Hot Trend #3: Liquor Stations and Signature
Drinks

Drink Station.jpg

One open bar? Out! Several drink stations? In! Steer yourself toward the station depending on the drink you desire.

And be prepared to sip on liquor-laden libations invented just for the big day. You may be enjoying a "Mark & Mary Martini"--gin, vermouth and just a touch of creme d' menthe to make it just the shade of green required to match the decor--another new trend in bride-and-groom booze. The beauty of an upscale alcohol presence makes finding wedding favors a breeze!

Perhaps you'll head to the beer and wine station for a glass of Lily & Lyle's Merlot. You won't want to miss Mike and Gracie's Margarita, a spectacular peach-colored concoction. Signature frozen drinks are hot, hot, hot! And there are extremely cool wedding favors to match!

Cheers!

meg + brian

post from our labor of love - the blog on 16 May 2008 03:36:00 PM. © our labor of love - the blog

it's official- they won the kissing award! as i went through the photos i realized "man, these guys have that whole kissing thing down" (see below). So needless to say because the kissing says it better, the love was in the air!
Brian and meg are an incredible couple and we were really looking forward to this day. They had the reception at one of our favorite venues- King Plow. Every time we shoot a wedding there it is completely unique- and the space always seems to fit the couple really nicely.

the girls looking in the sanctuary to see who's there.

the gorgeous bride, meg!

Hi, I'm Kelli, from Kelli Nicole Photography. I'm also Jenna's roommate from freshman year! I've been shooting weddings for about four years. It can be a lot of fun!! I feel that the photography is one of the most important aspects of the wedding day as those pictures will be what you have for the next several generations, and will still be there when your memory fails you or even to capture the small things you missed.

It's obviously very important to get shots of the couple smiling at the camera, but it's the little details and not-so-standard pictures that pull the whole thing together. You spend a lot of money on these details and you're going to want it documented!

I loved everything about this wedding, even the cool chairs and the cute bows they tied on and the floating candles.
The cake was really cool and it's fun to look for a new way to shoot cakes (I was able to shoot from a balcony for this one).
I love this shot of the bride's younger siblings. I didn't tell them to pose, and I love how short their little legs are :).
The cuff links.

A nice shot of the newly weds.
