Mary and Cory
this is the only picture I have so you will have to take my word for it that it was a beautiful wedding (well, minus the 2000 wasps).

who are we kidding,
me take one picture
not likely
especially when the people are gorgeous,
the location is breathtaking and
the day was beautiful.
It was actually closer to over 350+ pictures by time we were rained out (after dinner, around 9ish). I narrowed it down but even at that had a very hard time picking out a few my favourites.
Shelby, Kaeden and Joel walking down to the ceremony (at this point I was already in love with the location and ready to pitch a tent and never leave)
Mary's sister is a very talented lady. She made the cake, the little girls flower/fairy dresses and the Bride's gown. This cake by the way wasn't only beautiful, it also tasted incredible.
Mary and Cory's little girl Riley (almost 2 years old)
~ a few of the groomsmen.
~ the wedding party danced down the aisle to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
~ the groom (Cory) and his brother (Chad)
~ one of my favorite photos, and maybe it is because it captures my perception of Chad's personality in one single frame.
Many of these photos, especially the candid ones, were taken with my zoom lens which I like to do as you are able to capture natural photos, full of personality. Even though I must admit I felt a little paparazzi-ish. I also had the luxury of not having to stress about getting certain pictures as that was the official photographer's job, I just got to wander around and snap whatever caught my fancy.
Chad's wife (Molly) and the bride.
a few of Riley, she was adorable, quiet and reserved and I think a little tired of the lady following her around with the camera.
the bridesmaids who all chose their own dresses, they were just asked to keep them in the wedding colours of green and/or orange.
Scott and Kaeden
my bother-in-law Pete
(ha ha. was a typo but now I think I will keep it as my new nickname for him)
was a big fan of being able to have a beer during the cermony.
I have so many pictures I would have liked to post but you would have been here for hours scrolling through them!
It is always such fun to get together with our US family (the groom is Scott's second cousin, Sharon the groom's mom, is Scott's cousin - I think I have that right, Scott has a very large family compared to my extended family of 13 so it is sometimes a challenge to figure out who relates to who and how).
