Bernadette is so adorable. Check out what she gave us when we arrived (Nic got one, too)!

It included our Photographer Crack: Red Bull, as well as candy, snacks, tums and aspirin for worst case scenarios! I was a little worried when I saw the aspirin about exactly how big of a pain in the butt Bernadette was planning on being that day (he he)…but I wasn’t joking about it three hours later when I fell down a hill! (The things we’ll do to get The Shot.) :D

Bernadette was radiant:

A kiss for Taylor, Bernadette’s beloved flower girl.

I adore this shot of Tay looking on in awe as Bernadette got ready.

And over on the boys’ side…

I love going through the boys getting ready shots. They’re all a surprise to me most of the time, since I’m with the girls while Nic is with the guys. When I saw this one, it was like “High five, Nic!!!” The ring bearer getting his shirt buttons done up…holding a frog. So BOY! (I gotta brag that you can totally tell by Nic’s photography that he is a dad. He takes the best kid shots!)

One of the highlights of the day was the floral delivery. Bernadette’s bouquet made a leap into my favorite list FAST. It was amazing and gorgeous and smelled like heaven. All of the bouquets were exquisite. I highly recommend her florist, Dawn. This was Bernadette’s face as she saw Dawn carrying the flowers up the walk:

And this was why her smile was so big:

That was the bridal bouquet…next up, the bridesmaids bouquet (which looked FANTASTIC next to their brown dresses)!

And the mothers’ bouquets…

Before we left–one last pow-wow with Danielle, Bernadette’s awesome coordinator.
