Mallory and Christian held their wedding at Bethany College…. their alma mater!  They were married in Commencement Hall and had their reception out back, under a giant white tent.

Annie and David had a beautiful rainy outdoor late afternoon wedding ceremony in May at the National Aviary.  The sprinkling of rain didn’t dampen Annie and David’s spirits … in fact, they didn’t care one bit!  They decided to do a first look at Point State Park, so we got all of the portraiture out of the way before the ceremony and reception (and the rain!).

We started the day at the Wyndham Grand Hotel, which made our commute to Point State Park pretty non-existent!…

David got dressed in a room right across the hallway from Annie…

Believe it or not, finding a semi-private place in Point State Park for their first look wasn’t hard at all!

Annie crafted her own bouquet!  Doesn’t she make a lovely bride?!

After portraits, we headed over to the Aviary to get ready for the ceremony.

David and Annie had some special choreography planned for their walk down the aisle.  Their mothers accompanied them, and they both walked around the perimeter of where their guests were seated, and met under the chuppah at the top of the aisle.  It was pretty cool idea!
