There were a lot of reasons that this was a really spectacular wedding:
1. They had a beautiful ceremony with lots of singing and chanting.
2. They released 60 monarch butterflies in the park outside of their reception hall!
3. The reception hall was right on the beach, so we got to take some fantastic sunset pictures.
4. They had a live band and lots of guests who loved to dance.
5. This wedding was on Friday. (The best part about this was I then had Saturday off :) )
6. The couple and their wedding planners (Dramatic Affairs) worked really hard to make sure every little detail worked out. They really thought a lot about their guests when planning the day.
7. You could just tell that the couple really loved each other. Of course everyone is in love on their wedding day, but sometimes people are shy in showing their affections. Not Carole and James. They were cuddly and sweet to each other all day long, which makes for great candids of the couple.
The couple was so nice that they even made sure my assistant's name was printed on a seating card. (This had never happened before, so Heather was really happy when she saw it. The card usually just says "Photographer's Assistant" or there are two cards with my name on it.)
I'd have to say that June 5th was a great day! Beautiful wedding and beautiful weather!
