Emily and Ryan's Wedding on Saturday, June 24, 2006
We drove through some pretty heavy rain to get to Clover Forest Plantation on Saturday. Everyone wants blue skies for their wedding but rain offers some creative opportunities and we were up for the challenge.
While it did rain for just a few minutes during the ceremony and throughout the evening, Emily and Ryan are so much fun that a little bit of rain wasn't about to dampen their spirits or anyone elses. There was plenty of sun for the cocktail hour underneath the grand magnolia trees in back of the house and a lively party continued underneath the tent. To find their seats, guest picked up cards with their names under a pink and brown ribbon and had to match their ribbon to the ribbon tied to their table's flower arrangement. Guests enjoyed the hunt as they checked out each flower arrangement in search of their table. In addition, Emily and Ryan compiled a cookbook of recipies by friends and family for guests to take with them, a unique and collaborative favor that everyone there had a hand in creating. I'm sad that I forgot to pick up an extra copy for myself, Sam will concur that I could use it!
It feels like we have known the Drudge family for much longer than we actually have, it was a pleasure to shoot for them on Saturday and we're almost a little sad its over. Hopefully Archie will still give us a call once and awhile just to say hi.
