Charlene & Brian - "Together 5/28/11" {Wedding}


My first real photography project was a wedding!  I like jumping in with both feet :-)

Charlene and Brian were married Memorial Day weekend at the Mannerchor in Utica, New York.  I was more than happy to make the long journey from Indianapolis to capture their day because Charlene is my cousin, friend, and very dear to me.


Before the ceremony, I spent the afternoon with Charlene at her home while she and her bridal party got ready.



On the way to the Mannerchor, we stopped off at Historic Union Station in downtown Utica.  We were running VERY late, but there was time for a couple quick shots!


The bride carried her God-Daughter down the aisle, where she was met by her groom and the pastor (her Aunt).


After the ceremony, I got to have some one-on-one time with the couple.  The Mannechor had some beautiful scenery!


 The couple had included so many special details throughout their day, it was hard to stop taking pictures!!


The reception was filled with family, dancing, love and fun and went well into the night.

 
 
I am so grateful to Charlene and Brian for letting me part of their special day!  I had an amazing time with them and LOVED taking their pictures.  Love you guys!!
