Becca and Ken Married - Nashville Wedding Photographer

It has been driving me crazy that I have not posted anything on my blog for 2 weeks! I have been drowning in a sea of pictures ever since I returned from vacation.  I am finally seeing the light, however.  So . . . expect some good blog posts over the next week!

Ok, so a few weeks ago I drove over to Nashville to shoot Becca and Ken's wedding at St. Bartholomew's Church. It was a lovely time as I was able to catch up with lots of friends.  I also had two wonderful hosts Bethany and Eric that gave me a comfy bed to sleep in while I was there.  I highly recommend the B&E B&B :)

I will start off by saying that I'm a little jealous that both Becca and Ken work at Disney World. And, honestly, their wedding was the most animated wedding I have ever seen . . . as you will shortly see. There were many times over the course of the day that I would be shooting and then start looking around like, "Is anyone else seeing this? This is HYSTERICAL!" Becca, of course, looked beautiful and was not afraid to let her personality shine despite the 100 degree heat index.  Last minute, the reception was moved from the outside courtyard into the parish hall so that guests would not pass out into what I like to call a "sunshine coma."  Although I consider myself to be a pretty good story teller, the SLIDESHOW has music so that pretty much trumps anything I have to say.  I'll give it a shot though.

The day begins early as the bride and bridesmaids get ready.

The beautiful bride is taken to the sanctuary for a few pictures! It was REALLY hot outside!

We brave the heat for some bridal party pics! I love how everyone looks so happy!

The girls get relieved from the heat and I bring out the guys!  I think they look game ready!

Family pictures are taken.  This is Uncle John, who will be walking Becca down the aisle.  Uncle John's "love tap" backfires as his hand gets soaked with sweat! LOL!

Ceremony time arrives and Becca is walked down the aisle.

Just as the ceremony begins, I capture this delightful picture of grandma which inspires the following QUIZ:

Complete the following: Grandma is . . .
a) changing her watch to central time to keep an accurate mental record of the day's festivities
b) part of the CIA and communicating with the Russians through her watch like Dick Tracy
c) setting a 30 minute "Time's Up!" beep so the priest knows we're ready to booze it
d) old habits die hard

Judging from the next picture, I'm gonna go with answer C.

Rings have officially been exchanged.

Two souls are happily wed and are ready for the reception.

At the reception Ken gathers the children around for story time.

However, the matron of honor has her own ideas for Ken.

The bride gets booty-bumped by her best friend and the rest is history.

And that's the way I saw it! :) haha! Ok, ok . . . the SLIDESHOW's probably way better.
