Stacey and Justin Get Hitched!
Scott and I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Stacey Graham and Justin Radford last night. What a blast! You can see some of the images below - just click on them to get a larger view!
This proved to be one of the most fun weddings we have done. Perhaps that was because Scott is related to many of the guests... but probably not!
Pastor Dan Thurber presided at the Oak Orchard Assembly of God. He's the first pastor I've seen with his own mixing board for lights and sound and did a wonderful job all around!
After the ceremony and multiple formal images with everyone's grandparents - I'm still not sure how one couple can have so many (!) - the wedding party drove off to the Holley waterfall, where we did Stacey and Justin's engagement session. It was a little warmer than February and the rain stayed away! There are many beautiful images from the 45 minutes that we spent there!
Then off to Deerfield Country Club for the reception. I am intimately familiar with this room since my wedding reception was there almost 26 years ago! I looked at the room and I could see the image of me sitting at the head table with my little brother Brian in my lap. Really brought back many great memories!
Justin's Dad, Lee, was the Best Man and gave as good a toast as I have ever heard! We are kindred spirits with screws holding our necks together - we both have had neck fusion surgeries.
There were a pair of DJ's from Stage Productions - funny enough their names are Mike and Mike! They both did a wonderful job and kept everyone jumping on the dance floor all night! Once again it was difficult during the Father/Daughter dance - it always brings a tear to my eye remembering mine with Wendy and the few years before I have to let Shannon go, too. Nice, fun, but sad at the same time...
This was our first wedding of the year and what a great start! I was so excited to go through the images this morning. It always brings back all the feelings of the party!
So, congratulations Stacey and Justin! Scott and I wish you all the best, though we know that you don't need our wishes - you have a great family around you for those! have a great time in Aruba!
As for the rest of you - let's hear from you! Leave some comments, for us or each other!
