Mike & Jen, Beautiful Brentwood Wedding
As I mentioned in my previous post, Matt Dunmore and I spent Sunday with Mike & Jen for their wedding at Brentwood United Methodist Church.
I chose this shot to open up this post about Mike & Jen's wedding because it highlights a key phrase for the whole day... "Great Joy." The love Mike & Jen have for each other and the way they live their lives demonstrates the Great Joy they have in their hearts.
When photographing the guys before the ceremony, I noticed Mike's tattoo on his ring finger. I am a sucker for a guy with a tattoo...
A shot of the radiant bride, from a different perspective.
One last attempt to get Alexis, the flower girl, to walk down the aisle. You can see we were unsuccessful.
This was right after the ceremony. Mike & Jen were SO joyful.
Once we wrapped up our group photos after the wedding, we ventured over to the Factory at Franklin for the reception. It was decked out in black, white and apple green and everything looked marvelous.
I am in love with this shot.
One of the best surprises of the night was when Mike's Dad brought Mr. Ben - the honorary ring bearer - to the reception. (I think I want to set Ben up with my Katy...she's a beautiful blonde too...don't you agree they would make the best couple?)
Other vendors that made this day wonderful:
Flowers: Elaine McCord Floral Designs
Tuxedos: Street Tuxedo
Bridesmaids Dresses: Modern Bridal Shop
DJ: Nashville Party Authority
Caterer: Stoveworks Restaurant
Cake: Ivey Baird (friend of the bride...these cakes were AMAZING)
Chocolate Fountain: Mere Bulles
(PS. A word to my future brides about chocolate fountains. If you want one at your wedding, hire a professional to do it - don't try to purchase or rent one and do it yourself. They are really tricky, and I have seen too many fountains that stop working or burn and clog up and they end up being a headache. Jen & Mike's worked wonderfully and that's because it was handled by someone who knows what they are doing!)
Here's a slideshow of images from throughout the day (both mine and Matt's). If you want to view it full screen, click HERE.
Mike & Jen - it was a Great Joy to work with you. May God richly bless your marriage.
