Where to even being with this ADORABLE wedding………..Every detail made me say, “are you kidding me??” P.S.- this is my general reaction to everything unexpected or exciting……it’s either that or “holy crap!”
Grace & Adam went all out. Or should I say Grace, her mom, her sisters and her friends went all out, ha! I think the thing that did me in the most were the bouquets. I’ve seen the whole brooch bouquet, but this bouquet was AMAZING. It was a combination of cute fabric flowers (done in colors to match the wedding) that were made out of random fabric as well as………get this……..fabric from HER MOM’S WEDDING DRESS. Then it had little bling accents with vintage like jewelry and they even put the tag from her mom’s wedding dress in there and made it look awesome. I could NOT get over these bouquets. There was not a single living flower in them….but it looked like real flowers from a distance. It wasn’t till you got up close that you saw how pretty and detailed they were. See…..I can’t even stop talking about them right now. Stop me :-)
Next were the bridesmaid dresses. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a dress that they WILL actually be able to wear again. They fit in with the whole theme SO well and then paired with nude colored shoes and the gorgeous bouquets………..beautiful! Everything about this wedding was gorgeous. The location, the weather, the decor, etc. Grace was STUNNING and Adam was handsome. Seriously- I’m still gushing about this wedding and it happened OVER A WEEK ago, ha!
Let’s move onto the reception. First of all- they had old white windows above each sort of “station” with the title of station hand painted in a Tiffany color blue color. Like “gifts” for the gift table or “love is sweet!” for the dessert table, etc. For the guest book area, they had one that said “leave your mark.” They had a big, framed bulletin board with a smaller framed 5×7 picture of them in the middle. Then they had all different types of scrapbook like paper cut into notecard size and then they had people leave their advice or just write a congratulatory note on these cards and then pin them to the bulletin board…..with cute push pins :-) THOSE are the details I LOVE. The push pins matched the smaller frame. Details, details, details. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any cuter….it did. As they were eating dinner, I slowly realized it was a Family Style dinning experience. Everyone sat at long tables and then the food was served in serving dishes you would find at your grandmas house and the main entree’s were set out in the middle of the tables on platters. Everything was passed around. EVEN THE DISHES were family style. Grace found a place in Springfield that did miss-matched china sets. CUTEST thing I’ve ever seen. Coming from a big family- of course I went nuts over this idea. Such a warm, fuzzy feeling :-)
There are SO many more details I can gush about, but I’m sure Grace & Adam would much rather see their pictures :-) You guys were SO great to work with and it was so much fun getting to photograph a wedding that had all the creative detail and new ideas. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day, enjoy your sneak peek!!!
I LOVE IT when we’re able to work out the timing so that I’m able to be there during the getting ready process. These next few pictures are from one of the funniest “putting on the dress” moments I’ve ever witnessed. Grace is TINY and she had her dressed fitted to match her body almost EXACTLY. Like it was painted on or something. When you go for that perfect fit, sometimes it takes a little work to get into it :-) It was hysterical watching them work to get it zipped, ha! Then once it was on- it seriously looked like it slipped right on without a problem.

So cute, right?? Glad I finally got that done :-) A BIG special “thank you!” to Chrissie Neely for helping me out that day. Chrissie is a budding photographer in the Kirksville area and she is one thee SWEETEST girls I’ve ever met! Check out some of her work at http://cneelyphotography.wordpress.com/ You love her :-)
I’ve locked myself in my apartment for today because I would prefer not to melt in this 115 degree heat index. INSANE. I actually had to reschedule a shoot for this evening because the heat index for 5:30 this evening was 112 degrees. I think 112 degrees would make for some grumpy, sweaty kiddos :-) Plus a grumpy, sweaty photographer & mommy, ha!
More sneak peeks to come from shoots I did this weekend!

That has to be one of the prettiest weddings I have ever seen. I love the “flowers”, the Nike’s were the best, and my grandma has that same mixing bowl, the green one with the flowers on it! What a beautiful day!!!!

Beautiful Lissy! Love the “getting into the dress” pics. Who would guess it takes half a dozen people pushing & pulling to do that?!
Mom says
Oh yes Lissy ~ so much fun and you did an amazing job of capturing the details, special moments and the sweet joy of their wedding day….LOVE IT!
Chrissie Neely says
LOVE THEM! I’m so glad I got to help that day! But did you photoshop those bubbles in? Because I thought I was a bubble blowing failure! :)

A further issue is really that video gaming became one of the all-time largest forms of fun for people of nearly every age. Kids play video games, plus adults do, too. The XBox 360 has become the favorite games systems for folks who love to have a huge variety of games available to them, as well as who like to learn live with other people all over the world. Thanks for sharing your opinions.
