Congratulations Michelle and Justin

Yesterday we spent 7.7.07 with Michelle and Justin. What a fun couple. We started with the girls at her mother's house. The first picture is of Michelle diving into her beautiful dress. Her dress and accessories fit her and her personality perfectly. She found her dress at Cincinnati Bride and the bridesmaids dresses were from Carrie Karibo Bridesmaids. One of my favorite moments during the day was when the couple saw each other for the first time. You could tell how excited they were and then they turned into being silly and having fun. The groomsmen even got into the fun with shades and photo ideas. The bridesmaids were great sports too and I am sure they will thank me for not putting a few photos on here – I am saving those for later.

During the ceremony at Saint Catherine Church in Fort Thomas, I loved how the priest (Michelle’s uncle) took a moment to welcome Justin into their family. It was a very moving ceremony. After the ceremony we went to Twin Oaks Golf Course in Covington. What an awesome reception site. The food was great, the music was awesome (thanks to musician Ben Walz and the couple’s DJ friends) and everybody was having a great time. It was so nice when Michelle’s grandmother complimented us and she made sure that we had something to eat. And just as dad went to dance with his daughter, he told me, “make sure you get my good side” and I asked which side was that, both? And he laughed loudly “Both!” So thank you everyone for making this wedding a great one. Michelle and Justin – enjoy Hawaii it will be wonderful!

Thanks Shannon and Josh for telling Justin and Michelle about us. It was great to see you two again. We had a blast photographing your wedding last October.
