The Reception
The ceremony’s over, we’ve walked up the big hill to the tune of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”, and now it’s time for the party! A note about these photos before we get started: you may have noticed that we had a whole crew of people working the wedding. Tom Fuller and his amazing group had two cameras running to cover all the action, so some of these photos may seem to jump around from subject to subject. That’s because we’ll be sharing them as they came to us, which is the chronological order they were taken. So when you’re looking at some great shots of tables and it suddenly jumps to the wedding party, or later when there’s personal shots of Grace and Brian among shots of dancing under the tent, that’s why!
That out of the way, this photo set starts with some of the calm before the storm. Grace’s Aunt Rita asked that the photographers grab some detail shots before everyone set into the tent and it was a good call. Grace, in hindsight, wanted record of everything in case she forgot when looking back on the day. And that includes the menu! We’re really happy that these little things were captured, just so we have an easier time looking back on everything.
