Erica and Ben Powell April 25th, 2009


Well Ben and Erica got married on one of April's rainiest days last weekend, the 25th, but it was all good! They had the beautiful wine cellars of Noto's Old World Italian Restaurant to have pictures done in, so in the grand scheme of things, it didn't matter! Turned out perfectly actually. I was having way too much fun in the cellar doing all kinds of creative and fun pictures, and ended up going for a very "old fashioned" look, which was perfect for this setting. Plus we did many of the extended family shots on the staircase, and thanks to the wooden wine boxes down there, that all worked out as well. The reception was absolutely gorgeous as well as the flowers, and the bride and groomed looked pretty darn good too! Erica had a gorgeous all lace gown, and a long, long flowy veil that I got to "play" with picture-wise. (Love these!) Loved the colors as well, purples and lavenders combined with teals and whites. Beautiful! Thanks again to the relatives of Ben and Erica whose gorgeous home we used for the getting ready pictures and the ladies.

What a handsome couple!

Again, I couldn't help myself but to go for the old fashioned look here... there are also plenty of smiles, but I was partial to these...
