Corrie and Shane 9.27.08 at Blithewold Mansion - Photos by Mariah and Trish

So as everyone knows it was a rainy day on Saturday. But let that not distract us from the real news of the day...Corrie and Shane finally got married after something like a million year courtship! Everything was so beautiful and well thought out, Corrie's attention to detail was amazing, everything matched! We didn't mind the weather and we had a great time with them on Saturday, I think everyone else had a great time too!

She had these spectacular sparkly pieces in her hair.

Getting ready with the help of the sisters.

Disco limo! (humungous Hummer)

Corrie and her Dad coming in from the rain.

Another amazing bouquet from Sayles Livingston. I love the bright vibrant colors.

What a gorgeous portrait, modern, yet classic.

The girls waiting before the ceremony.

Meanwhile..here's Shane indulging my odd posing request. The Marriott never looked so cool.

This is Brady, he was very patient waiting at the hotel for the limo to arrive.

Shane mac-ing in the disco limo.

OK, so here I am arriving and posing for Mariah shooting my pic, then there is the real me with the crazy expression. Boy that umbrella was a real tough nut to crack I guess.

On the way to the ceremony...

I know that Corrie was disappointed to not be outside, but this room was really beautiful!

Finally!

So because we are lucky gals, the rain stopped for a tiny bit and we ran out for some photos!

You can't have too much smooching, can you?

The flower girl really had a great time during the picture taking! Kids are always a fun wild card at a wedding, you never know what you will get.

Look at this fun shot of Corrie with some random person. Oh, that's Mariah, photo girl extraordinaire!

Mariah did this awesome shot of the wedding party. What rain?!

Even more smooching...

How 'qute' is this?! Every place had a monogrammed napkin.

Corrie was not sure if she should do the lanterns initially...YES! They totally make it!

Corrie looked like a professional dancer! They seemed so at ease and natural. Hey where did her shoes go?

Cake! Got to get some sugar for energy to dance all night!

Our first place winner in the break dancing contest...

More sugar energy in a beautiful presentation from Blue Rocks catering.

I have no idea.

UCONN...Huskies! I love the school spirit.

The last dance. Seriously, those lanterns totally rocked it!

Melissa and Ethan at the Atlantic Beach Club 7.5.08 Photos by Melissa and Ara

I don't know who is in love more... Melissa with Ethan, Ethan with Melissa or me with the both of them! Ara and I had such a great day with the happy couple, their family and friends. Everyone was so nice and treated us as though we were part of the gang. Rain was in the forecast. I came prepared with umbrellas, but thankfully they were never opened! We had SO much time to take photos! It was a photographer's dream! I took so many that I had a really hard time picking which ones to put on the blog. This is what I ended up going with in the end...

Melissa got ready at her parent's house. Their little girl is all grown up!

Getting ready

The Beautiful Bride
Melissa and Ethan got this cool car to drive them around on the big day! I loved it!

Melissa loves to show off her ring! Here she is showing it off immediately after she got it!
These guys were such a fun bunch!
Holding up traffic!! Oops!

Melissa knew from the engagement shoot that I would be asking them to do lots of smooching! Here are some of my favorite smoochy photos!

The lovely couple
When I blogged Ethan and Melissa's engagement photos I promised we'd do this shot on the wedding day. I didn't want to go back on my word!

Showing off those rings again!

We were all about the rings! (Idea by Ara & Photo by Melissa)

When we got to the ABC we took the bridal party out on the beach for some fun shots! Can't get more fun than jumping...

And running...

Finally done with photos! There was still time before the cocktail hour. I was taking photos of the room when I spotted the whole bridal party outside hanging at the bar!!! Pretty funny!

Melissa loves Star Fish!

As a matter of fact she said she was going steal these two that were placed in front of the cake! I don't think the bride has to resort of stealing anything! Everybody should give her what she wants! Right, Melissa?!
Here's Erin from Custom Wedding Films doing her job! She was a pleasure to work with!

Here's Job from Rhythm Productions. He was very excited to hear he'd be on the blog again! We love working with Job!

Time to dance!!!

Here are Melissa's Dad and Ethan's Dad dancing up a storm together!

The end of the night!

It was a pleasure to hang out with you guys on your big day! Thanks for letting me be a part of it! Congratulations! - Melissa
