Tommy and Heather’s long awaited wedding day started out as a rainy Halloween morning. But by early afternoon the sun came out and provided the backdrop for another beautiful Cedarwood wedding and reception.

Since this was my first “Halloween wedding,” I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was very impressed by the planning and design done by the team at Cedarwood. From the creatively carved pumpkins, table settings and floral arrangements (by Cedarwood’s Karen Wright) to the masquerade masks and china balls, this wedding was really fun to shoot…especially in High Definition!

Tommy & Heather, you guys really know how to have fun! Thanks for letting us be a part of your awesome day. Enjoy your video!

We also enjoyed working with Doug & Arline with Ace Photography, and you’ll see many of their incredible photographs incorporated into the Highlight Video (posted above).

Below are some still frames I’ve taken from the video.

Whenever I am asked to be a part of a couple’s rehearsal dinner, I always feel a special bond is created. I learn so much about them, their families and friends during that time, and it helps me know how to better document the rest of their weekend.

The ceremony at Scarritt-Bennett was beautiful, as was the reception at Cedarwood. At the reception, Adam & Ava’s first dance started off nice and sweet like one would expect, then abruptly broke into a myriad of crazy dance moves along with the appropriate medley of iconic dance songs. You’ll have to watch the highlight video to know what I’m talking about. I’ve actually seen a few couples do this kind of first dance this year. Fun stuff!

The dancing didn’t stop there, nor did the fog machine and light show. I loved the frog prince groom’s cake too (see photo below)!

It was also great working with Chris their photographer (Christopher Brady Photography).

Historic Cedarwood is such a beautiful place. It’s even more beautiful when a couple like Kris & DeeDee decide to get married there. I arrived early to attend the rehearsal. I like to do that in order to determine camera and mic placement, as well as video some candid moments. After the rehearsal, DeeDee put on her wedding dress and we went up on the hill with her photographer Krista (kristaleephotography) to take some photographs + video.

Shortly thereafter, DeeDee began reading a letter that Kris had written for that very moment. They were about to see each other for the first time that day. As you’ll see in the video, Kris then walked up from behind DeeDee while she looked in the opposite direction. The anticipation on both of their faces were priceless. It was an honor to be able to capture this moment for them. After they greeted, Kris then pulled out his Bible and they read from it and prayed together.
