Michelle and Raul are awesome, first and foremost. They are our type of people. You know, the type of people you just feel instantly at home with, that you can hang out with and feel like you can be yourself…those type. So it was an honor to photograph their beautiful Chattanooga aquarium wedding.
I had so much fun being creative and getting a little different look than the usual wedding because the setting there was just phenomenal. And Michelle was gorgeous and they both just know how to work it for the camera so all that combined means we had a little fun:) A huge congrats to Michelle and Raul!
Michelle and Raul have a little girl who is quite possibly the cutest 2 year old ever. She was adorable on the wedding day and just hugged onto them during the ceremony like she knew it was for her too…so cute!
the wedding was on the river side (because the penguins on the ocean side are picky about music for receptions! And I’m not joking!) and the theme throughout the wedding was woodland so the girls carried fairy wands! They were too cute!
I couldn’t help myself on doing some wide angle shots…the aquarium just called for it and Michelle just took it to the next level and rocked it!
and then we shot through the aquarium, which I’m kinda loving:) Not your average bridal shot but its all good, we aren’t average around here;)
and Raul and his beautiful daughter joined in on the father daughter dance. Such a sweet moment!
so they let Brandi be up in the balcony during the ceremony which means she got birds eye pictures;) I am in LOVE with this one that she got! The pastor had each of the bride and groom write down separately (they didn’t know that it was for the ceremony) why they wanted to marry each other and read some of it during the ceremony. Ah, tearfest!
the infamous candy table. I mean, they put their picture on M&M’s! How awesome is that!?
the reception tent was unbelievable and almost fairy tale like. Hands down the best tent I have seen at a wedding.
they did a spin on a sand ceremony and included their kids to symbolize the families coming together. A really great idea!
I just love this picture so I decided to include it:)
saved my favorite for last. I just love both of these:)
