Carlee & Parker: July 12, 2008

From the first time I met with Carlee and Parker, I just knew their wedding was going to be fabulous!! Carlee has a background in event planning, and to say she is detail oriented would be the understatement of the year!   

Carlee and Parker both have such vibrant personalities...I had so much fun working with them both!   Everything about their wedding was so 'them'.  From the converse sneakers that Parker sported during the ceremony - to the Dolce & Gabbana heels Carlee wore for the ceremony (and then changed into her pair of converse for the reception) - to the hashbrown bar (they celebrated their engagement by going to Waffle House) - and finally their New Years send off (they met NYE). Everything was just perfect and so thought out.

Here are a few from their wedding day:

Getting ready at Carlee's Parent's home:

They decided on a "First Look" which is where the bride and groom see each other pre-ceremony.  It takes some of the stress and emotions away, and reduces the amount of time needed for pictures after the ceremony.

They got married at Spring Valley Baptist Church -where Justin and I got married a little over 3 years ago.  This was only the second wedding I've shot here - and I really appreciated the marvelous light in the church.

The Kiss!!  I especially love PJ, the maid of honor, smiling on the side.

First Dance

The band was "Men of Distinction" HIGHLY recommended by me! They kept the party going all night! SO much fun!!

The "New Years" exit - complete with noise makers and hats.  Such a sweet idea, since they met on New Years.

I hope y'all have fun in Canada!!

I just love all the songs that go along with your slideshows!! Do you pick them out yourself, or do you use their first dance songs? It's making it very hard to pick a song....too many good ones, and this particullarly is no exception!!
