deborah and mike wedding

This Saturday was the beautiful wedding of Deborah and Mike. This was a second marriage for both of them but their love for each other was stronger than ever! The decorations followed the “Hawaiian” theme of shells, flowers, and sands. Very peaceful. While the bride was finishing getting ready, I snapped off a few of the background images to help tell the story of their special day.

 

I captured some of the bright color of the party and mixed it with the antique beauty of the wedding rings.

 

After a few of the pre-ceremony images were captured, everyone heading out to the ceremony. The day was sunny and the sky a velvety blue. It was as if the clouds knew to stay away! Yes, even the family dog was in the wedding party. He was decked out in his wedding gear and ready to party!  

 

The ceremony was pleasant, one of the prettiest I have experienced. The couple wrote their own wedding vows and as such they were full of love and laughs. The ceremony wrapped up with each family member (Deborah and her kids and Michael and his kids) all pouring out a cup of colored sand into a vase – representing the joining of the two families. Magic! Having done a great of wedding, this was a first for me.

 

The rest of the evening was spent with family, laughs, and fun. Very low key and relaxed.

 

Congratulations to Deborah and Michael!
Best wishes to both you and your children start the next chapter in your lives together.
