Here is part 2 of Armanda & Mike’s wedding – the aforementioned party that lasted all night long!

Ceremony & Reception: Keons at Black Swan Country Club, Georgetown, MA

So, part of Mike’s family did a surprise flash mob dance during the reception – it was amazing as more and more guests joined in throughout the song… And Armanda & Mike were definitely delighted – and surprised!

Armanda and Mike… A gorgeous couple! It really goes to show, even though I don’t think Mike was too comfortable in front of the camera (not unusual for my clients, who generally like a lot of candid photos), every time he looked at Armanda he lit up and I got some of those real expressions! And Armanda was stunning of course – loving that gown, too, with the lace.

It was one of those scorching summer days, the ceremony was pretty fast, and then we did the formal photos as quickly as possible so everyone could get into the air conditioning! From there, the reception was a blast and just got better and better. These people really know how to party!

I love the look on this bridesmaid’s face as she sees Armanda for the first time in the dress!

A lot of laughing on this wedding day :)

More laughing! I love it when the wedding party gets a little silly during the formals – capturing those emotions after we get the “real” shots.

The guys definitely don’t mind having a break while we do the bridesmaids’ photos.

The Black Swan has this cute little bridge through the golf course that we used for some of the photos.

When I first met with Krysia and her mom (about 10 months before the wedding), they were already telling me about all the plans they were making for the amazing backyard landscaping that would be the focal point of Krysia and Michael’s wedding. They did all of this themselves! As a novice gardener, I am just in awe. Not only did they create this beautiful backdrop, but they made the bouquets and centerpieces themselves, folded all of the origami cranes, and even made most of the food for the reception.

When I first arrived to look around and start shooting, I asked Krysia’s mom where she was – “Out back getting the pony ready” – she was all done up with her hair and makeup, and she and her sister were putting the roses in the pony’s mane!

I love it – Krysia’s puppy, along with the family’s rescued goat and pony were part of the wedding procession. The bridesmaid with the goat had her hands full!

More gorgeous details and flowers.

Michael’s niece was just the cutest flowergirl… And can you imagine it – being able to dress up in a pretty poofy dress *and* ride on a beautiful white pony all at the same time?!

I remember part of Michael’s best man’s toast – “believe it or not, we southerners usually do not have farm animals in our weddings” – I think I remember it because I am also originally a southern girl. Ha!

Did I fail to mention that it began pouring down rain halfway through the reception? No worries, the party goes on!

Even when the power started going on and off… that didn’t stop the party!

Rebecca and Eli had an amazing backyard wedding at Eli’s parents’ house this past May… I couldn’t believe how beautiful and elegant a backyard wedding could be! They personalized the ceremony by having their friend as officiant, their parents do the readings, and writing their own vows. The landscaping was perfect for photos, but even better, the Merrimac River was a short walk away, so we headed down there for a few shots of just the two of them before getting back to the party.

Ceremony & Reception – Merrimac, Massachusetts
