Mary & Mike get hitched!

I've known Mike since high school (which is more years ago than I'm willing to admit!) and I met Mary when they started dating.  Since then they've had two adorable kids, bought a house, and let me snap a bunch of photos of them (Mikey and their Engagement)!  So it goes without saying that I was honored when they asked me to photograph their big day!

They got married at their home in Indiana, which was totally decked out with flowers, vintage furniture, and amazing accessories- it was unbelievably cute!

As guests were arriving, they were encouraged to take a photo in the photobooth and grab a mix CD that Mike & Mary made as favors.

Because of the chilly weather, they moved the wedding from the backyard into the basement, and it turned out beautifully!

Mikey liked running around all the chairs!

Their officiant was a close friend of their's, Chris- I caught him getting ready inside. Love the bow tie!

Meanwhile, people we're arriving and hanging out in the backyard...

SO MANY stylish people!

 

Then Mike & Mary saw each other for the first time that day..

I LOVE this shot of Mary.. she is stunning!

After the group shots, it was time to get ready for the ceremony.

Finally it was GO time!

And they were husband and wife!

 After a few quick kisses, it was back inside for the first dance.

Then it was party time!

  Then this happened.. it was awesome.

The maid of honor & best man speeches had everyone smiling.

Then, just before I left, everyone walked down to the park and released paper lanterns- it was beautiful!

Congratulations, Mike & Mary!!! Thank you for having me at your wedding!!!
