Rich and I had the pleasure to photograph Lori and Eric’s big day, and we couldn’t be more excited to share these photos!
Rich’s day began at Magic Hands Salon while Lori had her hair done by the awesome and talented Joy Roberts. Lori was joined by her mom, sister, niece, and her maid of honor for some fun getting ready girl time!
Lori is absolutely gorgeous.
Rich always amazes me with his ability to capture unscripted moments such as this one. I adore this photo more than words!
The fabulous staff from MAC Cosmetics joined the girls at the salon for makeup!
LOVE this perspective that Rich got of Lori having her makeup done! Amazing!
Anticipation…
Incredible details:
The bridesmaids bouquets…some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen…
And the completely perfect brides’ bouquet:
I coveted these all day:
Lori’s amazing gown!
At the church, I grabbed this shot of Lori getting ready! Here, Joy is situating the veil in Lori’s hair, and she could not have been more stunning!
Rich and I were thrilled when Lori and Eric opted for a first look! It gave them some private, low key moments before the ensuing ceremony and reception, and it gave Rich and I some priceless time alone with the bride and groom! Here, Eric holds back tears as his lovely bride joins him in the courtyard at First Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Adoration:
I love this shot so much…ah, these two were so great in front of the camera!
A couple of beautiful, quiet moments before bridal party photos:
I must say that this was the first wedding at which the groomsmen came bearing Samurai swords! It had been Eric’s gift to his guys at the Rehearsal Dinner the night before, and they made perfect props for a manly, manly photo.
The girls were gorgeous!
Ceremony details:
One of my favorite moments of a wedding day:
The amazing church. Need I say more?
Married!!!
With a post-ceremony sendoff, Eric and Lori hopped into the most amazing Hummer Limo of all time and Rich grabbed this completely unique, too-amazing-for-words photo inside:
Reception details! Rich and I were so excited that Eric and Lori chose to have their reception at The Mill, and have enjoyed working with Lisa Fontana since The Mill’s inception! Be sure to check out Rich’s work on their website!
The first dance:
Lori did one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen at a reception! Midway through, she snuck off and changed into her mom’s wedding dress from years ago and surprised her in front of reception guests. The reactions were perfect, Lori looked oh-so-chic, and guests just LOVED the fun surprise!
Party time!
The last dance:
Love this monogram at the reception.
