1. We first heard from Gary a few years ago. A customer of his, whose daughter’s weddings we had photographed, referred him to us. Past clients sharing their experiences with others is everything to us!

I felt like we were talking to an old friend when we first spoke with Gary. I love how naturally he is himself, how honest and how enthusiastic he is about design and people in his life. When we finally met Chris, we were blown away by what a great couple they were!  Chris and Gary are such very special people, and I have loved every minute of the last couple of years getting to know them. Their wedding was uniquely them. With the ceremony at noon and the cocktail/reception immediately following.  Their wedding  was an elegant daytime celebration! Please sign me up for more of these!

They began their wedding preparations at the wedding venue the   Double Tree by Hilton Canton Downtown.  They both wore custom matching tuxes from Brooks Brothers, which were a combination of their favorite colors.  The other details of their outfits were also carefully thought out.  From their beautiful Rolex watches, diamond earrings, and Christian Louboutin shoes, to their custom Brackish feather bowties… these were two very sharply dressed men. Adorable pocket square boutonnieres topped it all off from Nikki’s Perfect Petals Design.  

When guests arrived, they were welcomed by drapery stretching from ceiling to floor. Walking toward the gathering area, they could see greenery cascading along the entire length of the space above them. In the ceremony room, the aisle was adorned with fresh white flowers and greenery, while the ceremony spot was framed by gold columns featuring fresh floral arrangements.  Such a pretty space for Gary & Chris to exchange their vows.

The reception room outshone the ceremony space with its breathtaking beauty. As guests entered, they were visibly awestruck by the abundance of fresh flowers and candles that adorned the room. Elegant live “trees” graced the corners of the dance floor, surrounded by even more floral arrangements and candlelight. Small glass ornaments were suspending from the trees and had votives that cast a glow on the greenery. The cake was a magnificent four-layer wedding cake, topped with a custom figure of Chris and Gary. Then there was the beautiful place settings and the thank you note that Gary & Chris left at each table.  So many well thought out details that showed the personality and style of this great couple, that I can’t begin to mention them all….so you need to view the rest of the post!

A big thank you to Gary and Chris for entrusting us to capture this special day and also for all the fun I had working with you two! Congratulations!
