Mr. and Mrs. Smith ** 3.28.09


Saturday was a great day to get hitched, and Jodi and Larry went ahead and did just that on this last Saturday in March! The weather ended up being not-so-bad, and we got lots of great pictures. Everyone, especially my bride and groom, were great to work with, and I even ran into some great people from previous weddings I've done. I had a terrible time however, trying to decide which pictures to post, so there are more here than I usually put up! The gorgeous flowers, by the way, are from Shelly Johnson of Shelly's Design's Florist, my favorite florist in town! As usual, they are completely stunning!!



I found the coolest chair in one of the room's in the church basement, had to borrow it for these detail pics...

Jodi's gorgeous dress..


Table decor at the reception, this is a cool ball of flowers!!



We went to Spring Grove Park for a few fun pics, the park was actually closed yet this time of year, but that didn't stop us!

First dance...

Mom's enjoying the toasts...

and a very long.... poem!








Larry and Jodi had a Photo Booth (Miphotobooth.com) at the reception! These are so much fun!! This is the second wedding that I've done that had one... I think they are becoming very popular!











I love these vines hugging the pillars at the park...

Just pronounced husband and wife...


Kissing his bride!!





In the Party Bus...

Dad escorting his daughter down the aisle...

The flower girl doing her job well!!

Larry and Jodi did a unity bouquet rather than candle. I've never actually seen this done before, they collected white roses from different members of each side of the family during the ceremony, and created a bouquet putting the flowers in the vase, with the single red rose symbolizing themselves... I thought this was a great and unique idea, and includes the whole family...







I love these shots taken from the balcony....


Gettin' a kiss from dad...



The girls wore my favorite color.........yea! aqua dresses........







Poor Jodi, I had her laying down on the steps and all kinds of uncomfortable poses! Not every bride is so willing!!! (Thanks Jodi...)

Let me tell you, this is the cutest couple!!!

Jodi was very excited to see her groom for the first time that day...

Each table had their own cake... how am I supposed to resist wedding cake every Saturday ???


I'm not too sure if the WP was too happy with me for having them run down the hill... although I"M the one who got muddy!!!










You guys look awesome........



I love how Brian (the right name I hope?) is hanging off the end here...this turned out better than I thought it would guys!!


Watch the expressions on the girls faces in these next few shots.... hilarious!


I think Larry is actually doing most of the supporting of himself actually...???



something about this shot that I like...




At least the guys didn't drop Jodi!






















This isn't a very good shot, but if you look closely the bubbles are little bride's and groom's!

Jodi's bros...


























Work it girls!!






Congratulations to this fabulous couple, we had an awesome wedding day, many blessings!
