Kate & Marcus 07.12.2008

Kate & Mar­cus have the most bri­lliant smi­les and kin­dest hearts ever. So in love the two of them are! We had a beau­ti­ful time at their enga­ge­ment shoot last Octo­ber and I was so exci­ted when they sho­wed me the Thank You Cards, Save the Date mag­net & then the wed­ding favor stic­kers they made with their pho­tos from that shoot! The other thing I was sur­pri­sed to see was how they’d lost so much weight! I heard a guest say that together they’d lost 80lbs before the wed­ding — that just put the amount of gor­geous the two of them are OTT!

I arri­ved at Kate’s mom’s house just as hair and makeup were lea­ving — her girls were a great help in get­ting her ready to go!

The cere­mony was at St. Pius in Manches­ter — a beau­ti­ful church!

Kate’s dad has kind eyes — Kate also, and here they’re brim­med with tears as she looks at Marcus.

Their recep­tion was held at the GORGEOUS Manches­ter Country Club — we snuck out for a few more for­mals at sunset.

I loved all of their details, espe­cially the wed­ding pho­tos of their parents!

The roses for Kate, Mar­cus & the church are called “Big Fun” — by the end of the night Mar­cus’ had ope­ned lar­ger and more per­fectly than any rose I’d ever seen before!

The DJ was great — if you wan­ted the Bride & Groom to kiss you had to get all of your table stan­ding, clink your glas­ses, and then sere­nade the cou­ple with a song that inc­lu­ded the word ‘love’ — 99.9% of the time the DJ would play that song right after till the next table was ready to go. The crowd loved it — it was so much fun to watch!

Kate & Mar­cus — thank you so much for making me a part of your lives! It was honor to be at such a beau­ti­ful event!
