Jason photographed Christina and Corey’s engagement session earlier this year and was looking forward to their big day. I had fun emailing with Christina and seeing her projects in progress and the details she had chosen for her wedding day! The wedding was at East Lake Woodlands Country Club and Christina’s grandfather was the officiant. As Christina walked down the aisle, her mother played the violin. How special to have such important family members be part of your ceremony! Purple was the wedding color and was used in the bouquets and pomander balls at the ceremony. Christina made all the floral arrangements herself! But Christina isn’t the only crafty one. Corey made the personalized hanger (C&C Designs) for the wedding gown too.
There were so many creative details at this wedding. The ceremony program started with, “Christina & Corey are getting married today! (if this is news to you, you may be in the wrong place)!” The back of the program had a crossword puzzle with the clues being trivia about the couple and their wedding. At the reception, guests were given a Wedding Advice Mad Libs to fill out and there was an I Spy game for guests to play with camera and cell phone pictures. It was a fun way to get guests to share their reception pictures, but I love that the bride and groom valued the importance of their ceremony by putting something in their program asking guests to be “in the moment” and put away their cell phones and cameras for an unplugged ceremony. One of my favorite details from the day was the personalized cake topper that the couple had made. The groom is playing Call of Duty on the XBox while the bride is working on her laptop with a baby sleeping at her feet. Perfect! At the end of the night, everyone danced and partied with glow sticks until the sparkler departure. Christina and Corey did such a great job of making the day their own!
The Day of Coordinator for the wedding was All Day, Your Day Productions and the DJ was DJMC Brownie. Jason had a blast at the wedding and said the bride and groom and their family and friends were awesome. It is always a huge honor to take pictures for another photographer and we are grateful to Christina and Corey for inviting us to be part of their wedding day! Congratulations to the newlyweds!
