Starr + Matt 09.15.06

We arrived to find Starr and the girls in the house at Tuthill Park starting their preparation. I got started photographing the details right away. After Starr got ready Matt and her got to see each other for the first time. Since it was raining off and on we did our best to get some of the formals done as quickly as possible. The rain didn't want to stop so we snuck away to the butterfly house hoping to at least find a location that offered an outdoor look with a cover from the rain. Well that didn't go so well since even though we would only be there for a short time they wanted $5 for every person including me. Real nice of them... o well Matt and Starr and I went in and got some nice images while the bridal party waited in the lobby.

As much as everyone willed the clouds to clear and the rain to go away it just didn't happen so after finishing getting ready, completing some of the formals and packing up we headed to plan B.

CJ Callaways did a nice job of being flexible and allowing the ceremony to be held in the reception hall. After the ceremony we headed out in the limo for a little ride and ended up downtown. Starr had so much faith in me and let me do random stuff with the bridal party. My favorite however was just capturing them hanging out. You'll notice I've been posting less posed work lately... You all know I can pose, so now I'm showing you I can get the moments too.

We came back to CJ's to a great group of family and friends waiting to help them celebrate. Of all the things to photograph at the reception the first dances are by far my favorite and details second. Both were wonderful. As we headed out everyone was on the dance floor having a great time.
