Katie & Jed 12.11.09

After mee­ting Katie & Jed at Kate & Mar­cus’ wed­ding in 07.08 and then taking their enga­ge­ment pho­tos on a super chilly day in 11.08, I KNEW that 12.11.09 was going to be an abso­lu­tely fan­tas­ti­cal time! 

I arri­ved at Bed­ford Village Inn as hair and makeup was finishing up with Katie’s mum.

And Katie was get­ting into her dress. I love the hands making their appea­rance in the left hand photo.

Once the dress was in the right place it was time for the veil!

And some s.e.x.y. red shoes. HELLO Christmas! 

It was just about time and Katie’s dad came in to check on her. Just look at them — and her mom & brother in the back­ground. Such an ena­mo­red family! 

Katie was BRAVE and humo­red my idea of hea­ding out on the bal­cony in the pitch black of the windy Decem­ber night. I don’t know — I’m think it was worth it. 

Then it was time. Oh Jed. I heart you. Not like Katie does though — wow-​eeee!  

Something about the two of them and the fee­ling of their wed­ding was just so clas­sic. I found myself loving so many of their pho­tos in black & white. 

Short & Sweet, but to the point. 

Christ­mas­time is magi­cal. Christ­mas­time wed­ding at BVI is like a Martha Ste­wart Decem­ber issue came to life. uh.maze.ing.

From the details in the bou­quet to the orna­ment place cards everything was perfection.

They dan­ced very lovely parent dan­ces, but my most favo­rite part was when Katie’s parents took the dance floor and dan­ced like it was their first dance. Katie and Jed watched them with love and awe (and perhaps making some men­tal notes ) 

Then the props came out and the party got down! 

Flash For­ward! I caught Kate & Mar­cus during a slow dance and I knew it loo­ked fami­liar! I love that even without seeing their faces you can tell how in love they are. And, um, how much they are in love with the little one to be — Kate was 5 months preg­nant in this photo! (And I get to meet their CA-​UTE! baby this fall!)

But enough about Kate & Mar­cus — this is after all Katie & Jed’s wed­ding! And here they are one last time surroun­ded by friends and family cele­bra­ting them. As it should be!

Thank you thank you guys. More than you know.
