Ernest (or, “The Shahbaz” as he is better known in this house) is one of our “old Air Force friends.”\u00a0 So when we heard he was getting married (to the beautiful Kim we’d met over sushi right before we left Langley and moved to Colorado) we knew we absolutely had to be there.\u00a0 And when they asked us to photograph it, we were so honored!<\/p>\n

Their wedding was in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware–where Ernest and Kim got engaged!\u00a0 We took some time before the ceremony for portraits and got to capture The Shahbaz at his most James Bond–totally rocking the classic tux.\u00a0 Kim was looking every bit the graceful elegant dancer she is in a totally stunning dress and birdcage veil.\u00a0 They made our job easy<\/em>!\u00a0 So easy, in fact, that this sneak peek is a bit over the top–we’ve got over 30 pictures to share!<\/p>\n

Kim’s dress had the most amazing skirt:<\/p>\n

Kim is so graceful and elegant–she looks like she walked out of a Grace Kelly movie!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer03\"<\/p>\n

I saw this spot on our way back and we waited for just a bit of sunshine that would pop them from the background.\u00a0 It wasn’t the full burst that I was hoping for, but it will do!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer04\"<\/p>\n

Nic’s shot on the left, my version on the right…<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer06\"<\/p>\n

Another one cause I can’t help myself–beaches are SO DARN COOL!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer07\"<\/p>\n

One of my favorites from the day:<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer08\"<\/p>\n

Then the sun poked out from behind the clouds and we got to go for more drama.\u00a0 I love the way they posed so easily–we’ve got to get more couples that dance!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer09\"<\/p>\n

The wedding ceremony was beautiful and held at the Henlopen Hotel.<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer10\"<\/p>\n

After the ceremony we went outside to the beach for a pebble toss.\u00a0 Kim had the best throw!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer13\"<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer14\"<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer15\"<\/p>\n

Remember how I mentioned that Ernest and Kim are dancers?\u00a0 Kim teaches dance, and Ernest has taught in the past…so when it came to the first dance, they told us that they hadn’t prepared anything because what they would want to do would go ALL OUT.\u00a0 So for the first dance they were just going to go up and have fun–nothing planned.\u00a0 Of course, their “nothing planned” was still straight out of Dancing with the Stars.\u00a0 Nic and I teased them that they were virtually impossible to photograph.\u00a0 With a normal couple, we get our composition sorted out and then just wait until the couple rotates into view.\u00a0 With Ernest and Kim, all bets were off.\u00a0 We had no idea where they were going to go next!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer16\"<\/p>\n

One of the best parts of being a guest\/photographer at the wedding (other than the drinking and dancing) was our great angle on the action!\u00a0 Our table couldn’t have been in a more perfect spot for us to catch candids and toast shots throughout the night without being in the way of any guests!\u00a0 (Plus getting to sit down and take photos is pretty darn awesome.)\u00a0 :P<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer18\"<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer19\"<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer20\"<\/p>\n

The mother\/son dance:<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer23\"<\/p>\n

The reception was AWESOME.\u00a0 Mostly because Kim and Ernest’s friends and family are just as fun as they are:<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer22\"<\/p>\n

Our fellow Langley friends Alex and Karen, who GRACIOUSLY watched Will during portraits and the ceremony so Nic and I could both shoot.\u00a0 We love them.\u00a0 As does Will, who has mentioned at least twice a day since coming home “I go see Mr Alex?”<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer17\"<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes…we had the BEST time at this wedding.\u00a0 We had the best food, the best company, the best dancing, and the best models for some seriously pretty wedding photos!\u00a0 Kim and Ernest, thank you so much for being such fantastic hosts.\u00a0 It was great trip!<\/p>\n

Ernest shows off his cufflinks for the camera…<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer26\"<\/p>\n

Nic helps Will with a critical “sand in shoe” issue:<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer29\"<\/p>\n

Will thanks Alex for watching him…<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer21\"<\/p>\n

Me and Willie get our dancin shoes on…<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer28\"<\/p>\n

Will’s two favorite moves:\u00a0 wiggling all limbs and then simply running laps around the dance floor:<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer27\"<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer30\"<\/p>\n

Nic and Will dancing…<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographer31\"<\/p>\n

And a last one to sum up just how the evening went for Will by the end.\u00a0 He was SO EXHAUSTED but just kept going.\u00a0 He refused to fall asleep and miss any fun until we got back to the hotel and all tucked in bed:<\/p>\n
