On Friday August, 8th (8/8/08), Ben and Shanika, two of our good friends, got married! We’re so excited for them!
We started the day with Shanika and her maid of honor getting their makeup done at the amazing Elea Blake Cosmetics. Darin does an excellent job with makeup and we had a great time with her!
Shanika looked absolutely fabulous for her wedding! I could tell right off that she was going to be relaxed and just enjoy her wedding day. It really showed in her pictures!
The ‘vogue’ look:
Ben and his groomsmen:
Shanika and her girls:
The ring shot:
Shanika’s little neice who was one of the flower girls was just the cutest thing ever. Absolutely adorable!
Shanika was radiant walking down the aisle!
I love this couple! So much fun!
The new Mr. and Mrs. Ben Marshall!
Party time!
They made the place look amazing at night! Love all the lights!
After Ben and Shanika left, the kids and I had some fun! Love this shot!
Ben and Shanika! we are so excited for you! We’ve enjoyed watching your relationship bloom from the beginning and I’m so honored that you picked me to document your big day.
It was so special, just like you two.
