.  Dana asked me if she was allowed to kiss him!

My reply, ‘Of Course!!’

It was a relief when the reverend arrived!  He had gotten stuck in the Houston airport & had begun to think he would not make it on a flight out.img_9937

We took a few bridal portraits outside just before the ceremony.  Dana was freezing but she sucked it up long enough to get a few great portraits. This was one of my favorites, she doesn’t even look like she’s that cold…

I enjoyed the Reverends ceremony- it was engaging & had a few hilarious moments.  He has known the couple for many years & it was great to see how personal this can make your ceremony.  He kept the congregation laughing & entertained while getting his point across.

On the way to the reception we stopped off at a rehab facility to visit with Dana’s grandmother.  The whole family stopped by to say hello & it was a wonderful experience for all.  I remembered her grandma from Robin’s wedding

I thought the little Halloween decorations that lined the hall were kind of funny-

There were PLENTY of jokes about how long the bride & groom have known one another… I am pretty sure Dana was getting on to someone in this shot.  It makes me laugh!!
