Really NOW: Catherine and Mike!
Back in the summer of 2007, I had the honor of working with Cat and Mike on their oh-so-fun, personal, and well-planned big day. From their intimate tea ceremony, their backyard nuptials and their ballroom reception to her three dresses and stunning photography… it was SUCH a fun experience! So much, that I’m sharing it with you today. Lots of pictures in store, courtesy of Atrero Photography [one of the most artistic and creative photography teams that I've worked with to this day. I HEART them!].
The day started out with a traditional Tea Ceremony. I love Catherine’s attire in this picture, and how raw and emotional it is! Then, after the family-only service, it was on to the American standard ceremony!
I HEART this picture of Cat’s dress. Dang, right? Daaang!
Cat and Mike had their ceremony in their backyard. SO personal, SO cute, SO perfect! Her simple set up was such a big hit! With her bold colors- pink and red- shining through with paper lanterns, their fans and parasols, and petals… they allowed their ceremony speak for itself!
