Lindsay & Daniel | Lake Gaston Wedding Photography / by Lacey R Butler

A couple months ago (can it be that long now? time flies so fast, ya'll) I had such fun photographing this wedding at a private Lake Gaston residence. From the homemade decorations to the amazing pasta to the rain pouring down just after the toast about how great the weather was-- spoke too soon!-- to the way everyone quickly moved everything and continued the party under the deck until it cleared and just as quickly swabbed the dance floor. That may be the longest sentence I ever wrote.. anyway, it was just a fantastic night with a fun, loving (and fun-loving, come to think of it) bunch. 

 

 

The happy couple!

Emotion is my favorite! Also black and white. They kind of go together.

Teary bridesmaids during the father-daughter First look. I absolutely adored that Lindsay told the bridesmaids any dresses they wanted in pink tones. The variety worked really well together!

I admit it.. if I get to laughing too much, it's pretty hard to keep a shot in focus. I was dying while these ladies tried to hold Daniel.

Would you believe me if I told you that the dance floor was still a teensy bit wet and this chick slid into first to catch the bouquet? It was awesome!
