When I met Kristen and Keith for their engagement session earlier this year, they were nothing but calm, cool and collected when discussing their wedding plans. A few days before the actual wedding, I received a call from Kristen’s mom and she told me that description just made her laugh because they were both running on nervous energy and anything but calm as the final days before the wedding rolled off the calendar.
I arrived at Hillbrook Club to meet Kristen and the girls and got the first surprise of the day – the power was going on and off. Eventually it managed to stay on but then the rains came. As the hour approached to move festivities inside, the sky cleared up and the outdoor ceremony remained as planned. The afternoon was perfect for it.
This groups was fun. The time I spent with them leading up to the ceremony was a lot like watching a stand-up comic go to work. Lot’s of jokes, lots of laughs, a few tears. Once the ceremony was over and the reception started, the party was on. They rocked out reception and when somebody needed a break, they just slipped outside to enjoy the cool evening and, maybe, take part in the cigar bar.
