October 1, 2014 Alaina + Tommy | Celebrations at the Bay Wedding
Friday’s wedding was absolute perfection. Alaina looked so beautiful, I fought back tears behind my camera. She literally took Tommy’s breath away, and when I say literally, I mean we all thought he might pass out– a few times! These two are so sweet, so in love, and so much fun. I’m so lucky that not only can I call them clients, but also forever friends. I’m keeping you guys and I’m glad you are keeping me right back :)
I started my day off with Alaina and the ladies at her house where she got ready!
Her dress and all of her details were blinged out and GORGEOUS.
Sparkle plus sparkle plus more sparkle equals amazing!
Love these Maryland themed invites!
The little crab is my fave <3
So beautiful!
She got dressed at Celebrations, so beautiful!
LOVE their first look! Tommy seriously looked like he might pass out. He was so nervous!
How amazingly beautiful is Alaina!?! Love these!!
Such a gorgeous group of girls!
The guys were alright too :)
Nailed it.
This was my first time shooting a ceremony on this side of the venue, and I love the water view!
Here are the girls laughing at Tommy, who again looked like he might pass out!
The beautiful bride and her daddy!
Married!!!
The skies were absolutely amazing and I’m so glad we got to take advantage of that for their portraits!
Obsessed.
Love these two!
The flowers were gorgeous and their rings too! I love the black titanium ring that Tommy chose – my first time photographing a black ring!
The Maryland themed purple reception setup was absolutely gorgeous! The crab placecards are my fave!
The beautiful florals transformed the room into such an elegant space!
The table numbers included photos of Tommy and Alaina at each number’s age, except Table 10, for 2010, the year they met!
I just loved their first dance!
Alaina shared her father-daughter dance with both her dad and step-dad, and Tommy and his mom were just too cute together!
Oh dear, the speeches. DJ’s was interesting. lol Brooke’s speech was very sweet!
The party was an absolute blast! I love that they had glowsticks!
AND I got a ton of time with these two for night shots which makes me so happy!!! Love all of these!
And lastly- me with the lovely couple!
Alaina and Tommy, you guys are the best and I’m so happy I was able to be a part of your special day! Congratulations!! I hope you’re having an amazing time in Mexico!
xoxo,
Brea
