These past several months Brooke has been interning over at Great Expectations so I was excited to see what details she included in her day after months of working other great events.
You may remember these two from my post last fall following their engagement session at High Bridge (see the photo below of their guestbook of images -- it was so fun to see that in use and enjoyed by guests before the wedding and at the reception). Ever since learning that Brandon occasionally fills in for our regular UPS guy, I've thought it would be fun to unexpectedly see him sometime making a delivery here. Months past and I never saw him (probably not doing enough to help the economy, what can I say?), but then it turns out he did bring something the week of the wedding -- my long-awaited 85mm 1.2 lens. Unfortunately, I was out at the post office (I know, the only place worse would have been to say I was at FedEx). How appropriate was it though that his groom's cake was a brown UPS truck?
Brooke positively glowed in her wedding gown. I know if there was another occasion for her to don it, she'd wear it in a heartbeat. Her long veil was a dramatic accessory (as you saw in one of the photos above) that I just don't get to utilize at many weddings. You can imagine my excitement when she walked in the church doors from the hair salon with it draped over her arm.
All of Brooke's nieces and nephews (except the baby) had a part in the wedding and you could tell they were excited to see their Aunt Brooke get married. It's fun when it's a family affair! Her brother-in-law brought the most scrumptious shrimp from his restaurant in Paducah and it was all I could do to avoid that side of the reception hall! At the end of the evening, Brooke's parents surprised the newlyweds with a special departure in an antique white Bentley. Check out the look of surprise on Brandon's face below:

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! These really bring back the excitement of the day and all the planning that went into it. You have captured the essence of all we hoped this day would be for Brooke and Brandon! We've been thrilled with your artistry from the beginning and can hardly wait to see the rest! Thanks so much!
