11.04.2006: Meredith and Alberto

Ceremony: The Courtyard
Reception: The Backyard
This past Saturday we attended our first house wedding!! I came to the grounds of the house, while it was still in disarray but in an hour or so, Lee and his team at Le Jardiniere florist completely transformed the charming home to a very elegant wedding venue. We had just shot their engagement session the week before so I was really looking forward to their wedding since they had such naturalness with the camera. The day started with massages, mimosas and champagne. The bride, of course, looked absolutely stunning in her beautiful lace wedding gown by Priscilla. The groom picked her up after the ceremony and carried the bride over the threshold (a first for Pink Posh). And by the end of the night, after love songs serenades, cake pulls, a birthday party in the midst, and some James Brown and Marvin Gaye...wait, no Village People? I have to admit that I am sad they were unrepresented on Saturday night - but the police did make a special appearance that night (no, not the guy who dressed up as a police in the band)...we are talking HPD. That, ladies and gentlemen is the mark of a great house wedding.
