Running Deer Wedding Photographer: Molly & Rich

Molly and Rich - definitely one of my favorite weddings to date:)  Molly is one of the sweetest (and laid back) girls I've ever met, she was a dream bride to work with.  I love shooting couples when you can tell within 5 minutes of meeting them that they're just meant for each other. That's definitely the case with Molly & Rich - they were both so excited to be marrying each other, it was the cutest thing to watch them throughout the wedding day.  I couldn't even count the number of times she'd whisper "iloveyou" to Rich, and he'd immediately break out in smiles. I just loved these two!

Aside from Molly & Rich being one of the cutest couples on the planet, Molly had the most amazing & unique wedding details, so get ready - this  wedding post has detail overload.....I was in heaven!  The fabulous girls from A Garden Party did it again at the Running Deer Golf Club with their amazing floral creations:)

Here are some of my favorites from their day, and you can check out even more images from their day by viewing the SLIDESHOW!

 

 

 

You can tell Molly & her mom have a special bond, I love this shot of her mom looking as Molly first steps in her wedding dress:

 

Hellooooo gorgeous bridesmaids!

 

Here we go folks, detail overload! I loved every minute of it!

It was so fun to see some shots from her bridal session displayed at the wedding:

 

She had a wishes & advice station, where guests could leave advice for them on their 1, 5, and 10 year anniversaries:

 

These forks were used when they cut the cake, they've been in her family for over 100 years:

 

Mary & Dawn from A Garden Party wowed me yet again with their floral designs, I love these unique wood pieces they used for the wedding:

 

I loved that instead of a unity candle they had a tree planting ceremony - Molly & Rich added the dirt, then each of their parents poured some water on the tree:

 

I also love the chandelier that Mary & Dawn hung from the pergola - gorgeous!

Molly also had each guest write a note on a square piece of fabric - she's then going to make a quilt out of all the notes left by the wedding guests:

 

This was one of my favorite parts - she had all different kinds of herbs set out with their different meanings - each wedding guest made their own mixture of herbs in a little bag, and that's what was used to shower Molly & Rich with as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife for the first time:)  The spoons have also been in Molly's family for over 100 years - I'm telling you, no detail was overlooked with this wedding!

 

Molly's brother escorted her down the aisle:

 

Pronounced husband & wife!

 

Love these two!

 

Not only was the wedding amazing, but we had the most amazing, perfect light to work with after their ceremony:

 

A little story about the speed limit sign - 27 is a number that pops up all over the place with Molly & Rich - it's the date of both their birthdays, it's in Molly's license plate, her driver's license number, it's multiple family members' birthdays, AND it's the number that their wedding date (7.9.11) adds up to. She said when they booked their wedding at Running Deer, and saw this speed limit sign with a random number like 27 on it, they were both floored and knew they picked the right location:)  Seriously, when have you ever seen a speed limit of 27? So crazy:)

 

This is one of my favorites - Molly, you look gorgeous:)

 

Loved this image that Cait (my fab second shooter) grabbed:

 

And a sparkler exit to top off the night? Perfection:)

Thanks Molly & Rich, I hope you're enjoying your fabulous honeymoon!
