Rachel and Granville’s Wedding

Leave a comment

Rachel and Granville were married at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks May 30th. The weather was nice, if not a little on the warm side for May – but at least it wasn’t raining! There is very little shade anywhere in the garden in the middle of the day, but we managed to find a few nice shady spots for taking pictures. It was a pretty wedding and the botanical garden is starting to look very good now that it is in its second year.

Here are my customary teaser images while I finish going through the pictures:

I like the height difference between the last groomsman and the ringbearer, who is really concentrating on walking in step!

The nice thing about the arbor used for wedding is that you can walk aorund the back or side to take pictures. Usually you can't really see the couple's face from the audience during the candle lighting.

The silver streamer-poppers that were given to the guests looked great for pictures!

I also have to brag on my hubby a little. Ed comes with me for the larger wedding shoots and is really helpful. When he is not hauling gear, holding reflectors, etc, he take pictures. He gets some good candid shots, and I am especially proud of this one:

group hug!
