Being a little camera shy, Elizabeth & Michael chose to have a ‘First Look’.  It allowed us to get all the photos so they could enjoy their ceremony and reception … we casually walked around the park (with their 2 dogs in tow) and just took our time capturing photos.   They exchanged vows at the Celebration Pavillion (now called the Chapel in the Park) in Queen Elizabeth Park and then cocktail hour at Seasons in the Park with the Arcato Ensemble playing in the background while they mingled with their guests …

It was a lovely day … for a lovely couple …

P.S.  I told you it wasn’t going to rain

This broach has been in this family for many generations … all the previous brides have always worn it on their bodice … Elizabeth chose to wear it in her hair.  Her grandmother was thrilled that she wore it as well … it looked beautiful.

Elizabeth and Michael did a Swing dance for their first dance … more on that later … here is the dress that she was going to wear with it … so cute!  love all the crinoline!

Anticipating seeing Michael… she looked so regal!  People asked her if she was a professional model that day … she totally could be

It’s time to get married … her dad was so emotional during the ceremony … it was very sweet …

and I had to laugh because Elizabeth is a lawyer and that is the first time I have ever seen the bride actually read the marriage certificate to the witnesses

After dinner we saw a beautiful sunset so we scooted outside for another shot.

This was one of the coolest first dances I have ever seen … they did a “Swing” dance … I had way to many photos to choose from …

There are some people that come into your life where you instantly feel comfortable with them … I felt that way with Elizabeth … I think she is an absolute doll and am very honored to have photographed their wedding! I wish you both all the best!
