Allison + Brock: Married!

Allison and Brock were the very first couple to book me for 2011, and it seems like it was years ago! I have been looking forward to their wedding ever since...they are two wonderful people...AND they were having their reception at the Palladium, a new venue I hadn't had the the pleasure of shooting in yet. Their day was executed to perfection, down to every small detail. Thanks to my 2nd, Michelle Lunn, for helping me out once again, and to a past bride, Ashley, for lugging all my stuff around :)

On to the photos! Allison got ready at the Hyatt at the Arch...more brides are getting ready here...I always love the beds here for dress shots!

I loved the doors and the weathered stone at their church...






We only had a little time after the ceremony to knock out the remainder of the photos...we worked quickly!

Then it was off to the reception! Try a "Zen"tini...

Beautiful centerpieces...

The appetizer on the right was YUMMY. I mean, I had to try it, right?

A friend of the family put together this amazing candy bar...each family member had a favorite candy.

...and the cake pops...Allison's budget-blowing item :)

Her dad thanking her mom...so sweet...
