Marcus & Taylor: Happily Ever After

What a gorgeous day in October it turned out to be for these two to say "I do". The weather was perfect and the details quite easily Pinterest worthy. The bride, of course, was breathtaking! And the groom a picture of perfection in his authentic threads made exclusively for him and his groomsmen and shipped from Ethiopia. Marcus and Taylor are two of the most carefree, fabulous, fun-loving people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And now it gives me much pleasure to share a preview of their big day with you!

The bridal suite was full of fabulousness, from platform high heel shoes, to tuxedo wine bottle covers :-)





The blushing bride and her beautiful mom after getting the gown on.


 Dad's first look...

 And brother's...

The groom hard at work prepping the aisle for his bride...

Then reflecting...

And finally getting some shots in with the guys. That's right, those ARE Batman socks, complete with capes!

The girls got some last minute bonding in as well...



And then he saw her in that dress for the first time.

They met under the pergola where they said their vows...

 exchanged rings...

shared their first married kiss...


and hug!

And although their friends didn't want to let go...
the celebration began.


And they watched as the bride and groom walked off into the sunset.





But the party was just getting started!


They shared first dances



And then there was cake.

And the toasts that left the in tears from laughter...

and nostalgic memories.

And although the cake had no topper, this adventurous duo showed off their love for baseball/softball with porcelain figurines surrounded by old photos of the bride and groom growing up.

They watched the sun as it settled on their wedding...

 then danced the night away.



For Marcus and Taylor, happily ever after has begun.




Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Riddick!
