Under a bright blue sky and brilliant fall day, we walk into the Holy Family Church, where Christy and Dan’s wedding ceremony took place.  We had quickly visited Christy’s hotel room for a few pictures prior to heading to the church, and Christy decided to put on her dress at the church- ironically in a room directly below the nave, where Dan and his groomsmen were also completing their finishing touches and pinning their boutonnieres.

As Christy put on her dress, all of the bridesmaids watched, snapping intermittent pictures on their cell phones, in awe of the beautiful Christy in her wedding dress.  As Christy’s veil was tucked into her hair, her sister turned away, trying to hold back the happy tears.  The room was filled with love and excitement, truly a beautiful atmosphere to be a part of.

Watching Christy and Dan together throughout the day was  like watching two best friends, immersing themselves in they love they have for each other, and with friends and family.  One of my favorite moments of the day was watching their introduction into the reception- after immediately stepping onto the dance floor, Dan swooped Christy up into his arms and twirled her around and around, while confetti was tossed about them.  Watching them sing to each other as they swayed to their first dance song was incredibly sweet!  They had one of the most hysterical twists to the garter toss- I won’t ruin the surprise, but scroll down to see what Dan pulled off of Christy’s leg besides the garter!
