After the the processional began it was my turn to walk down the aisle with my dad. I know this moment is one of the highlights for most brides, but I wish it had gone a little slower. I wanted to take it all in and meet the eyes of our friends and family. It felt very surreal and almost like I was watching a movie (sort of an out of body experience). It wasn’t until I was almost down the aisle that it really clicked that it wasn’t practice — this was IT. I even bumped into one of our pew decorations on my way to Mr. Onion!

So happy (this was RIGHT before I bumped into the flower tin on the pew end)! The things you notice — Mr. Onion said he had no idea.
Andy was shooting upstairs while Daria was downstairs. Check out the paparazzi — between our family and friends and our professional photographer (Daria) and videographer (Wes) — we had it covered. The funny thing is I was mostly unaware of any of the cameras, I was just a little nervous that everyone was focused on me.

This is funny — when I got to the altar I forgot I was supposed to kiss my father so there was an awkward pause which felt like much longer than I’m sure it was.

Then our wonderful minister whispered “you can kiss your father goodbye.”

As I mentioned, while Daria was downstairs, Andy was upstairs. Great perspective and nice shot of our white and purple tulips decorating the church.

This photo is cool, but almost looks like no one showed up for our wedding! The church was really large and of our 45 people in attendance, nine of us were standing up front, so it made it look even smaller.

This is a great depth of field shot (for those photography geeks out there) — tulips in the foreground and the bride and groom out of focus in the background.

It really was such a bright and beautiful church.

And the ceremony begins…

Next up…the ceremony continues with readings, a song or two and a tear or two!
