We started the day with Eleina at Christ Church Cathedral, where she put on her beautiful dress from Misora Bridal. The cool, overcast day was perfect to get lots of photos of the bridesmaid and groomsmen outside. The church does not allow photography during the ceremony, but we were able get some candid shots of Eleina and her dad (with the amazing planner, Kelly from Eventology, just behind them) as she was getting ready to enter the church.
After the ceremony, we were able to recreate parts of the wedding, including a fun dip kiss. And speaking of dip kisses, if there were an award to the best dip kissing clients, they would win hands down!
The reception was just few streets away at the Crystal Ballroom at the Rice Hotel. Eleina requested a portrait inside the ballroom before doors were open, and it turned out to be one of my favorite shots of the evening. My other favorite photos were during the cake cutting, where Eleina and Paul’s fun personality was captured perfectly. At the end of the night, they shared a private dance (with a dip kiss, of course) and a rose petal exit.
Instead of rushing through portraits on the wedding day, we met up with Eleina and Paul on Sunday for a post-wedding session. It was a fun and relaxing way to get tons of great images of the couple. I really love post-wedding sessions, as we can take our time and have fun to capture stunning portraits of the couple.
