Andrea and Zimiri at the Glen Manor Part 2

Posted by Melissa:

Here's our wedding party! Just Andrea's sis, Ashley, and Zimiri's bro, David. And of course Jennifer, our lovely flowergirl.

I love this shot! Just not sure if they are laughing with me or at me.







How fun is this!?

More beautiful flower photos.

Jumping! It's fun to do photos with a small wedding party!

How about that light? I love it!

Might be my favorite of the day

On our way to the water

Married!! Woo Hoo!

I never go all the way out to the end of the bridge. People are usually down there fishing. No one was there so we took advantage of it.

They are cute!

Another fave

OK, I love the square tables! And the brown table cloths, pink napkins and green seat cushions! Great color scheme!

Check out this cake by Confections! Andrea was in love with it! I don't blame her.

Our lovely couple has their first dance

Andrea told me "Make sure you get a photo of my marshmallows. They have our initials on it!" CHECK! They look pretty yummy!

Andrea and Zimiri wanted a photo of them in the window of the Glen. We ended up doing it after dark. This is a new move for me and I like it.

Another moody night time shot

It was a full moon! Does that mean the wack-a-doos were out? Maybe that's why the fire alarm kept going off!

I love it when the room has some extra lighting. Gives it an extra little something.

It's time to party! Nothing says party like a bride with a tambourine!

They are attacking my Andrea with their dancing!

A good time was had by all (including me)

The end of the last song. Looking at this photo I think it's safe to say that people had an awesome time and everyone is so happy for Andrea and Zimiri

Andrea and Zimiri at the Glen Manor Part One

OK so maybe you're wondering why is there a firetruck in the opening shot of Andrea and Zimiri's blog! I walked into the Glen Manor and the fire alarm started going off!! For a second I thought maybe I did something. A couple of minutes later a firetruck showed up! Thankfully it was a false alarm so it was back to "wedding-ing". Hey, at least it isn't raining!

A wreath by Snapdragons.

The back of Andrea's dress. So pretty.

Some bling on bling! One of Zimiri's friends told him that he had to stop buying such great rings for Andrea because he was making everyone else look bad.

Just when I think I've put the shoes in every place imaginable at the Glen I get a stroke of genius! I was so proud of myself!

Pointy!

How cute is Andrea!? I love her smile!

Here is Andrea and her sister, Ashley. Ashley is not only acting as Maid of Honor. She is also my little helper.

Some more beautiful flowers by Snapdragons

Just lounging before it's time to go down the aisle.

Our flowergirl! She was so excited!

Instead of having the maid of honor and best man sign the marriage license Andrea and Zimiri had their mothers do it! I thought that was sweet.

Going down the famous staircase! A must have shot for any wedding at the Glen Manor.

About to head down the aisle.

The big moment

Lisa got this great shot of Zimiri as Andrea was making her way down the aisle

Another shot from Lisa's angle! I can never resist the sun flare!

Lisa again! She was sneaking around the ceremony site getting some fun shots.

Finally a picture I took! I like the back row of people turing to watch the newlyweds.

Again!!! Yes, it went off again! During the ceremony! Thankfully you couldn't really hear it and it didn't happen during the reception. Whew! Andrea and Zimiri are laid back and fun so why not take some photos with the truck! After all it was a part of the day.

HA! Now that is funny!

Oh, could this be a future snap couple!? Andrea and I have already decided that I'm going to be photographing Ashley's wedding. No pressure on the engagement, but tons of pressure on hiring me! I want the chance to see everyone again!

I got this shot while we were waiting for the next group family to assemble for photos. Andrea was just standing there looking all cute so I snapped it!

Stay tuned for formals and reception fun in Part 2
