Yesterday was the start of my much anticipated 2009 wedding season, and I was thrilled that Ashley & Honorio were my first couple of the year. Michele and I had a lot of fun with them during their Engagement Session, and I knew the wedding wouldn’t be any different.
It was raining when Michele, Missy and I arrived at the Vinehurst Inn to get pictures of Ashley and her Bridesmaids getting ready, but Ashley had come to terms with the weather and was in good spirits. Doesn’t she look gorgeous?
I loved the detail on the back of her dress.
The ceremony was held at St. Gabriels Church in Hammondsport, NY. The ceremony was complete with tears, laughter, and love. It was perfect.
A quick ride over to Keuka Lake in the stretch Escalade.
We had to do formals during a short break in the rain, and we finished just in time. Ashley and Honorio had a huge wedding party, but they were so cooperative and great fun to work with!
The Best Man and Maid of Honor.
The beautiful cake.
Their first dance.
Do you recognize these two? It was great seeing Jillian and Nate again! Their 1st anniversary is almost here.
We snuck off for a few minutes to get some pictures of the view. The reception was held at Heron Hill Winery, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the location. The view is to die for, and there are lots of covered spots that allow you to take pictures of the view without getting wet if it happens to be raining.
Back at the reception. I couldn’t resist posting this one. I love Ashley’s expression as Honorio retrieves the garter.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t get in trouble for posting this one, but OH. MY. GOD. This guy’s Michael Jackson impersonation during “Billy Jean” had me dying! I had the pleasure of working with DJ Hatch again, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I want to take him with me to every wedding. If you’re planning a wedding and you want the best of the best where DJ’s are concerned, you need him.
I love this shot of Ashley and Honorio gettin’ their dance on.
Can you believe I almost left without taking any pictures of the rings??!
Ashley and Honorio, thank you so much for trusting me with your wedding day, for being such a great couple, for allowing me to bring a “posse”, and for the Dunkin’ Donuts gift card! I hope you have tons of fun on your honeymoon! Give me a call when you get back.
P. S. I also want to wish all the Dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day! Especially Hot Husband, who completely understands when I spend a few hours at the computer on Father’s Day because I want my Bride and Groom to see some of their wedding images before they head off on their honeymoon. I love you, honey!
