I first met Sharon & David last October when Sharon was a bridesmaid & David was a groomsmen in Kiley & Daniel’s wedding. Kiley & Daniel’s friend group knows how to have FUN and I was so excited when a week after the wedding Sharon reached out to me letting me know that she was recently engaged and asked if I would photograph her wedding!! Fast forward almost a year later after a fun engagement session downtown at the DIA & drinks at Townhouse, these two were married the last weekend of September in a beautiful ceremony at the Inn at St. John’s!
Sharon wore a beautiful lace strapless Stella York dress from The White Dress that her Maid of Honor, Carla, zipped her into before her sister, Shelly, placed her veil into the back of her hair before it was time for bridal portraits! One of my favorite parts of photographing an Inn at St. John’s wedding is taking bridal photos on the balcony overlooking the chapel. Before guests were seated, we took a few photographs of Sharon & her stunning dress on the balcony, including an adorable one of her flower girls fluffing her train out for her for the photos, and those are always some of my favorite photos from the day. However, my absolute favorite photo is the first one below of the two of them in front of the beautiful arched windows at St. John’s Chapel where David is kissing Sharon’s shoulder! Total swoon worthy moment on their wedding day!!
Sharon’s dad & sister escorted Sharon down the long aisle of the chapel as David waited for her at the alter. After a beautiful ceremony and a fun sermon by their priest where he gave them a gift of an empty sugar dish box and explained the meaning behind it, they exchanged rings and were pronounced husband & wife. It had started to rain outside but if you know me, you know I love a good umbrella photo and I’m so glad Sharon & David were game to brave the weather & take some photos outside!! It’s always so worth it, even if we get a little wet! After portraits were finished, the party got started at Meeting House Grand Ballroom down the road. After they were announced in, Carla gave a sweet speech about her best friend before David’s Best Man, Tim, brought the house down with a speech that was equal parts hilarious and sentimental. People were hysterically laughing one minute and wiping their eyes the next. You know a speech is good when most of the groomsmen are crying! Once the party got started, the dance floor was packed as everyone celebrated the bride & groom.
Sharon & David, it has been such a pleasure getting to know you both!! Thank you for trusting me to tell the story of your day. I hope you love and cherish these photos and the memories they captured in the years to come. Wishing you two all of the best in this next chapter of your life together! Much love, Jen. xx
