Michelle & Dave

24 Sep 2008

To describe Michelle’s mood before she was married as “excited”, would be a total understatement. In Michelle’s eyes, she was marrying the world’s most awesome guy. Therefore you can imagine the mood was electric in the lead up to the wedding.

Then the ceremony itself.. Michelle couldn’t take her eyes off Dave the whole time. Everytime I looked over, there she was, her short and petite frame, gazing up at her new husband Dave, with a smile so radiant, the midday sun seemed dim in comparison. Numerous times, Michelle was seen pumping her fists in the air, making some sort of gesture to show her excitement.

Dave’s speech put a smile on everyone’s face, and a tear to everyone’s eye, as he explained that he knew from early on that she was the woman that he would marry, and how having her in his life, his life has improved and she has shown him new and better ways. (I know how you feel Dave)

I wish you both the best in life, and can’t wait to show you this wedding album that I’ve almost finished already!

Enjoy Hawaii and New York.

Bek Ding came along with me for the day, and she got some wicked shots! They even wowed me.. and you all know how critical I can be. I will share these when she sends them through! In the next few days no doubt.

& Yes, I will be blogging every day for a month from today! & Yes Cathy, I totally got the idea from Jessica Claire’s blog.

  • I pulled the couple out for 5 minutes during the reception, and this is what I got.
  • So glad we went outside.

  10. Hi Michelle and Dave,
    These are such gorgeous photos. Loved them all and the one of Toni and Kel in the car is just beautiful. They look so proud and the look on Toni’s face is priceless. Well worth the wait. Can’t wait to catch up in November!!!
