I knew after we had a blast at their engagement session that Matt and Karen’s wedding would be nothing short of spectacular.   Plus the fact that Karen is the Catering Manager at Admiral Kidd Club !

The day started out downtown at the Courtyard Marriott in the Presidential Suite!

Andreea Boyce from Salon O made Karen’s hair perfect while Carina Bruner finished up her makeup making her look flawless!

Karen has been to enough weddings to know that sensible (yet adorable) shoes are a must!

All hand in!

This lamp was so cool.  The next day my Crate and Barrel catalog arrive and it was in there!

This was my favorite spot in the hotel!

The skyline view from the Admiral Kidd Club is fantastic!

Karen and Matt saw each other before the ceremony because they really wanted to enjoy their cocktail hour!

Karen requested a jumping shot so we set this up!

She was so happy about her personalized vows!

Lotus Flowers by Thomas provided the gorgeous floral arrangements and bouquets!

Karen had an amazing candy bar set up – she had these cherries just for me!  Ok, I know they weren’t just for me, but I like to believe that.

Mother in Law and Daughter in Law during the Hora!  DJ Gary Davis did a fabulous job of keeping the dance floor packed all night!

He got her good!

This shot was taken while Karen’s maids of honor recited their speeches.  At this exact moment, one of Karen’s friends was describing how the happy coulple were exactly alike in every way.  I looked over and saw this!  Crazy, right?  Same hands, same facial expression!  It cracked me up!

Yummy rings!  I ate the candy, but I did not swallow the rings!

Huge thank you to my 2nd shooter, David Baxter!  You rock!

Matt and Karen, I had a blast spending the day with you, thank you for treating me more like a friend than a vendor!  Congrats on your new home!

xoxo, M
