Hey everybody!
I've never shot a wedding in reverse before, but it was SO fun! Amy and Doug got married and kissed at the stroke of midnight as 2013 turned into 2014, but that's not where the fun started. Actually, the party had been going on for hours, because Amy and Doug had their reception first!
Amy and Doug trusted the team at Bates Events with the logistics of the non-traditional timeline and they of course made it fun and everything ran so smoothly. One of my favorite memories from the day was seeing Amanda (from Bates Events) signaling the time for the preacher from the back of the ceremony room so they could for sure get that midnight kiss. Well played, team!

Isn't Amy just darling?

We had our special first meeting on the twirling whirling staircase at Springdale Country Club. Love this!

Then it was party time! See? Backward... but crazy fun!



Then it was time to start the ceremony. Is this not the most precious moment? SO.MUCH.LOVE.

5...4...3...2...1... KISS!


Oh, and here are some more portraits from the wedding day. Yay!

I absolutely LOVE capturing the way girls look at boys! :) Here's a new super fave!




Talk to you soon,
Dale
