Liz & John – Botanical Center Providence, RI wedding

Liz and John have style. I actually want to move in with them, their house is so funky and cool. (in fact, if it weren’t for the little bat problem they had recently, I’d probably be in the guest room right now.) I love when the stylish elements of a couple’s personality shine through in their wedding… there was nothing cookie cutter about this. And even though Liz claims to hate wedding planning, she did a fantastic job. The best part of the whole day was the way Liz and John interact, and how it makes the people around them happy. They both come from fabulous families, and you can see how Liz’s parents’ beautiful and loving marriage have set the example for her, and how John’s relaxed and happy parents’ set the example for him (when yu have 7 kids, you have to learn very quickly to be relaxed!) It was a great wedding for us to be a part of, as, as always, Heather cried along with the bride at the ceremony :)

John and his brothers pre-ceremony! This is why it's important to have two photographers- to capture funny moments like this!

The dress took a lot of lacing, but it was worth it. Check out that awesome bracelet! Liz has great style.

I love first looks. Whether or not you do them just the two of you or with all your family there, you're able to have a more natural reaction than at the end of an aisle. Plus, you're able to chill out together before the ceremony, and that makes everyone happier!

As Jesse was taking the "official formal photo" I snagged this one in between shots of the true moment.

I love formals before the ceremony. They chill everyone out and afford us time to get creative.

Liz and John were a little unsure of getting on the carousel, but it was worth it in the end.

I love the way Liz's dad looks at her... it's as if he's constantly reminded of every wonderful moment they've spent together.

Being pelted by rice! The rice made for really fun pictures, even if it ended up all down Liz's dress. Good idea Callie!
