* I’m happy to be back to bullets for weddings.  Makes life easier!

* Michele, Vito and I all have birthdays within days of each other.  February babies are the best.  Just sayin’.

* I adored the vintage theme and feel to this wedding.  If I could ever go back to a certain era it would be the early 1900’s for me.  This wedding tickled my vintage fancy.

* Michele may be the most relaxed bride I’ve ever had.

* When I say relaxed, I mean relaxed!  When I asked about her flowers (which were gorgeous) she said she just told the florist that she only wanted dark red roses in the bouquets.  That’s it.  See what I mean?  Dream bride!

* The Canton Club just may win for best reception food I’ve ever had.  It was divine.

* I love that all the jewelry Michele wore was given to her by Vito.

* Michele’s Mom was the most prepared Mom I’ve ever known.  Everything from Static Guard to Scissors was in her purse!

I LOVED Michele’s dress.  LOVED.  It also fit perfectly with The Canton Club’s decor!

 

Her shoes were pretty awesome as well!

 

The final touches… love this moment!

 

The moment that the bride sees the groom for the first time always gets me!

 

Isn’t this location gorgeous?

 

The ring exchange.

 

The almost kiss… love love love when I can capture this.

 

Michele’s dress was beautiful BUT the netting overlay kept getting caught on the detailing on the front of the dress.  Vito tried to help out in the limo but we ended up having to call in a bridesmaid to help!

 

You wouldn’t know it (yay for black and white) but it was almost pitch black by this point.

 

Just a wee bit of light left but my super awesome camera makes it look like it’s daylight.  Go Nikon!  Oh and these bridesmaids are troopers for going out in the cold for pics!  I LOVE the way the bouquets looked against the grey dresses.

 

Group hug!

 

I finally got a chance to have another group of groomsman throw snowballs!  This hasn’t happend since December 2007!  They were also troopers as the snow was COLD.  I think they had fun with it though!

 

Ahhh finally time with the bride and groom… and how cute are they?

 

I love the way they walked together.

 

🙂  🙂  🙂

 

While we were gone, they transformed the room from ceremony to reception.  Stunning.

Who knew places like this existed in Canton?

 

Rings!

 

I loved that even during the Electric Slide (which is currently on a loop in my head!) they held hands.

 

After a bit of fun during the reception, I snuck the bride and groom away for a few more pictures inside the building.  This picture makes me think this is how they cuddle when they are on the couch watching tv as they both are so relaxed and at ease.

 

 

 

Michele, you are a beauty!

 

Vito, you looked pretty dapper yourself!

 

Thanks so much for having me along the day of your wedding!!!
