Wedding: Natalie and Jeramy, Pt. II

The reception!

A few of my favorite details…

The bride and groom supplied calling cards next to their guestbook with their new married address, phone numbers, etc. I’d never seen anything like it but I thought it was a brilliant way to spread their contact information to family and friends.

The toasts were sweet, just enough of a roast to get reactions like this from the bride and groom.

Who gave this kid a glass of champagne!?!?!?

No cake-smashing-in-the-face for this couple, but a little bit of encouragement from the crowd caused Jeramy to get a frosting tipped nose.

Natalie was so sweet during her dance with her dad, if you look close you can see the tears in her eyes and running down her cheeks. I had the “Butterfly Kisses” song stuck in my head for days afterward. :)

I can’t take credit for this shot… it was actually taken by the best man! He begged me to let him take a few pictures, and after interrogating him regarding the number of drinks he’s consumed and making him promise to wear the camera strap around his neck, I let him play for a bit. It was actually a great idea because the sight of his best friend playing wedding photographer really made Jeramy laugh!

Fierce competition for the bridal bouquet. The poor MOH never had a chance.

That tongue! Natalie knew Jeramy was going in with his teeth.

Jeramy removed the garter with his friends and family cheering him on, and stood up to celebrate with his teeth, only to find his new father-in-law staring him down from behind. Very funny moment.

To be honest, I’m really only including this picture because I like her necklace. Gorgeous right?

I took a break to switch lenses and eat some cake, and when I jumped back in the fray Natalie looked completely different!

The getaway car, which belongs to Natalie’s mom. Jeramy oh-so-conveniently sent his keys off with one of his groomsmen (haha, I know it was an accident Jeramy!) and so the couple were forced to take the car with them for the wedding night, when the original plan was just to use the car for the photos at the end of the night.

Happy marriage Natalie and Jeramy! I’m still a bit bummed you didn’t wear your new sunglasses down the aisle Natalie, but your eyes and smile were so radiant as you made your way toward your new husband that I can’t blame you for wanting to have the best view possible. Jeramy you have the best smile and I love watching you watch Natalie. It’s obvious that you adore each other and I loved spending your wedding day with you.

Best,

Jenna

June 23, 2010 - 7:27 pm Cécy - I love the wedding bouquet moment. It's a priceless picture when you catch such a brief and funny moment like that. Great shots. Some of the black and white onces of them dancing have a grainy feel, is that on purpose or was the light lacking?

June 23, 2010 - 8:47 pm Patty Jenkins - As mother of the bride at this wedding, I highly recommend Jenna Cole photography. Jenna is a delight to work with, and her work speaks for itself. However....any of you brides out there looking for a wedding cake, I cannot recommend Elegant Cakery in Southlake. The cake we received was noting like the cake we ordered. The dividers of flowers in styrofoam were not supposed to be there. The layers were supposed to be cut in angles to give it the uneven look. When we voiced our displasure, they were not the least bit appologetic, and instead made the comment that this cake was valued at twice the price of the one we paid for. That is some expensive styrofoam and flowers!!!! Also, they said they did not have Natalies phone number to call to verify what color of flowers she wanted (and remember she didn't want any flowers), yet made numerous calls to the groom's phone while they were on their honeymoon to inquire about their cake plate that had not yet been returned. Use at your own risk.

June 24, 2010 - 8:29 am Jenna - Patty, so sorry to hear about this trouble! Thank you for leaving a review for any brides who are looking for vendors to use. Thank you for your kind words about my work, it is pleasure to hear that you love what I've presented here.

June 24, 2010 - 8:33 am Jenna - It's on purpose due to lack of light. :) I like to switch between using available light and flash at the reception. The diptych of the two first dance photos were taken with a very high ISO, which is what gives them that grainy look.

June 24, 2010 - 8:47 am Jessica - Beautiful! So many favorite photos I can't even list mine. Oh and that necklace is fabulous! I also love the grainy look! Especially in the one spotlighting on her gorgeous ring!

June 24, 2010 - 9:41 pm Natalie Bradley - Jenna, They look amazing!!

June 24, 2010 - 9:45 pm Natalie Bradley - And, the cake is beauitful... They are very talented. Customer satusfaction just isn't high on the priority list. Simply weren't pleasant to work with, and that's very important on your wedding day! The picture Jenna took does make it look fantastic though :)
