GEORGE + SANTANA

hats and jerseys and fun oh my!

What a fun group of people! I always get a little nervous with big bridal parties just because it's a lot of people to manage. This group made it a blast. Santana + George did a great job at adding super fun elements to their day.


We started the day at the Bismarck Hotel to prep and prepare. I loved the color pallet of the wedding. The ladies had personalized hats which I thought were so cool and matched the vibe perfectly.


George did not want to see his bride before the aisle so we got to do some girl only and guy only shots at Sertoma Park. The park had a beautiful green backdrop for the bridal party. Once at the ceremony location, Santana shared special moments with her father, brother and George. George and Santana read letters to each other and prayed together. It was an honor to witness this moment and capture it for them. George was so excited to finally see his bride walking down the aisle.


Once the formal photos were done, the bridal party hopped on a limousine bus and we cruised to Legion Park. We had fun taking photos of the hats and the guys had football jerseys to wear. We got a few moments of them playing football.


At the reception, each bridal party member entered during the 'starting lineups'. We heard some great speeches from the parents, two best men, and two matrons of honor. Before the dance started, the Bride + Groom cut their PB+J sandwich which of course had half and half jelly. One side is strawberry and one side is grape so the bride and groom could have their favorite. Guests came ready to dance the night away. There was even a special appearance from a dinosaur!


Overall, the day was super busy and filled with so many special moments. It was an honor to be part of it!
