Here’s another 2009 wedding!  I second shot this one with the oh-so-fabulous Kelsey of KThompson Photography (I’m not kidding, she really IS fabulous!).  Sarah & Nick got married in a blizzard in December – little did we know that the snowpocalypse then was destined to be dwarfed by the snowmaggedon to come in February!  Sarah & Nick wanted to have a Christmas themed wedding and so the snow actually couldn’t have been more appropriate.  And, may I take this moment to mention how fantastically my little Prius managed the insane amount of snow – yay Prius!

 

The ceremony at St. Matthew’s Cathedral was so gorgeous and the reception at the Carnegie Institute was a blast!  Since there were so many images I liked from the first half of this wedding, I just stuck to that.

Who knew how artful and gorgeous the underside of a dress could be!  It’s amazing what you discover while lying on the floor!

Gorgeous bridal dress

So many Groomsmen's feet!

This shot makes me wish I’d gotten my camera out a little more often during all this snow!

The cathedral was fantastic and gorgeous from every angle!

They had only a moment to themselves in a back room before their wedding party came in and cheered and congratulated them…

The bride & groom share a joyful kiss!

Love all the little details at the reception!
