Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding – FILM (finally!)

Well, this is embarrassing… It’s been, well, months since Sylvia & Ricky’s wedding. I shot some film that day and sent it to a new lab for scanning. I had no idea that the lab would take MONTHS to get the scans back. Boo! It’s an awesome service if you’re looking to scan old stuff, and you’re not in a hurry, but it’s not so good for getting things done for clients! Good to know…

Well, the silver lining is that the film turned out great, and the scans are awesome! Take a look at a few of my favorites…

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding at the Commander’s Mansion

I’ve already told you how much I love Sylvia & Ricky, so I probably don’t need to say that again ;) But, let me tell you how hard it was to choose images for this post! I had so many favorites from this wedding, it’s ridiculous! So, here are a few of my favorite favorites – but if you want to see more, you should check out the album on Facebook and check back here in a couple days for some of the details from the day!

Sylvia was lovin’ those eyelashes!

My assistant Andrea Servidone captured this shot and I love it! Sylvia’s hand makes it perfect.

Ricky’s brother insisted he could tie a tie better than Ricky… Of course, Ricky re-tied the tie a few minutes later ;)

Reading a card from Sylvia… I LOVE his reaction!

These two are big into cards… Here’s Sylvia reading her card from Ricky :)

Ugh! Her dress was so GORGEOUS!! It was so soft and lovely, I just kept wanting to touch it – but I didn’t.

Haha! The many faces of a bride before her wedding…

My Second Shooter, Johnny Arguedas captured this great shot while the guys were waiting for us to arrive at the Commander’s Mansion.

One of my favorite First Look reactions ever! (Johnny caught Sylvia’s reaction)

There was a lot of laughter that day…

Seriously! She’s so cute!

A few portraits inside the mansion

And then a few out by the grape arbor. Andrea caught this one through the fence.

And Johnny had the brilliant idea to put them under the arbor. I was avoiding it because of the shadows, but I actually love how the shadows turned out. Here’s Johnny’s take on the moment.

Then it was off to the St. John’s Korean United Methodist Church in Lexington for the ceremony. I love how her Dad is looking at her before he walks her down the aisle! So sweet!

Johnny caught this great shot of the Bride & Groom going down the aisle

After the wedding ceremony, Sylvia & Ricky had a traditional Korean Pae Baek for their families, complete with a change of outfits, excessive heat and a piggy-back ride…

Then it was back to the Commander’s Mansion for the super fun dance party!!

Sylvia & Ricky – you’re awesome. period. :)

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding – Sneak Peak!

I shot the most wonderful wedding for one of my favorite couples last weekend! Since it was my first wedding of the season, and because I love Sylvia & Ricky so much – I performed a little experiment this week to see if it was even possible for me to edit the whole event before leaving for vacation tomorrow. Well, I got super close, but I really need to start packing now… So, here’s a little sneak peak to whet your appetite!

The Bridal Party at the Commander’s Mansion

Sylvia & Ricky :)

Sylvia’s dress was GORGEOUS!!!! Do you see that layer of gray toulle she’s got going on there? Such a cool touch!!

Under the grape arbor

And, just because Sylvia *loves* cake so much… YUM!!

Sylvia & Ricky – I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon! Sorry to tease you with a few, but hopefully it’ll get you that much more excited to see the rest when I get back from vacation! :)
