For months and months Lacey, Velmina (her mom/my mom-in-law), and I have been planning and planning and planning some more for this beautiful beach wedding….and all the effort finally paid off. It was a huge success. The day might have been hot, but the Bride was hotter! (I know…cheesy) 🙂
Matt is the oldest big brother, so instead of shooting the wedding with me, his part was a bit more sentimental. He played his guitar in combo with Judd (a friend of the family) and his drum. Honestly, I was impressed beyond words. They both did a fantastic job…a professional team effort. I’m so proud of my honey. 🙂
And I even got a sentimental role as well. I got to help with the hair and makeup. Now..to some, this doesn’t seem like such a big deal. To me, it meant the world. These two women won’t even let me help with cooking or dishes…so to help with hair and make-up…seriously…I’m tearing up right now. Let’s just say I feel special. :))))
There was some down time for Lacey while I ventured off to shoot her husband-to-be (Kelly)…and when I got back, I found her watching ghost busters (at least that’s what I think was on).
This was a special surprise to Lacey on the wedding day. Her boss had bought her a very nice pearl necklace and earrings to match and gave them to Velmina to surprise her right before the ceremony. So pretty.
Shirt…check. Rolled up pants…check. Flip flops…check. Sunglasses…check. Oh, how easy it must be for a guy. That’s all it takes for guys to get ready. Not fair, I say.
We had played around with the idea of doing pictures before the ceremony, but at the last minute I actually went against my usual preference and decided it would be better to keep the separate. It was soooooo hot and muggy, I didn’t want to get them all sweaty and nasty (too much anyway) before they saw each other. But I still wanted to get them in the same shot before hand…thus the different floors.
I don’t remember how we got Kelly to do this but he started doing pushups on the walk way….
So then I say…”What about one handed….” hahahaha
Wild man… 🙂
Hunky husband-to-be. Rrrraaarrrr
And Lacey was oh-so-gorgeous. Truly amazing to have known her from a small child to watching her get married. She like my own sister…and friend. A very special day for me to witness.
“I caught a big one!!!” hehehehe
I do not recall what this was about, but thought it was so funny when I was going through the pictures later. Had to share.

What do you think…happy Groom, or what?! 🙂
While Matt was busy playing the tunes…Lacey’s other brothers, Aaron & Mark, walked her down the isle. So sweet.
Did I mention I love beach weddings?
Something very inappropriate was said…and thus the super awesome laughing. I LOVE IT!
This was one perfect wedding day. Congrats to Lacey & Kelly! Best wishes!
