Leslie & Mark's Wedding Preview

The formatting on my photography blog is giving me trouble, so I want to post a few blogs here until I get my business blog at vcbphotography.com up to par!

More than a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Leslie, Mark and their beautiful little girl, Kaylee. I was photographing their family/engagement session and we had a blast! Watching Kaylee play football with her mom and dad I could just tell they were a really fun family, and boy was I right! When they asked me to be their wedding photographer I was elated, and here we are a year later, and their evening affair at the Abita Quail Farm was nothing short of magical.

We started out their day getting ready, and man do these girls know how to have some fun.

  

I took some shots of Leslie's gorgeous dress, shoes, and flowers.

When everyone was dressed we went outside to get some photos of Leslie and her girls.

Back inside as we waited for the ladies' limo to arrive the real fun began...

Shots!

No freaking out conservative peeps, little Kaylee's was alcohol free! lol.

When we arrived at the venue - I was blown away, it was so beautiful and I loved the decor!

The men arrived looking handsome right on queue for the ceremony!

The ceremony took place on a really unique deck that was overlooking the lagoon.

Kaylee was so excited to see her Mommy and Daddy get married!

Leslie started tearing up the second she walked out of the door, it was so sweet!

The deck was gorgeous!

You could feel the energy between them, they were so excited, about to be married!

Mark's smile never left his face.

Leslie was glowing.

Rings were exchanged.

The candle was lit.

And a first kiss was shared. (I love Kaylee's big smiling face!)

After the ceremony we took some awesome family portraits!

 And then went on to the reception. After their grand entrance Mark lit some meat on fire, it was really cool and definitely a first for me to capture!

The first dance was up next.

True love at it's best.

Mark and his mother.

And Leslie with her Father. These dances always put happy tears in my eyes!

The cake was cut and garter and bouquet toss was too cute!

After all the traditional wedding things, the party really got started. The maid of honor and best man made sure of that!

 And they ended it with a kiss!

 Thank you. thank you. thank you Leslie and Mark for including me on this beautiful day. I truly had a blast with you two!! I wish you all the happiness in the world.
