Waiting for the ceremony to begin, surrounded by stuffed wildlife! Truly a unique experience at a wedding.
The ceremony itself was in the amphitheater at Lichterman.

I think someone’s just catching a glimpse of his bride for the first time!

We went down to a wooded area by the lake to take portraits of the wedding party.

While the guests were having “cocktail hour,” the three of us went down to a gazebo to capture some images of just Jennifer and Chris…
After we finished taking portraits of everyone, it was time to head to the reception! The reception was held in the Davidson Special Event Pavilion on the nature center’s grounds. Because the wedding took place mid-morning, the reception featured brunch foods.
