erin and lyle : married 9.24.11

On September 24, Erin and Lyle were married! It was a day filled with the many faces of fall weather-warmth and sunshine, thunder, lightning and rain! It was a recipe for the perfect wedding day! Thank you so much for including me in your day. I have very much enjoyed getting to know you both (and your friends and family)and wish you both the very best! Since you have been waiting 3 weeks for this preview, i will skip right to the good stuff...:) CONGRATS!! xoxo.

We started out in downtown GR at the hotel with the ladies getting ready.










happy feet shoes. :)


A friend of Erin's MADE this bag, incorporating erin and lyle's wedding colors! LOVE this!






Look at all the detail in her dress! Stunning!










Erin had a team of people working on her. :)


I always say this is the only day when you can get away with asking someone else to put your shoes on for you (until you are 8 months pregnant)! :)




Erin's Dad seeing her for the first time...




And off we go-to the church!


And the guys got ready at the church...








I love this church.










And then the ladies kicked the boys out of their "getting ready" area...


Breathtaking flowers! The florist did a beautiful job with these arrangements!










Brilliant idea of earrings as hairclips!


















































With stormy skies threatening, we eagerly set out to get as many photos in as we could at this perfect spot!










Skies getting darker...




and darker...


















And I think our time is about out, judging by the sky.












here it comes...


The look on erin's face reminds me that this is the point when the lightning and thunder began and it started to rain.




As we drove back toward the city, the rain seemed to mostly let up so we were able to get more photos!






























Freshening up in the bridal room, at the reception site...




































Erin made a dress change to allow more dancing and comfort after their first dances! I think this is an old tradition and i love the idea!






















Oh sweets bar, how I love you!


a few of my fav treats...
