Yes, people are still having weddings this late in the season. Kelly and JD had an awesome wedding and reception at the Decatur Courthouse on a nice cool December night. I met Kelly and her close friends in the bridal suite of the courthouse basement. She seemed to be running the show and organizing everything while applying makeup and her beautiful wedding gown. I told her to relax and let her sisters worry about the details. Along with her stunning dress, she added black ribbons and bow to her waistline, and then added a new-vintage necklace set that really tied the black and white look together. JD and his Brother ,who was also the officiant, were dressed is classic black tuxes, with new black and white Nikes, a great touch.
A short but sweet wedding ceremony followed soon after, in the huge marble room of the courthouse. During the cocktail hour Kelly and JD wanted to spend the full hour taking pictures of just the two of them. Myself and my best buddy Wade Collins headed outside to get some cool pictures around the Decatur square with some fine results. Back inside, the dinner and dancing began, with the traditional first dance followed by the father/ daughter and mother/ son dances at the same time. JD’s family is Columbian so the music was almost all latin themed, full of high energy and rhythm. Plenty of Salsa dancing, made all the wedding guest look like pro dancers.
Thanks you Kelly and JD for a fantastic night of wedding fun. And an extra special thanks to Wade Collins for shooting with me to capture and awesome event.
