Monica + Seth
They planned on using a friend to capture their engagement photos but their friend had to leave town suddenly so they asked if they could do that rather last minute with me. I agreed and was so excited to meet them in downtown Clarksville . I think they were a little nervous, especially Seth, so I really wanted them to see how easy working with me could be, so that wedding day, we would have a really nice laid back day. Well within minutes of the engagement, shoot Seth was laughing and smiling and almost forgot we were shooting pictures!
When we walked in to the building we were greeted by Monica's bridesmaids who were leisurely getting ready for the day. Sara, Rebecca and Katie, plus Monica and her Mom (Tamara) were all at a long table getting makeup on. The room was rather quiet and subdued I guess everyone was still sleepy because as the day went on there were so many jokes and so much laughter! I fell in love with the bridesmaids dresses! They were almost an eggplant color and perfect for every single body type. I think they are some of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. The wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses were from David's Bridal.
The groomsmen and Seth came in about an hour before time for pictures to begin. I loved their grey suits from the Men's Warehouse. I thought they really complimented the simple old school glamour theme I really had in my head. Monica really isn't a trendy sort of bride, to me. To me, she and Seth are very traditional. I think her dress will look gorgeous years from now too. As you can see from some of the photos, the bridal party were all funny and got along with one another! Seth's groomsmen were Bobby, Zack and Chris. Zack is Monica's brother and Rebecca's husband. They have the cutest little guy!!! I did try to steal him away or photograph him all day long!! lol!
My first favorite part of the day was definitely who Monica chose to be her flower girl. The beautiful NANA!! There was nothing that could have been sweeter, to me. This shows how much they love their family. This is perfect Monica and Seth.
Soon it was almost time for the wedding to begin and everyone was nervous. Heck I was nervous and it wasn't even my wedding!! I want to say this before I go farther. Monica's mom and dad won me over. I love them. They were kind and loved to joke and laugh. At one point after the wedding was over they met me in town and gifted me homemade applesauce and strawberry preserves. They are the best people. Seriously, they NEVER made me feel any less than a member of the family. They were so perfect and must be powerful mentors in their church family.
When it was time for the wedding to start I looked at Seth and could see every emotion on his face. Later he said that his favorite part of the wedding was that moment right before the doors opened, when the anticipation was killing him because he couldn't see her and didn't know what she looked like. Next his favorite thing was when the doors first opened. He said to Monica of the moment, "First when the doors first opened and you had that glow when you had the dress on and you were all beautifully decorated with make up and your hair done!" When she walked in he was moved to tears and I don't think there was a dry eye in the room!
Today Monica and Seth are still deliriously happy and are currently buying their first home together. They are a blessing to know and I am so happy I played a small part in their day. With one of their anniversary gifts to them from me, I hope to capture them at home in their new house, where we can continue documenting their love story. Thank you Monica and Seth for choosing me.
