Wedding: Alexandra + Kevin

Alexandra and Kevin were married on October 20^th, with a ceremony and reception at the Renaissance Hotel.

Kevin is in the military, and he had plenty of his military friends there at the wedding. They were GREAT party people and really fun to be around! I loved that they made sure to honor Kevin’s service in several of the details throughout the day. Though, I have to say, my favorite had to be the sword arch after the ceremony.

Alexandra and Kevin’s Renaissance Hotel Wedding

I also loved how Kevin and Alexandra did what they could to find privacy during a wedding at a relatively public place like, The Renaissance Hotel. Their ceremony took place on the grand front staircase of the hotel, so they put up elegant draping all around the space. That way, the other hotel guests wouldn’t be able to peek in, even though it was a main area of the hotel!

We were able to get a break in the weather to run outside and get some pictures, too—and that resulted in one of my favorite images of the whole day. I got a vertical photo of the two of them kissing, when Alexandra was holding up her dress, and her face was kind of hidden. I love the color and light in the photo as well as the classic “military vibe.”

I also loved the details on Alexandra’s dress; the lace was a gorgeous look on her. And the orchid bouquet by Allison McGeary really caught my eye. The cascading orchids were exquisite. I love when my couples go for something a little different!

Thank you, Alexandra & Kevin, for asking me to be your wedding photographer. I loved being part of your day! Thanks also to Jenni for all your help being my second shooter!
