Laura and Norman - What Love is made of!!!

This is a wedding story I have been excited and anxious to write about.  Laura and Norman met with us, well probably almost 1.5-2 years ago.  Laura was very detail oriented and had tons of questions. She was verrrrrry into the planning process.   Norman, well, he let Laura do her thing.  They decided to have us photograph their wedding and that's where our relationship began.  The sweet couple decided to do their engagement session in Las Vegas.  So we planned the date and off we went.  Click here to see their session.

Then I photographed her Boudoir session and wedding.  Next they were attendants of another wedding we did a week ago.  I just know we will be photographing their babies and family photos for years to come. 

The wedding and reception was held at Reflections at the Buttes. 

The wedding train....choo choo.



Laura chose our favorite florist to do her flowers.....Elaine Taylor Fine Flowers.   L.O.V.E. on the stem is wonderful detail.

The wedding colors were chocolate and teal.  There may be a different name for teal....(sorry if I messed that up).

Love how it pops against the foliage.

I wanted to throw in this pic.  It is Laura and Normans Dads.  Just the cutest thing.

On to the ceremony.  The whole reason why we are all here today.  After 9 years of dating and being high school sweethearts, they finally made the leap. 

Reflections is butted up against Pusch Ridge Mountain.  Such a beautiful back drop.

 

Here are some details.  They had a candy bar....yummy.  I also loved that their wine and champagne glasses were etched.  Check out the glass at the bottom, this was their gift to their guests.

Laura and Norman also chose on of my favorite cake creators, Ambrosia.  Ambrosia's Red Velvet is to die for.  I love the cupcake tower.

Laura is a nut.  And I say this with love.  She is so much fun, light hearted and just a hoot to be around.

Norman was a sport.  They danced to a choreographed waltz.  The groomsmen were so moved that they held up candles in support of the couple.  (I''m wiping away a tear right now)

I could go on all day about this wedding, but I will wrap it up with a night picture silhouetted by the twinkling lights of the Gazebo.



Oh wait, that wasn't the end, this sweet flower girl says it all.  Nightie Night and sweet dreams.  Norman and Laura, your marriage  shows the world what true dreams are made of. Congratulations.  We love you both.
