September is always a busy month and this September is no exception! As busy as it has been, it has also been equally as fabulous with so many wonderful couples and gorgeous days! Jenny and Pat’s day fit right into this fantastic September! These two focused their day around what matters most to them, and that is their families! From our first meeting, they couldn’t stop talking about their siblings and their nieces and nephews. They knew they wanted to incorporate them into every aspect of the day and they also knew that kids are kids and they would go with the flow of how that went! When the day arrived, it went beautifully:)! Such a fantastic group of friends and family surrounding these two people who are so kind and caring…and just so happy – my kind of people:)
Pat sent Jenny over a card and gift to open…
When I arrived in Pat’s room, the lighting was gorgeous and the wall coordinated with his tie and suit…how perfect:)
Pat’s brother was his best man (and helper here)…
Back in the girls room, we put on all of the finishing touches, including Jenny’s dress…
These are Jenny’s three sisters. Jenny and Pat both have big families!
Jenny’s mom made her veil and it looked great!
Jenny’s father had been so helpful during their getting ready time – delivering food and getting anything they needed. This father/daughter first-look wasn’t even planned but he had perfect timing and it worked out fabulously!
Before the guys and I headed off to the venue, we did some photos of the girls.
Just as we were headed in, the little girls were ready too! These girls are fabulous! So sweet, outgoing, talkative and great listeners too! They were SO excited to be a part of the wedding!
Once we arrived at Independence Harbor, we grabbed a few photos of the guys!
Inside Independence Harbor, the room was set and ready for guests..
One of Jenny and Pat’s requests was to get family photos of Pat’s siblings and their children – and we even managed to get a grandparent photo too:)!
The guests began to arrive while Matty B played for them…
Get ready for cuteness overload…
These gigglers just make me smile every time I look at these images!
These two were so cute…during the ceremony they were quietly picking up petals and putting them in the bucket, but then throwing them out again and starting over:)! They never made a peep either!
It has already been a long day for some of these little ones, so we snapped a few quick photos of the whole group and let them play for a bit:)!
The grounds at Independence Harbor are gorgeous…
There are just so many different spots and looks you can get on the grounds of Independence Harbor:)!
The reception kicked off with a bang:)
The BEST speeches by his brother and her sister – a full range of emotions and reactions!
Once we finished the parent dances, it was a dance party the rest of the evening!
We snuck outside for just a couple of night photos…
and we came back in to more dancing:)
Jenny and Pat – Thank you so much for having me be a part of your day! It was a pleasure to work with ALL of you:)!
