After the engagement photo session, I had the honor to do their wedding this summer at Shade Trees and Evergreens in Frederick, Maryland. It was a hot day, but we all had fun.
Here is my favorite image.
Let’s go back to the beginning of the day…
The maid of honor and the bridesmaids are helping the bride, Nicole, getting ready. 🙂
They all help each other too, of course. 🙂
Yup, it was hot that day. Any little breeze would help. 😀
The awesome view of the ceremony site, overlooking at the pond.
These are real butterflies which will be released during the ceremony.
The groom, Brandon, is getting help from his mother putting on the boutonniere.
Brandon with the best man and his groomsmen.
This cake topping cracks me up. 😀
No more slacking and playing Call of Duty Black Ops or any other video games once they get married. 😀
The father of the bride escorting the happy bride walking down the isle.
Each butterfly was dedicated to friends and families who had passed away. The butterflies were given to each representatives and would be released altogether.
And off they went!…
One butterfly was interested in on of the bridesmaid’s flower bouquet. 🙂
Nicole and Brandon’s first dance as husband and wife. 🙂
After the bride and groom’s first dance, they perform a dance show together with the whole bridal party.
The cupcakes wedding cake… 🙂
Speeches by the best man (Brendon’s Dad)…
and from the matron of honor, Audrey…
What a lovely sky we had that afternoon… 🙂
The wedding (cup)cake cutting…
And of course that had to happen… 🙂
Then it’s time for the bouquet and garter toss…
Lauren got the bouquet!
So this is what Brandon found… :p
Well he found the garter too of course… 🙂
Brandon tossed the humongous underwear first to trick the guys then immediately the garter afterward.
What a great coincidence, Lauren’s boyfriend, James, got the garter! So no awkward moment between the two of course. 🙂

Congratulations Nicole and Brandon!
May you both live happily ever after! 🙂
