So, I have been wanting to post a few pics from this VERY special wedding since...ummm...October. So I am a bit behind to say the least, but better late than never, right? Rachael has been one of my best friends since she moved here from West Lafayette, Indiana back in 7th grade and sat across from me in Mrs. Merrick's homeroom at Walnut Springs.
The newly wed Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gummersbach met a couple years ago at a party and tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony up in Cleveland. Although I wasn't the "official" photographer of the day, I was extremely honored to be in the bridal party. This didn't, however, keep me from taking SOME pictures though...not bringing my camera at one of my best friend's wedding would be like cutting off my arm! So anyhow, here are a few fun pics from that gorgeous fall day in early October.
Ok, without further ado—here are some pics of the stunning bride getting dolled up for the big day:
What a gorgeous bride!
and a very cool cake — that's spun sugar draped around it!
Rachael and Joe broke it down to their own choreographed first dance So fun!
And the Jacobs family bustin' a move! I think (maybe to "We Are Family")
The wedding and reception were both held at Sammy's Manakiki Ballroom and Courtyard in Willoughby Hills. No detail was overlooked and everyone had an AWESOME time. Nice work to Valarie Kirkbride of Kirkbride's Wedding Planning and Design for helping pull together an amazing day! I wish I had some pictures from the outdoor ceremony, but instead I was up on the altar this time. Kinda fun being on the other side of things for a change! Thanks Rach and Joe for having me a big part of your day—love you both!!
