Wendi & Ryan

Wendi and Ryan's wedding was the second half of our second double-header weekend in a row! WHEW!!! The wedding was at Guthrie Grove Baptist Church in Pelzer and we definitely couldn't have asked for better weather....a little cooler maybe, but the sky was gorgeous!

The up detail in Wendi's dress was very beautiful! So was her wedding band and the box it came in!The finishing touches....earrings that she made herself!
A quick shot with her sister Amy.Wendi and Ryan decided to see each other before their ceremony and do all of the pictures beforehand. Here's one of my favorites....all the guys with some attitude!
The whole wedding party!
There was the great field behind the church....it was a perfect place to take pictures....we just had to watch out for the blackberries and not get them on the dress!
My favorite of the day I think! Kaye Green did a great job on the flowers!
The flowers girls walked in to the ceremony and immediately took a seat on the steps. They were so cute! Ryan as he began his vows to Wendi.
One guest on the back row...I think she recorded the whole service - I'm sure she got tired of holding that camera up!
I was able to sneak up to the balcony for a few shots!
Immediately after the ceremony these two hopped in a car and off to the reception they went! A Taste of Heaven did a fabulous job on the cake. I love their work!
I love being unobtrusive at weddings and receptions.....especially when I have the opportunity to get shots like this!
It was great watching these two at their first dance......you can really tell how much in love they are!
The rings!
This little guy....he was all over the dance floor! He was too funny!
Wendi's sister Amy giving her speech to the newlyweds!
And the father-daughter dance. I think everyone had a great time on the dance floor...not sure who had more fun...the kids or the adults......
the young...or the young at heart! Ellie getting a lift from Ryan!
One of Marty's shots that I loved. I think Ryan had a little surprise up his sleeve for Wendi. Their DJ wasn't a typical DJ....he used LPs on a turntable and mixed music. Well, Ryan took over......something Wendi didn't know he could do.
Finally it was time for these two to have their candlelight exit out of the Hilton!
Wendi finally gave a good laugh....after threatening everyone that they better not knock on her door that night!!!!!
Wendi and Ryan it was so great spending your wedding day with you and sharing in your happiness! We hope you have a fabulous honeymoon and a safe trip home!!!
