a wedding but I managed to do it twice during their portrait session at Canton Garden Center. \u00a0In my defense, it was snowy and I discovered my Crocs don&#8217;t grip quite as much as I thought they would. \u00a0Not only did I fall &#8211; I completely wiped out! \u00a0Feet out from under me and landing on my backside kind of fall. \u00a0Nothing was harmed besides my pride though (although I did have a few impressive bruises). \u00a0The snow also padded me which was nice! \u00a0Poor Melanie and Lance felt so bad but I thought it was hilarious and still laugh at myself when I look at their pictures.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0There were a ton of kiddos at this wedding and it was quite fun because they all had such a blast! \u00a0They were very high energy and just a joy to watch shake it out on the dance floor. \u00a0By the end of the night there was a line of blankets along the wall and kids were crashed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0I love when I have winter weddings because I personally think there are fewer things more beautiful than a forest after a snowfall. \u00a0Despite the falling, I&#8217;m so glad that Melanie and Lance went out with me into the snow for their pictures. \u00a0Some of my favorite images from a wedding session ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0I have to give them props for braving the winter AND for thinking of their bridal party and choosing to go outside without them. \u00a0Isn&#8217;t that sweet??<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Wedding Vendors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cake: \u00a0<a
