When I got married a long, long time ago, my wife and I didn't know what kind of things should be included in the wedding to make it a more memorable day. What did we know? We were 20 and 22. Now that I'm a wedding photographer, and my wife assists me, we've been to literally hundreds of weddings. I've seen what works and what doesn't work.
Sarah and Kent knew what works. They had tons of details figures out, from the little Catholic chapel where they got married to using a 1942 Ford pickup as a getaway vehicle. As a bonus, they had access to his grandmothers house, which was full of antiques and little details that made the day absolute eye candy for me. Since they live on a boat, they decided to arrive at the reception by boat, which was at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club.
The thing about it though, was that none of it was expensive. They just put a lot of thought into the day. I've shot weddings that had budgets of over $100,000. This one rivaled those in every way, and they'll be able to afford to live afterward.
I got more wonderful photos than I know what to do with from this day, but I'm not going to post all of them. Thanks especially to Renee from RIM photography who was my second shooter. Some of these images are hers. Enjoy, and hopefully this gives you ideas for your own wedding.
