Betsy + Mike 12.08.06

Last Friday Erin and I went to Lennox to photograph the wedding of Betsy and Mike. Whoever said you can't have weddings in SD in Dec was wrong (I still have one more wedding this year too). It was a beautiful day and wedding. They were married at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. They did a lot of little things that made it their own one of them was the candle lighting. At the end of the ceremony they each took the pillar candles that the parents had lite, then they had early used for their unity candle and relite them from the unity candle. Then they walked down the aisle lighting the small candles (passed out earlier) of each end person, so the whole room was only lit only by candle light. It was very nice. I took this first image with just available light on the tripod, but in the second image someone else was using their p&S and their flash lit up the bride and groom a bit more.

The reception was held at CJ Callaways and I stayed long enough to eat the yummy food, get images of the guests and photograph all the speeches. Betsy wins as the most giving bride I've seen. She presented Mike with a gift of tickets- plane tickets to leave 2 days after the wedding to go to a football game in Florida. He was awe struck and should be. Talk about cool.

It was a great day, thank you for choosing us to be part of it!
