Laurie & Rod’s Pro Photos
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted the photo of Laurie & Rod at Taco Bell? There was also a link to the slideshow created by photographer Lara Swanson. In case you missed it, I just got a full set of images! Here’s my favorites:
Wasn’t Laurie such a pretty bride? She didn’t let the rain bother her at all:
Okay, Rod looked pretty sharp too:
Laurie & I finalizing a few last-minute details:
A gorgeous indoor Meadowlark ceremony:
All set up for the reception after the room flip:
Maryam did such a great job. Here’s a centerpiece up close:
Meadowlark after the sun has gone down:
The cherry blossom wedding cake with amazing detailed sugar flowers:
If that weren’t enough sugar for you, check out the rockin’ candy buffet:
And a whole lot of personalized M&Ms:
Laurie is one of my husband’s former coworkers. Here’s the four of us during the reception. I love how both the boys have the same odd expression on their faces:
As part of her services, Lara is now offering a photobooth! It prints on-site in just a few seconds and is really a lot of fun. Even though there was a seasonal martini bar (pumpkin pie martinis!), an extensive candy buffet, an awesome DJ, and a wonderful bride and groom, I think this photobooth was the life of the party:
I think the best part about the photobooth is that you get all the images included with your regular wedding photos. Here’s a couple of fun shots it captured:
Like I mentioned above, these newlyweds and their bridal party decided to take a limousine to Taco Bell after the reception. I’m a fan whenever couples stop in their favorite places (my husband and I did this at Ben & Jerry’s). I love the vibrant images from their adventure:
Can you see what that hot sauce packet says?
