Pretty soon, I will be posting a mega epic post of photos from Kat and Thomas’s wedding weekend. But first, here are some of the Polaroid/Impossible Project photos I took of all the partying that went on!
First, there was the rehearsal dinner Saturday night at Cafe Keough, located in downtown Memphis
The groom and bride to be!

Two of Thomas and Kat’s nieces (from Thomas’s side of the fam.) The kids were fascinated with the Polaroids!

The next morning, the wedding itself was at Kat and Thomas’s church, St. John’s Episcopal. The ceremony took place during the Sunday morning service. After the service, there was a champagne reception in the church fellowship hall.

The second reception was at Felicia Suzanne’s downtown – it was a parrrrrtttyyyy!

I’m really glad I took along an instant camera to Kat and Thomas’s wedding festivities. The photos went down a storm*! I really CANNOT wait to share the non-instant photos and more details with everyone!

Bridal portraits of Alison before the wedding
The wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL. And actually probably the tastiest wedding cake I’ve ever had.
Groom’s cake – Josh is something of an outdoorsman – to put it mildly! And Alison was his “catch of a lifetime.”
Alison’s friend made this keepsake for the newlyweds, in lieu of a guest book. The guests put their thumbprints and signed their names on the branches.
Alison’s son Caleb was the ring bearer
Alison lost her father in 2008, so her older son James walked her down the aisle. It was the CUTEST thing. The minister asked who gave Alison away for marriage, and James said, “My brother and I do.”
Kristi, Alison’s life-long best friend came up from Texas to be a bridesmaid (and to do Alison’s hair and make-up!)
Josh’s mom
Alison, Josh, and the boys did something called a “sand ceremony” to symbolize the blending of their new family.
So cute. Caleb was hanging onto every word during the ceremony.

The kiss!
Starting their new life together, hand in hand
I wonder if Josh was changing his Facebook relationship status to “married” as soon as the ceremony was over?
Amelia, the flower girl. Daughter of Alison’s sister Cheree (also known as Cheree’s “mini me” – they’re identical!)
Josh’s step-dad was being a bit of a cutup, as you can see

Alison’s bridesmaids were Krisit, Samantha, and her sister Cheree
We obviously ended up doing a lot of goofing off while doing wedding party portraits. It had to be done.
