Bridal Shower, Rehearsal, and Wedding

I really shouldn't be on here- there is so much today but I'm just brain dead so I'm taking a break. So here's pictures lots of pictures. Okay this was uh two weeks ago but here are the pictures from Katie's bridal shower, the rehearsal, and the wedding...

Can't have a bridal shower without cake
I printed a bunch of pictures of Katie w/ friends, Dave and Family- I suppose you can't have a shower w/ out some happy tears :-)
And of coarse you can't have one without lots of laugh w/ friends
After the shower- Us young ones as Katie's mom put it went out for dinner- it was so nice to relax and and enjoy the time w/ friends- the night ended at 3am after several hours of girl talk in front of a bonfire


The Rehearsal/ Rehearsal Dinner
We practiced on the front lawn of Katie's mom's place as the wedding was just going to be in an open section on top of a mountain. Here the Best Man (Nick) and Cody a groomsman were giving Dave "advice"
Alisha trying to take off w/ the Bride LOL
Alisha doing the mommy thing- multi-tasking
Here is Nick doing a practice run of his speech- for an English major he did well lol
Katie and Dave laughing during the speech- they look very happy :-)
Some Bromance going on- Dave and Nick having a moment- they are childhood friends

The Wedding Day
This is Dawn- she's Katie's sister and the amazing women who did all of our hair. Plus the one who I'll be doing a family shoot with. I love this picture - she was so frazzled about using Katie's iPhone- called it stupid technology but was so happy when she figured out how to use it on her own hehe
The bride all relaxed- getting feed and hydrated
The salad wasn't enough for her so one of Katie's friends and I snatched up the bikes and rode a few blocks to a subway to make sure she ate. Ryan Katie's brother picked up my camera and caught us coming back
Taking a break to feed the faces
Roxy one of the two photographers showed up just in time for us all to get dressed
Here's her dress and mine hanging in the window- no need to put them on until necessary
Dawn done with her break finished up the Matron of Honor. I sadly have no pictures of my hair being done but it looked GREAT
Katie trying to figure out how to get into her dress lol- I love this picture- well minus the hand that i just now noticed is in the corner of it
Mom and Ellery helping get the her in the dress- our dresses were to fluffy and got in the way but a great moment none the less
Roxy all morning had been trying to get a candid of me but I'm so in tune to where a camera is that she took it on herself as a challenge once I got a good candid of her :-)
Here is how we got to the top of the mountain- the guys had way to much fun in the big trucks flying up and down the mountain lol
here we are waiting for the grooms men to come back up- they went down not realizing we needed them for pictures - they just wanted to play
Here is Alisha "taking a picture" why I dont really know lol- but thats Adam behind her- I think he's the best looking guy the I've ever worked with. He works in one of our resturants at the hotel
These two aren't the most flattering pictures but here we are on the ski lift chillin why yet again we wait on one of the groomsman. But we weren't bored cool dude Nick looks to be keeping us entertained
Oh here you can see my hair- kind of- more sitting and waiting
The guys finally arrived looking goooood like they're suppose to
Nick climbing around- trying to get a better view
*KISSEY KISSEY**
Dave helping his soon- to- be with her dress

more *Kissey Kissey*
The studs just chillin out
The wedding party w/ Katie's parents. The guys trying to figure out how to look coool lol
I love this picture- Dad with daughter and groomsman- the best man stillin a kiss (a decent one)
The guys had no problem holding her but she was laughing so much that she was skirming I standing to the side praying they wouldn' drop her.
We attempted to do the same but all we succeeded at was getting a funny picture
Family pictures (both above and below)
Reception
Alisha enjoying a moment with her daughter
Mom giving Katie a hug - they had to leave in order to make it to church
Me with Bug- (Adalaina - about 8 months ago I took a picture of a co-worker pregnant well this is the little angel baby wearing the dress I got her when her mom first found out she was pregnant I was so sure she was having a girl :-) now she's a 6 month old little charmer)
They tastefully (haha) shoved cake at each other
Cody caught the gaurter and there was no way I wanted to catch the bouqet- not because of Cody but wasn't sure of what they would suggest afterwards so I pulled Katlin in front of me and she caught it ;-) which made for such cute pictures LOL
and to end it all is the cutest picture- there really wasn't much dancing other then the First Dance and the Daddy Daughter dance. So considering the floor was rather empty Anthony took is little lady bug onto the floor for his own daddy daughter dance :-)
