This past Saturday, Alex and Chris were married at Nativity Catholic Church in Longwood, with a beautiful reception that followed at Timacuan Golf Club.
You may remember this fabulous couple from their recent engagement shoot at Kraft Azalea Park. In that post, I wrote - "It's so easy to capture two people who are as in love as they are." I can't reiterate that sentence enough. From sharing a silent moment of happiness during their ceremony, to letting loose on the dance floor together, Alex and Chris allow their adoration for one another to overflow into every interaction. Their love is genuine, relaxed, and completely unforced. It's beautifully sincere, which translates into honest, natural images.
Alex and Chris - we have absolutely loved every second of being around you guys. Thank you for allowing us to document your gorgeous day, and your gorgeous relationship! :)
Alex and Chris had a full Catholic Mass as part of their wedding ceremony. During the liturgy, they were able to sit together. I loved these little looks they gave each other throughout the service.
Lighting the unity candle.
One of my favorites. The priest asked everyone to extend their hands as he prayed for the blessing of Alex and Chris' marriage. I think it's so representative of the support and love Alex and Chris have from their friends and family.
I don't usually like to post formal family or bridal party shots, but the following 2 are a couple of my favorite group images to date. The guys and girls in Alex and Chris' wedding party were so amazing and easy to work with - each couple even chose their own pose in the second shot. They're naturals. :)
Two things I love about Alex; one, she wore flats to her wedding. Comfy and chic. Smart girl. Two, she had double the shoe cuteness - a classy white pair for the ceremony, and a fun, fabulous red pair for the reception.
Alex and Chris gave us plenty of time for portraits after the ceremony. Have I mentioned that I adore a couple who prioritizes photo time? Oh, I have? Well, not to be redundant, but I adore a couple who prioritizes photo time. :)
Love this.
A slightly different angle. :)
First dance. They are precious.
Father/daughter & mother/son dances. Alex and her father danced to "Butterfly Kisses," which is the same song my dad and I danced to at my wedding. I'm such a sap; it gets me every time.
Hands down - my favorite garter shot ever. That's skill, my friends.
Ladies, look closely. These are the faces of some guys who are eager to get hitched.
Near the end of the night. I just can't get over how adorable they are.
And did I mention that there was dancing? Oh - there was some serious dancing.
