kiersten & matt 10.31.09

Kiersten & Matt held their ceremony at First Presbyterian Church in Beaver. Their reception was held at Rolling Acres. Kiersten's gown was a real showstopper. I loved how she described it..."Business up front, with a party in the back." When she turned around, the gown just flowed down in cascades. Gorgeous. It went great with her theme...peacock feathers. Her bouquet was just breathtaking.

Another trend I am beginning to see at receptions is the candy bar. Western Pennsylvania is known for having the infamous "cookie table." However, some brides are choosing to switch this tradition with candy instead. My daughters REALLY love this switch! First thing they always ask me is if I have any treats for them when I come home from a wedding. Boy, were they excited when I gave them their bag of candy.

I have never seen cream colored peacock feathers. Truly unique.

It was a bit chilly taking photos outside at the end of October. You would never know it based on how happy Kiersten looks. We found some overgrown weeds and had some fun taking photos.

Of course, I had to use gumballs to showcase the rings.
