anna-kate and leslie - married!

it's impossible to meet them and not love them.  she's a petite beauty, and he's the handsome gentleman who loves her with his whole heart.  i'm thrilled to introduce you to my new friends, leslie and anna-kate oglesby.



as i typically do, i began their wedding day with the details that help make a bride beautiful.




and by the time anna-kate had finished dressing in her fabulous gown and veil, she looked nothing short of magnificent.   




but not to be outdone, leslie cleaned up pretty nicely himself. 




when leslie saw his bride for the first time as she walked toward him down the aisle, i would dare say he was breathless.  (my view is on the left and anna's is on the right)



but one of my favorite moments of the day came as anna and i hung back and let leslie and anna-kate have some sweet moments alone after their ceremony.  i couldn't help but smile when i heard leslie say:  i've got to step back and look at your dress.  i haven't seen it yet because i couldn't take my eyes off of your gorgeous face.  swoon.



another of my favorite moments came as i hung out by a tree and quietly watched them step out of the church together laughing.  something about this photo screams "royalty" to me.  i can't figure out if it's the dress, her tiara, or what...but they could totally be prince and princess here.



once their limo arrived, anna-kate and leslie had a grand entrance to their reception in the crystal room of the north river yacht club...




and they spent the next several hours dancing and enjoying the company of all of their guests.




anna-kate and leslie, i simply adored my time with you at your beautiful wedding and i hope that you're having a wonderfully relaxing and sweet time together on your honeymoon.  congratulations from all of your family and friends!!
