our awesome bride, dominique, chose the most meaningful location possible for getting ready, her childhood home in somers point. it is so very meaningful for two reasons….1. she grow up there, 2. it is where she experienced her first kiss while playing the classic game of spin the bottle in grade school. so who was the lucky guy?? her now husband todd! talk about foreshadowing! so we had the pleasure of hanging out at this home sweet home during the getting ready process before we headed over to the ceremony at the grace lutheran church in somers point. after dominique+todd said ‘i do’, we ventured over to the mays landing country club. during the 15 minute drive over to the club, a torrential downpour of rain was added to the day. it stayed through the first portion of picture time and then the weather gods brought the sunshine back out. we rocked with the rain for the short time it lasted by hiding out under umbrellas while the bridal party was covered under an awning. all smiles from the bride+groom and bridal party who did not let it phase them one bit. todd, being an amazing baseball player, totally knows how to go with the flow and the unexpected. dominique continued to glow with all smiles. when the rain stopped, pictures continued on the green where the party began. first it started off with the flower girl and ring bearer stealing the flags from the course and charging around the green (too funny). then a reenactment of the jump in the movie ‘dirty dancing’ was attempted by the bridal party members followed by the groomsmen hanging out with a cardboard cut out of one of todd’s best friend who could not make the wedding because he is overseas serving our country. that was all just the kick of to the reception that was truly an epic rock-n-roll party.
todd+dominique, you two are beyond fun and truly the life of the party! we had a killer time hanging out with you both again. your engagement shoot back in march was a blast and your wedding rocked! we had too much fun and laughed the entire night. thanks so much for showing us a good time. please invite us to your next party (:
enjoy.
