Margaux & Adam. Married.
Eat, Drink and Be Married was the theme of the day. And that they did!
This wedding goes down in history as THE FUNNEST BUNCH OF PEEPS WE’VE EVER PHOTOGRAPHED. I know that is a HUGE thing to admit. Well, if you knew them, you’d TOTALLY AGREE! They were SO hilarious. I just giggle thinking about it.
Pinnacle Golf Club. In my hometown…Grove City. We are so proud to have it here. When you drive back here and approach this beautiful building it doesn’t even feel like you are in Grove City or Ohio, really.
Margaux’s present to her groom. A travel box full of memories and a place to keep new ones. (oh, and a snazzy watch.)
You’ll see this in play later…
Trying to get this cool dress shot was kind of a BIG deal. The groom was EVERYWHERE. We were hiding behind corners looking for him so he wouldn’t see us carrying her dress. And when we found the perfect spot, I realized… I’m short. I couldn’t reach the dag on iron thingy. Roberta saved the day. With her tall legs. Shew. Needless to say, I’m pretty darn proud of these cool dress shots. And notice the brides taste in fabulous hangers.

The gold mirror in the center was her grandmother’s mirror. Brought here so Margaux could see her beautiful reflection while getting ready on her wedding day.
About to make her first appearance in her wedding gown.

Margaux was such a STUNNING bride. And just so naturally happy. She has THAT personality. The type of person you just always wanna be around because you know you are going to laugh, smile and be yourself. Love you Margaux, rock it out girl!
The bride excitingly asked me to do a photo session with the girls where they do all kinds of fun poses, switching it up vogue style. Um, yes. Rock it out. Rock it out. ROCK IT OUT. YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS!
Awwwwww, so cute!
They were so happy and full of laughs. I had to make no corny jokes to get these reactions…ALL NATURAL FUN! (Margaux, I have to show you this picture hanging up in my dining room. All big and fabulous.)Kissing cousins. (They’ve done this since they were little.)
Jewelry worn by four generations. Here’s proud momma showing it off.
These groomsmen were AWESOME. They pretty much posed themselves. I’d say, now look cool…and I’d get this FABULOUSNESS right here…
Ha. This photo cracks me up. It reminds me of that Duck Hunt Nintendo game. I came across this while editing and busted out laughing. Ana or Roberta, whoever captured this or set this up….HILARIOUS!
Hello, Mr. Weinandy.

Hahahhahahahahhaha. Adam looks so scared. The bridesmaids look so even more.
Handsome. Times Six. And the red sunglasses are SERIOUSLY too cool for school.
Red socks, too! Even the dad’s had them on!
Groom. Groom’s dad. Bride’s dad. Good stuff.
It’s good luck for your bridesmaids to sign the bottom of your wedding shoes. (I may or may not have made that up, but it sounds good, huh?!)
My fave from the day. I love everything about it.
It’s ALMOST TIME!!!!
Margaux’s dad told jokes as they walked down the aisle. She was literally laughing out loud. It was SO cute.
He read a book about what father’s are supposed to do on their daughter’s wedding day. (what a good dad!) The book recommended saying something funny while walking down the aisle. It worked. She was cracking up!
She took his breath away.
They wrote their own wedding vows. They were witty, endearing and personal. LOVE.
Second fave from the day. (Okay, I can’t just pick one.)
Listening to the soloist sing. It was pretty amazing. Not a dry eye in the house.
What is this?
Margaux is short. Adam is tall. What do we do about this? Stand on a stool for the first kiss. DUH.
See the stool. Hehe.
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL.
Roberta had to climb on the roof for this. (Love you, Berta. Way to be superwoman!)
The balloon release. In remembrance of their loved ones that could not be physically present.
Can I have a third favorite? Because this would be it. (Ana’s view with the 135L)
My view with the wide angle.
Roberta’s view from the roof.
Stunning. Just stunning.
Ha. Adam, I love the knee bend. 🙂
Rock it out. J. Crew style. (Ellen, you’re so cute!)
These guys are AWESOME. We seriously tried this shot like ten times.
And Margaux rocks my socks. I didn’t realize she was doing a straddle jump (And HIGH) until I was editing. Makes me laugh.
Red heart rings. A fun touch. And the guys showing off their fancy watches.

Yay, spin around and around and around. Like a pretty princess on your wedding day!
This, right here, is what it’s all about.
Um, I love this. Adam, frame this and put it on your desk at work. Your co-workers will flock.
It’s all in the details! (Margaux is a graphic designer. Obvi!)
Let’s PARTAY!

Oh La La.
Light Girl, working her magical light.
Soulja BoOOOYYYY!!!!
Sweet treats. The different icing and cake denoted by the color of heart on the top of the cupcake. Pretty clever!
This heart denotes LOVE. Cake flavor = Happily Ever After with a diamond sprinkle of FUN.
This lady told me right after this picture that the last time her husband did this while they were dancing (on vacation) she broke her foot.Good times had by ALL!
The Jo Foto Booth…
Ashley and Demi, trainers at That Gym on Grandview, could NOT GET OUT OF THE FOTO BOOTH. There is seriously like 30 pictures of them. Craig said everytime they would go to the restroom or bar they’d stop at the booth. Crazy kids.
Behind the scenes. (Where ALL the fun happens!)
Best picture RUINER EVER.
Or is she?
Cutie pa-tooties. Tasha came to run the foto booth.
I love to cuddle with my brides.
Love that smirk!
Papa, papa, paparazzi.
Dude, she totally started it.
Tasha, did Light Girl steal your tripod? Thief.
And every post should end with a picture of my baby girl. She loves to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY while mommy edits, edits, edits. Precious Pixie Pie.
