We started our day Sunday morning at Planet Hair as Chelsea and her four bridesmaids got their hair done. Chelsea's hair looked very nice as it was half up and half down with curls. Before leaving she had her make-up done. Then it was time to head to the church where lunch was catered by Jimmy John's providing roast beef, turkey and ham sandwiches with chips as the side.
The colors they chose were fall colors containing cinnamon, oranges and greens. The bridesmaids dresses were floor length strapless with a broach that swooped the dress to the side and cinnamon in color. Chelsea's dress was very special as it was given to her by her aunt and altered by Jonathan's aunt. It was a Maggie Soterro that was sleeveless with intricate embroidery that lined the bodice and laced up the back. Chelsea also carried a six pence in her shoe for good luck, wedding rings from both her and Jonathan's grandparents as well as borrowed pearl bracelet.
Jeff started the formal pictures with Jonathan while I was downstairs documenting the ladies getting ready. Once it was time for Chelsea to come upstairs and do her formal pictures she told me she really wanted to see Jonathan but still wanted to wait till the ceremony but could she do a picture where they were both holding hands but standing on opposite sides of a door? "Of course!", I said. This made for some really cool pics and it will be a great memory for the two of them in years to come.
As guests started to arrive, the guest book was a unique experience with a Polaroid picture of each and every guest attending and then signing underneath their picture. This was really unique and fun. During the ceremony Chelsea's brother escorted her down the aisle to Jonathan. Jonathan was all smiles when he saw his bride and how beautiful she looked. Instead of a unity candle they shared in pouring of sand together into a vase. After the ceremony, guests were ushered out by the pastors and they lined up outside with bubbles. When everyone came outside lots of hoops and hollers were yelled along with being showered with bubbles as they made their way to the River City Trolley. Jeff hopped on with them as they went around the block and came back for more pictures at the church.
After finishing all the pictures we followed the trolley over to East High School where Chelsea and Jonathan first met. They started dating eight years ago. We got some pictures in front of the sign of the school and on the front lawn in front of the tower. Then it was time to go to the reception which was held at the Petroleum Club on the top floor of The Bank of America building. After being announced into their party Chelsea and Jonathan cut their cake and received toasts from the maid of honor and the best man (Jonathan's brother) and then Jonathan's dad. They both shared happy tears as they gave their speech leaving not a dry eye in house. As some background music played we captured memories as Jonathan and Chelsea went to each table greeting their guests and thanking them for coming. The first dance as husband and wife was Jack Johnson's "Better Together". Then on to the mother/son dance and the step-dad/daughter dance, which was a song that Brian had written and sang. The reception was a special occasion for the newlyweds as they caught up with friends and family.
We want to thank you all for allowing us to be part of your big day. Please stay in touch.
Tyff and Jeff
