Enjoy MR and Mrs S's Wedding Slideshow Premier here!
They love the Beatles (as do I) so I just had to make
them their very own compilation.





Mrs S's gown was a gorgeous Carlos Miele. Is was a beautiful spring day, and we decided to bring the gown outside and hang it on a cherry tree!







What girl doesn't love a pair of Christian Louboutins? Especially when they are purple and covered with swarovski crystals ? Alison had the bottoms of them painted blue for her "something blue." How cool is that?



Her bouquet was incredible....it had feathers decorating it.....how lovely!



Sexy shoes....we couldn't get enough fotos of them : )



The bridesmaids dresses were designed by one of Mrs's bridesmaids! We loved how they complimented Mrs S's gorgeous gown.









Mrs S's cake, made by the amazing Buddy from Carlo's Bakery, was delivered by Buddy himself. The cake was incredible! Can you believe that those flowers are made out of sugar.....we thought they were real!



The shoes....: ) And Mrs S's beautiful ring. Too much sparkle? I think not!




Mrs S's vision for the processional of the ceremony was to have everyone throw paper airplanes into the sky to that new popular song "paper airplanes." So all the bridesmaids folded the planes out of origami paper.....good teamwork girls!



A pile of papers...



The planes were a good idea....Alison must have been thinking of her new last name. Planes in the sky?



Here's Mr. S himself. Getting all "groomed" up.






Mr S's dad helping his son with the boutineer.



Mrs S. + Mr S. opted for a "First Look, " where the couple has a private moment to see each other before the ceremony. We of course stood back to get their reactions of seeing each other for the first time that day, all "weddinged" up. Here Mrs S. waits for Mr S.



What did we say about the details? Love, love, love the feather hairpiece and her braids!




Here comes the groom!



The bridesmaids watching from above.....we think they approved!



Hot!



I love the way Mr S looking at his bride here.




More yummy details.....a feathered armband...what!?! Very original and awesome. Did we mention that Mrs S. is a fashion forecaster? Now you know why her look is so tomorrow! I LOVE the reoccurring feather theme.....look even Mr S's boutineer has one!






After they relaxed for a little while, we took off onto the gorgeous property of the Alpine Country Club for some portraits of the couple. Don't they look like movie stars in this one?



Taking advantage of the beautiful light : )






Did I mention....HOT!



Some of my favorites of the day.



Oh, nope, this might be my favorite...yup.









How pretty...



Did we mention how much Mrs S loves to climb trees? Even while wearing a wedding gown? Now that's talent!



Another favorite of the day.






I LOVE this one too.....oh too many favorites!



Paul grabbed these shots with a "lensbaby," which gives an "artsy" blurred edge around the fotos. It's pretty random what you get with it because the focus is really tough...but worth the happy surprises! Especially when your couple is spontaneous and jumps around!



We had taken the golf carts out to get around the property...we just had to shoot them in it.....again, the shoes!






The ketubah signing. I love how Mrs S's parents are standing with her.



The bridesmaids in the fantabulous dresses!



Mr S's parents watch as their son looks so happy!



It's official....Mr. and Mrs. S.!



I love this tender moment.






Mr S. does a happy dance with his parents before walking down the aisle. I caught this through the window..hehe.



Another view of the bridesmaids in their ridiculously awesome dresses. Coming down the aisle. Or should I say.....runway.



Mr S's turn....the moment he's been waiting for.



I love the look on Mrs S. and her father's face here.....so emotional.






I love when couples laugh during ceremonies....it's so in the moment to laugh because of your happiness. Reminds me of the motto for life: Live, laugh, love.



It was getting dark fast...but I love the feeling of this one.



The rings.



Details of the ceremony site.



I grabbed this shot from above....I had to make a mad dash for the balcony above, through the country club and up to the ladies locker room....but it was worth it I think.



And Paul got this shot of the ceremony and all the guests...very dramatic.



Married! Airplanes soaring!



The beautiful Alpine Country Club at night. We adore shooting here...the whole crew of people, especially Candace, the event coordinator is a dream to work with. Thank you Candace, we can't wait to see you again!



The ladies "rockstar-ing" it up. That's a new verb by the way.



And the gentlemen.



The lovely spread of the cocktail hour. They even had a suishi bar.



The cake in all it's glory. I still can't believe those flowers....wowzer.






The table setups were so very lovely. Love the spring color palette.






The first dance.....



How romantic is this?






Ah...the hora....oh so much fun!



Soul Street was just outta this world! These guys (and ladies) were insanely talented. They could do everything...and well!



Mrs S. getting down with her bad self.



These guys can even rap......they really got the crowd going! We highly recommend them if you want everything- soul, jazz, rap, hip-hop, r&b, all mixed with pop and the classics.



Told you the crowd was diggin' it!






Mr S. gettin' down with his bad self.



Mr S. gettin' down to hug one of his very happy groomsmen.






The ceremonial cutting of the bread.



Okay, these really choke me up.....Alison dancing with her father. LOVE me some dramatic video light and lens flare to boot.






Mr S. dancing with his oh so happy mom.



Mr S. even had a special dance with his sweet little grandma.






Mrs S's mom Suellen was having a ball!



So colorful....and sweet!



I love finding the couples in the crowd who are so into each other.



Mrs S. and her gals.



Mrs S's sweet parents.



Time to make the toast.






Suellen, Mrs S's mom, helped Mrs S so much with the planning, they just had to give her an http://www.oscar.com/ for her performance. She was so tickled!

The newly-weds having their final twirl of the night.
