Riverhouse Pavilion Wedding: Kimmy + Mike

After Kimmy and Mike’s cute engagement photo session at Washington College and at Chestertown, MD, I finally had the honor to document their beautiful wedding at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church and at River House, both at Easton, Maryland.

Here is one of my favorite shot of the day of the Bride and Groom.

The flower girl insisted that the isle should be filled with flower petals even on the sides, so she walks, left to right, left to right, all the way to the altar. 🙂

Their hobby includes reading books, so it’s only natural that the table centerpiece decorations incorporated books. 🙂

The Video Jockey, VJ, of the night, was Dereck Heckler.

The video clip being displayed here was “Another One Bites the Dust” from Queen.
It’s cool that whatever music was on, the corresponding video clip would be played as well.
