Shelby + Chris: Wedding!

What can I say about Shelby & Chris, except that they exude pure awesomeness! No, seriously they do! I was fascinated with every single detail of this wedding, from the undeniably gorgeous flowers to the sparkly brooch on her wedding dress, right down to every single emotion expressed - happy tears and loud laughs. It was all perfection. Abi shot this wedding with me and I'm so glad she was able to be there with me. And oh my goodness did we come out with a tons of images, so here's just a few of my favorites and go check out her blog for more!!

We started out at a family friend's house for brunch.

Aren't they adorable? I could not resist...

So it's not 100% sharp. I love it anyway because I can just hear Shelby's laugh when I see it.

As the girls began to get ready, Shelby wrote out a letter to her parents to include in her thank you card. It had to be on lined paper because there was no way that little card could fit all her words of love and gratitude.

Bobbi Brown rocks! And so did her make-up artist, who is a friend that did amazing work!

Ah, rings & flowers... my favorite!

Shelby's gifts to Chris. Love it!

A bit sexier than I usually post, but I love the feel of this image.

Time to see Chris.
They opted to see each other before the ceremony which just makes me giddy.

What a beautiful couple (and backdrop!)

I could not get enough of the arch above the cake. It truly was breathtaking.

Abi Ruth at work. Isn't the lighting splendid!?!

Cakes were done by Ms Laura's Cakes

Flowers by The French Tulip

The ceremony & reception were located at the Shawnee Expo Center.

And just in case you missed it, this set up was the backdrop to Shelby & Chris' ceremony. And might I add that Shelby's mom & friends did all the decor. It was truly a Winter Wonderland.

Ready to loosen up with good friends before reception time.

Some sweet dancing moments.

A definite favorite!

Kick off your dancing shoes
