25 Sep Kate & Chris {Mingo Point} Part one: Rehersal, Golf, Spa
There is SO.MUCH.MORE. to a wedding than simply a ceremony and a reception; there are parties, showers, a rehearsal dinner, copious amounts of planning and tons of fun before the BIG DAY. This weekend we are placing a spotlight on a whole wedding. Our friends over at Dreamland Images spent the entire wedding weekend with Kate and Chris. The couple kicked off the celebration with a rehearsal dinner at Mingo Point. And then on their way to wedded bliss, Chris and the boys enjoyed a rousing round of golf and the girls headed to the spa at The Sanctuary.
It is the moments at a rehearsal dinner that I truly love, the moments that only a photographer can capture…not a posed group but instead, the group as they clamor together in celebration. I love the relaxation, the girls giggling, the boys chatting and the sweet stolen moments. I often swoon at the details, but rehearsal dinners are a true favorite of mine. My heart goes pitter patter when a couple has a professional photographer to capture the event. The bride and groom have time with their guests before the craziness of the big day that is irreplaceable. It is a time filled with boisterous laughter and joyful reflection during toasts. A time for hugs, well wishes and advice for the soon to be married couple from marital veterans.
Come back tomorrow to see the second half of this posh affair!
