Alli and Glenn’s Wedding for Krista Photography

This wedding was a bit unusual in that Krista wasn’t actually able to attend due to a random case of chicken pox, so I ended up spending the day with Melissa Coe and Jessica Cardinalli instead. I’ve already written some about the day on Krista’s blog, which you can see here (and I do recommend checking that out- its got different pictures:) ).  I’m going to quote a little from that post on here as well.

Driving down to the Oceancliff Hotel, the weather looked to be anything but cooperative – rainy, misty, and downright ugly. However, by the time we arrived, the skies were clear! And soon the weather was sunny and beautiful, and the bright blue sky was a perfect backdrop for the bright, crisp colors Alli & Glenn had chosen.

While the bridesmaids had brightly colored dresses with white bouquets, Alli’s bridal bouquet was highlighted with vivid peonies.  I love shooting flowers – I grew up in the country, and my grandmother instilled a love of growing and arranging flowers early in me when I was very young. Peonies are one of the flowers that remind me most of her; they are the state flower of Indiana, and she always had a lot of them growing around the property. So, I took my time making sure that we had some photographs that captured the beauty of the florist’s work!

This corner of the room was busy from the moment we arrived!

Alli’s dress was beautiful- I love the way the light shines through the fabric; you can see just how light and sheer and delicate it is!

And it looked just as beautiful on…

The ceremony was outside on the lawn near the water. I just love how intense the sky is in this photo, and how it sets off the colors and shapes of everything else!

You could tell throughout the day what a close bond Alli and her mother shared…

Each of the bridesmaids had a unique, colorful dress…

This was the view from the head table inside the reception hall.

I’m glad I had a chance to be a part of this wedding. It was challenging, because I’ve gotten very used to working with Krista, and each photographer has a different process. I appreciated being able to watch two different photographers at work, and learn from them. That being said, I hope Krista never has to deal with a situation like this again! Fortunately, Alli and Glenn were wonderfully understanding and fun to work with – I wish you both the best!
