Now through in some glamorous lighting and you get this.

Robert with his flowers. Who says flowers have to be all girly?

And then one more of Robert looking all sophisticated.

Sorry boys and girls, this man is taken. :)
My sister and friends have been asking me when I'm going to post the rest of Jennifer and Adam's wedding after I posted this sneak peek. They are in love with Jennifer's veil. Sadly, folks, it's not for sale. Jennifer's very talented mom made it. She also is the brains behind this wedding and helped coordinate it along with her good girlfriend.
It was such a lovely day and I really love so many of the wedding's details. Instead of guest favors, they donated to charity. They placed vintage family wedding photos on each table for the guests, and Jennifer wore the same necklace her mother wore to her wedding. Since both the bride and groom's fathers' birthdays are in January, Jennifer and Adam delivered special cake and pie to them as the guests sang "Happy Birthday." Instead of one cake to be sliced for the guests, each table had a cake for the guests to cut. It was a great icebreaker.
Meaningful heirloom items and thoughtful touches really elevate a wedding into a classy affair. Speaking of class, Jennifer is the epitome of sophistication and elegance, and Adam's adoration of her is so awe-inspiring. Everybody should have a special someone who looks at them the same way Adam looks at Jennifer.
So sit back, grab a cup of hot cocoa and feast your eyes on Jennifer and Adam's lovely affair. There are a ton of photos. :) Also, check out the slideshow afterward, which has even more photos.
I'd like to give a shout-out to my talented second photographer, Maggie Rife. Eleven of her photos are part of the following slideshow and a few above: slideshow.

(01.25.10 @ 08:13 PM)Dear Laurie,
THANK YOU! It was such a treat to have you and Maggie at the wedding and reception, and you did a FABULOUS job of capturing special moments throughout the day. Adam and I could not have asked for more!
Best wishes,
Jennifer
Everything fit together so perfectly! I love your style. The entire wedding was beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing. :)
(01.29.10 @ 03:16 PM)The bride reminds me of a young Judy Garland! Beautiful wedding...and beautiful pics!
(02.01.10 @ 12:48 PM)The photos reflect a lovely day!
(03.28.10 @ 10:48 AM)During yesterday's show I didn't walk any runways, but I certainly did my thang and even ate a miniature cupcake afterward: my love for sweets as strong as ever.
I met some fabulous brides and grooms at the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show in addition to some outstanding wedding vendors. I had a ball. Also you might be wondering how my scared-of-heights husband managed being on the 65th floor. He managed, albeit a bit white-knuckled. (Thank you, honey!)
So for those of you who missed it, here's my booth:
Along with my husband...
He looks so dorky in his running gear, so I had to take a couple snaps to commemorate his dorkiness. Winston, the beagle mix, also joined in the fun. My poor boys!

Don't you think my husband should sell water? He's totally the next Vanna White. :)
Oooh, I love your set-up, very nice! And your hubby and your dog are just darling. Love the modesty patch. HAHA
(01.24.10 @ 02:16 PM)I LOVED getting to meet you yesterday! You're such a sweetie! We should do lunch some time! You're husband was so funny too! I had no clue he was scared of heights but I guess that explains all the wine he had...lol! Also, love the modesty patch. I don't think I've ever seen that before but it's too funny!!!
(01.24.10 @ 04:03 PM)Love Winston's modesty patch. Such a G rated way to show off your baby boy ...
