Benfield Photography's blog has some great shots of the bride and groom throughout the day, so head on over there to see some images of them each getting ready. I'm going to start with the incredible aisle...
{click on all photos to enlarge}Ashley is stunning in this photo! She was so excited and so ready to walk down that aisle. You can see the anticipation in her face here. This aisle was designed around a concept of traditional elegance. It was seriously breathtaking!
The ceremony was beautiful! Ashley and John blended her Catholic background with his Baptist beliefs and created a one of a kind ceremony that was incredibly touching.
My favorite part: they wrote letters to each other several weeks earlier and the priest read these aloud during the Catholic portion of the ceremony.The dining room was transformed from a huge empty convention center into a gorgeous ballroom...
The walls were draped. From the ceiling we hung a gorgeous gold chandelier and ceiling treatment and we even brought in ivory carpet to make the entire space feel much warmer and more inviting.The bride & groom's grand entrance!
Who knew you could do fireworks indoors?! It was a show-stopping entrance thanks to Riverside Fireworks! One I hope to see again in the future.
After cutting their cake, Mr. & Mrs. Rausch made their way to the dance floor in the next room. As they were introduced by The Rockets and began their first dance to Michael Buble's Everything, the motorized curtain wall between them and the guests in the dining room raised creating one huge space and letting the guests join them for the party!
This is absolutely my favorite first dance photo...
The lighting is perfection and look at that dress! Stunning.The Rockets kept the dance floor packed all night long!
This is how you make a getaway! 1952 Bentley, fireworks lining the pathway and exploding overhead! Absolute perfection...
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Rausch. Your wedding day was absolutely a dream come true. I hope you were able to soak up every moment. I'm sure you had a fabulous time in paradise for your honeymoon! You both deserve it!
