A Taste of Ghent

Our group was small and filled with everything from food stylists, to lawyers, to bloggers. It was such a great plethora of people passionate about food and photography. These are my people! You know the ones?! The people who get you when you start talking in depth about how beautiful pastries look when lighted correctly and who get excited about shooting food tablescapes. Those people. My people.

Nicole & Caleb – 5.28.16

This wedding had a few firsts for me as a wedding photographer, first tattoo ring (very freaking cool), first dog ring bearer (yeeeesss!!!), and first bride ‘almost passing out at the alter.’ No lie. And hey, I don’t blame her. It was probably the 2nd hottest day of the summer, add in some nerves, and a heavy wedding dress and boom, pass out time. Thankfully, that didn’t happen! After some water and fans everything continued to move smoothly! One of the funnier moments was in the receiving line when their grandma started heckling them, “Well I never! In all my years, I’ve never had a bride almost pass out at the alter!” Everyone laughed as hugs and kisses were shared.

Molly & Paul -5.27.16

Molly and Paul were perfect too! They champed through the heat and absorbed some sunshine for their photos. These two both have a love of the outdoors, hence the beautiful estates of Allenberry Resort Inn and outdoor ceremony, small ring box made to look like a tree stump (with their initials carved into it), and a beautiful flower covered arbor. Paul also has a love of fishing (note Yellow Breeches Creek in the background). He makes a lot of his own flies too. They even incorporated a fly into his boutonniere! How cool is that?!
