Jenny & Bruce

Jenny & Bruce are from Ohio and decided to have a destination wedding in Greenville, SC. She had a very hard time trying to find a church in downtown Greenville to have the ceremony....most all the church required you being a member or the immediate family of a member. However, she finally found Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Buncombe St. and I don't think she could have picked a better place. I loved the little stone church and after stepping inside it's doors you felt like you were in a different world.
Jenny's dress was gorgeous...and her shoes, well I don't think I could walk in them!
Jenny's grandmother couldn't make it to the wedding but she was definitely there in spirit. Jenny wore her jewelry and carried her handkerchief. It's those sentimental details that I love at weddings! This was a first for me....I've never seen a crocheting needle used to button up a dress, but I have to admit...it worked great!
The girls...making sure the veil is in place!
Bruce...finally getting to see his bride!
I think this is my favorite shot from their day....the dark wood in the ceiling of the church was so beautiful.....and I had to use it to my advantage. Jenny's parents during the ceremony.
Finally...they get to kiss.
Now, you can see from this picture why Jenny had such high shoes!!! She, like me, is a little vertically challenged while Bruce isn't at all!

I didn't notice while I was shooting this picture, but you can see one of the circular stained glass windows at the front of the church in this shot. And while I was taking this shot.......my favorite of Marty's.....I loved the light coming through the windows. Probably my second favorite of the day....
Then it was off to Wyche Pavilion behind Larkin's on the River for the reception. The centerpieces were beautiful.....
and the cake too!
The rings...
Bruce's brother gave a great speech...
...Bruce and Jennifer laughed as they listened.
Now, for their first dance, Jenny used a stool made by her grandfather. Even the pigeons were watching the first dance!
Jenny and her dad.
Now, I have to give one piece of advice....when you are in a wedding....whatever you do, don't play wiffle ball the day of the wedding...it can result in injury. If you don't believe me, just ask this groomsman!!!!
During the reception the sun was setting.
I must say we have never had anyone crash a wedding....Sunday was a first for us. These women had been eating dinner across the river, heard the music and decided to come check it out. They were standing in the corner of the pavilion, but the guys thought they needed to join in on the dancing!
I think everyone had a great time!
I had to get Bruce and Jenny away once more for a few more pics of them alone. The downtown area is so amazing....we had to take advantage of it.
It may have started to get dark, but things were still going on inside! Our first double-decker at the garter toss!
Umm...not sure what bouquet she was trying to catch! LOL!The guys were hilarious and enjoyed cutting up the entire night...I had a blast watching them!
The band kept everyone dancing. Finally Jenny and her grandfather danced together.
Then one more with her new hubby!
Now, as I said earlier, these two were from Ohio and so were most of the guests and wedding party. They got all the Ohio State Alumni together for a picture to spell out Ohio! Don't ask me how you decide who gets to be which letter...I don't have a clue!!!!
Jenny and Bruce...we had a great time Sunday! I hope you two are enjoying your honeymoon and have a safe trip back home to Ohio!
