Hey everybody!
For some reason, I just can't narrow down images from Chelsea and Tyler's Fayetteville wedding. Oh wait, I know the reason... they're gorgeous, their details were fabulous, and the day was filled with such sweet moments. Okay, so that was three reasons... does that mean I can show three times as many images? :)
How to-die-for is her custom Vera Wang gown (yowza!)??! And Chelsea holding her bridal bouquet is just fabulous, right?!

So, I'm not gonna lie... I LOOOOOVE fun wedding parties! I have known most of these bridesmaids for years from other weddings, and the guys are a hoot! And they're all pretty easy on the eyes!

Yeah... the bride and her bridesmaids are pretty Kardashian-esque. Wouldn't you agree? Sexy and sassy bridesmaids pics are the best! :)

Okay. Now. How SWEET is this moment?! The ring bearer and flower girl are holding hands! My heart just melted.

Mere was upstairs getting all artsy during the ceremony. I love this shot of the bride's dad about to give her away.

I was so happy the we went to the bride's house a weeks before the wedding so we could plan the lighting. We were able to balance out the outdoor backlight with a couple spotlights that really make them stand out. It TOTALLY makes this shot! Yay for first kisses as husband and wife!!

As we stepped outside after the ceremony, I captured this great candid shot (yeah, I know it looks like a portrait!!!) with the vintage restored Mercedes in the background. Perfection.

Then it was time to celebrate with the girls! They all signed a bottle of Dom Perignon and then had a celebratory glass. Isn't that such a neat idea for the bride to have as a keepsake from her wedding? Uh, YEAH!

I love tight dance shots because they show the emotion the couple is feeling. Tyler and Chelsea are great dancers, by the way.

So, I just had to include this one. Her bridesmaids were SO fun. This is what I FELT like doing when I saw the yummy James at the Mill food, but these girls actually DID it. :)

Then the father daughter dance took place as the sun finished setting. I love this image. It says so much about the close relationship Chelsea has with her dad. I can't look at this without a ginormous smile.

Chelsea and Tyler's cake was super cool - I loved all the gold details on the cake - super fancy (and super tasty)
![bride and groom cutting their ivory and gold detailed wedding cake from Rick's Bakery]()
I put this one in because I adore Chelsea's face as Tyler feeds his bride wedding cake.

I couldn't decide which bouquet-catching shot I liked more, so I put them together to tell the whole story. How fun!

How many cool things are there about this image: Chelsea's reaction, the anticipation in the background, oh and the super cool lighting (thank you very much).
![the groom flings his brides garter and the ring bearer caught it]()
Then it was time to boogie down to the live band. Gettin' funky.

The wedding party had such a fun time on the dancefloor!

Finally, it was time to leave (sad face!). The bride and groom ran through sparklers and I swear I didn't pose them at the end... they're just THAT good! All I do is push a little button. Well, that and frame the subjects, set my camera, add external lighting, all while walking backward. But other than that... just pushing a button! :)

We're ending Chelsea and Tyler's amazing wedding week tomorrow with some portraits that are heart thumpingly pretty.
Talk to you soon,
