lynda & mike: wedding

“shine”

Lynda & Mike’s 15 hour wedding extravaganza was a day they will never forget. Complete with 3 ceremonies and over 450 guests, they celebrated their marriage big time!!!! From behind the lens, I witnessed countless memorable moments, but the moment I will always remember is during the reception dinner, Mike was making a toast to his beautiful bride and shouted “I only have two words to say – I SCORED!!!!” Hahha…yes you did Mike! =)

*Lynda & Mike – I can’t thank you enough for having me a part of such a special day for you. You are so sweet and thoughtful – even making sure I was ok on your busy wedding day! I guess I scored! =) You are a beautiful couple inside & out and I’m sure you are looking even better with your golden tans from St. Lucia =).

We start out with the traditional tea ceremony:

I know jumping shots have become very common, but I just LOVE them. Everyone always enjoys them and gets really into it. Check out how high the flower girl got and how her dress looks like a bell! LOVE it!
