Continued from Valerie and John’s Wedding Part I!
Germantown Presbyterian had one of the more intense “church ladies” we’d ever worked with. She was constantly breathing down our neck about the timeline and had to know where we were and where we were planning on being every minute we were shooting. I felt like her eyes were locked on me during the whole ceremony to make sure I didn’t go one step farther than our invisible boundary allowed. It wasn’t until I told her that we were planning on taking Valerie and John to the church gymnasium that she lost her mind- “You’re taking them where? Are you kidding me?!”
Lucky for us, Valerie and John trusted us completely and I ended up getting my favorite shot of the day (luckily Mom and church lady weren’t around to see them tossing their flowers!) :
Ceremony time!
Valerie’s daddy undoubtedly had the best view of the day from heaven.
Off to Memphis Botanical Garden for the reception!
I love combined parent dances. :)
I loved seeing how much Valerie’s step dad adored her and her sisters.
And then this happened…
Can you tell they’re father and son?!
Valerie and John, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day!!
More weddings from my hometown! :

Jamie says
how did you make the strings of lights do that starburst thingy??????
Nathan says
Hi Jamie! To get that effect, we set the aperture to f/18 and exposure to 15 seconds. :)
