Like I said in the previous post, thank goodness it didn’t rain. With 2 outdoor ceremonies for Klose Photography on Saturday, we were praying that the rain would hold off. And even though the radar looked as if it was going to pour any minute, we never did get any rain. Lindsey and I captured Kristen and Gerald’s wedding on Saturday. We started with the respective getting ready shots: I was at the Hilton with Kristen and her girls and Lindsey met up with the boys at the Civic Club. I have never seen a bride and groom give each other more presents that these two! (I’ll explain that in a little bit). Kristen and her dad enjoyed a carriage ride from the Hilton to the Civic Club before the ceremony. After the outdoor ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside (rain free!) while Lindsey and I stole Kristen and Gerald away for some creative portraits. Then everyone made their way inside for a great reception.
I know you really only want to see the pictures, so here we go…
Present #1 – When we arrived at their room at the Hilton, Kristen was greeted by beautiful red roses and a card “To My Gorgeous Wife”. Needless to say, there were some tears shed.
This shot is so funny to me. It’s like a “getting ready train”.
The natural light in the suite was just perfect for some dramatic captures.
Present #2 – This necklace, and it’s partner the bracelet, were a gift from Gerald as well. Apparently, he’s very bad at keeping surprises. So he bought these with the intention of giving them to Kristen on their wedding day but instead gave them to her as soon as he got home from the jewelry store.
The lovely bride x 3.
What a cutie pie!!
Present #3 – Not to be outdone by her husband, Kristen’s present to Gerald was fantastic. She rented him a Porsche for the weekend!!!! I was actually there for it’s surprise delivery on Thursday prior to the wedding. Gerald was beside himself with excitement.
One of my favorites captures from the day.
So this is Gerald walking both mothers down the aisle. He stole a quick glance up to check the rain situation.
This is what was looming.
Some moments from the ceremony.
After the ceremony, it was time for some alone time with the bride and groom.
The Porsche. I have a feeling this is going to be a large print in their home. 
Their signature drink was a blue martini, fitting for the Tiffany blue theme that was going on.
The cake, by About Weddings, was one of my favorite all time cakes.
During the reception, we snuck out for another quick portrait session.
The rings.
Present #4 – FIREWORKS!! This was Gerald’s present to Kristen but also a surprise for their guests. They even got to push the button to start them. So cool!
And a fantastic way to end a wonderful day. Thank you K & G for welcoming us and letting us capture your day.
