Had the pleasure of photographing Kristen & Justin Nolte’s wedding at the Lake Side inn, in the cynic mount Dora, Florida this past Saturday. What a cute couple. Since they decide to have their wedding at the Lake Side Inn, a historical location in the romantic mount Dora, they wanted their wedding to reminisce on the “old Florida” feel, and resulted to express this theme using wardrobe. The bridesmaids all wore these great 40’s looking hats, and the groomsmen used suspenders as their fashion statement. This was inspiring and I could envision and create periodic images for them to reflect the wedding look and feel they were going for. I used more traditional posing and lighting techniques, and used post production to pull it all together and define a period look for them. It was so much fun! Just love it when I get to draw on my creativity and create a unique product. Betty from Lake Side In said while watching the shoot unfold she cannot wait to see these pictures and use some for the Lake Side Inn advertising and marketing purposes (Lakeside in site is http://www.lakeside-inn.com/)
The ceremony was performed on the lakeside, and the nice lake breeze kept everyone cool on this hot June Florida day. The 5 months pregnant bride came floating down the aisle with a smile stretched from ear to ear. She is so cute, she was saying before the ceremony as she realized she was sucking her belly in: “what am I doing? I’m so used to sucking it in when wearing a nice dress, but I forget I am pregnant and can just let it all hang out! I love getting married pregnant!” did I mention already she is just so cute?
The ceremony was one of the most touching ones I’ve heard in my photography career, the sunset was sensational, as were the sunset pictures, and the reception oh so much fun. Particularly when the best man finished his speech by saying:”and now is the time for all the girls who have a key to Justin’s place to hand it back”…and every woman in the room got up and handed him a key…as did all the guys when the best man asked for the keys to Kristen’s place. “The party is over!” he said. Funny guy.
And besides great images, nothing is more satisfying to me than the bride giving me a great big hug at the end of the night, and practically everyone thanking me on my way out for doing an awesome job. Another day to be thankful for. How thankful I am that I do what I love for a living.
