Susan and Scott’s wedding day!
Susan and Scott’s wedding was at Grace-St. Luke’s in Memphis. As Susan showed me around the church and the hall where their reception would be held, I asked her what she wanted from her wedding photos. Her reply was “Impressions of the day.” So impressions of the day were what I tried to deliver!

While the guest list was small, making the wedding an intimate affair, Grace-St. Luke’s is a rather large church. The wedding guests were allowed to sit in the choir seats in the chancel (area around the alter) instead of the pews in the nave. I thought that was really awesome! Having a wedding in a large, beautiful space but with the feel of a smaller chapel with your friends and loved ones really close to you during the ceremony!
The ceremony
Yay! Married!
The OBVIOUSLY happy couple
Getting the marriage license paperwork taken care of has never been so cute! Look at Susan!

Photos with friends
I hope I gave Susan and Scott “impressions” of their wedding day with these photos. I also hope that everyone can see how truly happy everyone involved in the day was – from the bride and groom, to their good friends and family who were in attendance. Happy faces, all around! Congratulations, Susan and Scott!
