10 days of rain.
This was the forecast on weather.com for the week leading up to Erin & Spencer's wedding. Ben and I were preparing for the worst (but not talking about it, because we didn't want to jinx the day). I even styled my hair wavy for the occasion, because I know the not-so-cute outcome when straight locks and stormy weather combine.
Well eat your heart out Mr. Meteorologist - Erin and Spencer's day was drizzle-free.
That's right. Not a single drop. The sky was overcast (providing perfect, even lighting for photos), the temperature was warm, and the air had a slight breeze that made the inevitable Florida humidity totally bearable.
One could say that Erin and Spencer got lucky - it happened by chance; a fluke in the barometric predictions. I have another theory - I believe that good things happen for awesome people. Erin and Spencer are one of the most down-to-earth, easygoing, fabulous couples I have ever had the privilege of being around. Even if it had downpoured on their big day, they would have rolled with the circumstances.
So it's nice when God hooks it up for people who really deserve to be hooked up. ;)
Since this is a sneak peek, I'll try not to get too wordy. Check out the images below - there will be plenty more to come soon. This wedding will go down as one of my all-time favorites!
The gorgeous ladies...
...and studly guys. :)
Bling, bling.
The vows.
I LOVE these next two - the second might take the cake as my favorite from the day. Right after the ceremony, Erin and Spencer stole a couple of moments alone to enjoy the feeling of being husband and wife. :)
Seriously. Love, love, love.
Erin's brother, Justin, may be in the running for best brother of the year. Not only did he cover the photography cost as a wedding gift for the newlyweds, he also did an amazing job of playing guitar and singing the first dance tune - "Lucky" by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz. :)
The guests at the wedding knew how to get down. For real.
A photographer's dream venue - Casa Feliz (lit up at night).
Ok. I'm posting this last one because it cracks me up. While Ben and I were rounding up family members for portraits after the ceremony, I set my camera down on a chair. One of the groomsmen picked it up and started playing photographer for a few. This was one of the "gems" he captured:
