Mr. & Mrs. Ben McClain 11.01.08 Married!!


Amber & Ben: Married on Nov. 1st 2008 on a gorgeous fall day, one of our few last ones!
The ceremony was held at Grand Valley's Cook Dewitt Chapel, and the color in the arboretum was beautiful this year. We were able to get lots of great shots with the fall colors back there.
The Reception was held at St. George's Banquet Center, always a lovely party there, with wonderful food!
We also stopped downtown for some fun fall shots on my favorite Rusty Bridge, watch your step on this one! I accidentally posted a couple images twice on this post, woops! The day went absolutely perfect, and I had a wonderful time photographing Amber and Ben!


The Girls in the arboretum, Heather, to the far right, is one of my brides from May of 2007, it was awesome to work with you again!




The day after Halloween, they had to do the "Thriller" dance, one of my favorites!



Love to shoot the clock tower at Grand Valley.....

Amber's parents dancing the night away....








"M" stands for McClain of course!



I loved Amber's bouquet, perfect colors!













Here comes the bride.........




Ben hugging his mom........














Amber had the most adorable little locket on her bouquet, with special pictures of family members inside..., I loved this idea.




This was Amber's gift from Ben with a special note about their future being bright...Awww!!!



And Amber's gift to Ben, a beautiful watch.....



Finishing Touches........






These monogrammed bags with the "M" were perfect.....




Please do not fall in the river!!!!!!!!!!





Gosh, I love laying down on the cold grass for this shot!!! :)






Silly boys.....













Oops, two for the price of one!

Ben, give up......



Loved the candy bar.......
































I love this wall, it makes for a perfect reflection image.....









And of course, all my favorite detail shots!

Thanks again for an awesome day Amber and Ben, congratulations and best wishes!!!!
