Paul & Mandy

I'm having a great run of wonderful weddings right now. I can't believe how lucky we are to get the couples that we get. Paul & Mandy are a wonderful example of that, from the moment we started until the very last frame we shot they were fun, energetic, and completely in love. It certainly shows in the photography and makes my job a whole lot easier.

The ceremony was held in Ankeny at the very nice Ankeny United Methodist Church, with a very lovely service filled with a lot of arithmetic. (I think that was for Paul's benefit) Following the service we all headed down town to the Capitol and then down near Court Ave to get a few more shots and more importantly some more drinks. There was a polka band playing at the Hessen Haus and they got the whole wedding out on the dance floor when they played "No beer in Heaven". The time got short and we all headed to the Jester Park Lodge for the reception. It was really beautiful with candles lining the entrance adding to the ambiance. A nice touch to the evening was that they had Pianopalooza a dueling pianos duo instead of a DJ, it was fun as they were able to take requests & I think the highlight was when all of the men sang "You've lost that loving feeling" while on their knees to Mandy. This was such a fun wedding, I could probably go on forever about it, but I'll just post a few pictures here.

Thanks again guys, for more pictures you should head over to Kelly's site as I'm sure she'll have some up soon. Have fun in Mexico and we'll talk to you when you get back!
