Brace yourselves for gushing. There could be an onslaught.

Morgan and Paul…. I love these people. I love their families. I love their bridal party. I’ve got nothing but love love love. They are such wonderful people and photographing their wedding was pure joy for me!!
M&P got married on a gorgeous August day at St. John’s Episcopal. It had been years since I had gotten to photograph there and its just one of my favorites. Its so classically beautiful, so I had to make sure I got lots of dramatic lovely shots indoors. We later scooted over to the German American Society for their reception.
It was just a wonderful day. Have I said that yet? Here’s some photos to prove my point. 😉

Both shots by April. We were loving the stain glass that day!

Love Morgan’s mama, Kimberly! They have a really sweet relationship. You’ll see a few pictures in this blog of those mama emotions. (I’m a sucker for a crying picture!)

How cute is Paul? He was a little bit nervous and I love the big tears in Morgan’s eyes right before he turned around. Chills.

Love him, right?!?! Can you even believe that expression?! Take note grooms! I actually couldn’t see his reaction (the top one is April’s shot) because I was photographing Morgan’s reactions. So when I saw this photo I about fell over! Love it. And I also love that big tear running down Morgan’s face.

Favorite.

Morgan’s makeup was done by Tulsa Bridal Beauty. It was really lovely and suited her perfectly!

I told you, we were kinda obsessing over the stained glass.

Moments before Morgan walked down the aisle.

I just had to post this picture because its so Paul and it just cracks me up! Pretty sure he was batting down the bubbles. He’s crazy.

Such a fun group!!

Best first dance ever!! Seriously. It was elegant and lovely….

…and then they ended it with a lift a la Dirty Dancing. The whole crowd went completely nuts. It was fantastic and flawless!

They were pretty proud of themselves for pulling it off. And rightfully so!

Oh this image just gets me. A mama watching her husband and little girl dancing. This sort of things has always made me teary, but even more-so now that I have a daughter myself.

So many times at wedding receptions its easy for couples to get separated when they start mingling. But these two stuck pretty close to one another the whole time. Very sweet.

Oh what was that you were wondering? Is the light yummy at German American Society? The answer is yes. Yes it is.

Hugo, with Lion’s Road DJ, really got the party going! It was also a really fun crowd that was ready to dance. That helps. (BTW, Hugo is also responsible for the dance lessons and choreography that turned into that awesome first dance!)

Morgan and Paul I so appreciate you guys and I can’t tell you enough how great your wedding day was. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!
