If you are considering using Aaronstadt for your wedding photography we really appreciate that! We have been telling wedding day stories, with images, for many years and could not think of a better way to spend an afternoon, evening, weekend or whatever it takes to make those memories come alive again and again for you.

Samantha and Mitch, Lakeside Gardens, 11.05.11

Samantha got her wish. On a beautiful, misty, ethereal, mystical day in November she was married to the man of her dreams. Mitch, . . . he got lucky, Samantha was a beautiful bride. Though, he cut quite a dashing figure himself strutting around with that, "I've got the most beautiful girl at the party" look on his face.

They were  married Sunday, November 5, at Lakeside Gardens.  The ceremony was inside the cathedral ceilinged conservatory with a wall of windows at their backs looking out onto the beautiful, manicured, parklike grounds of Lakeside.  

Samantha and Mitch met for their first look in the wedding gazebo. They were very loving and expressive with each other. We took advantage of every dry spot we could find to create some beautiful images.

The ceremony was officiated by our friend, and a wonderful Reverend, Kevin Yell.  He has a way with words.  Maybe it's the english accent or maybe the way he makes everyone feel personally involved and invested in  the couples future.  Whatever it is, each time I hear him perform a ceremony I want to get married all over again and have him do the honors.

The flowers were created and provided by Flowers For You.  Kay Dietl of FFYis a master florist and  makes beautiful bouquets, cake accents and table arrangements.
The cake was from JaCiva's.  A yummy and masterful creation from one of our personal favs.

The party was MC'd by Mitch's best man Nate who did a fine job keeping the tunes rocking.  Patrice and I even joined in for a dance.
