Falkirk Estate and Country Club Wedding Photography: Keith and Marissa!

Keith and Marissa got married!  Yes, Keith… Keith Keith… Small Moments Studios Keith.  I’ve known Keith since elementary school, so it was especially great to be a part of his big day.  These past 8 years I’ve been involved with hundreds of weddings, first as a wedding officiant, then as a photographer.  This wedding was fun because I was able to write the ceremony and have it performed by my father (who is a great wedding officiant as well).  Plus I got to be a part of shooting the day… but the Small Moments Studios crew was doing most of the heavy lifting, as I was also attending this wedding with my wife and kids.  Nick, Steve and Brian handled a lot of the work, though I was shooting throughout the day.  And Keith, of course, was simply enjoying his day.

The wedding took place at our favorite venue, The Falkirk Estate and Country Club… and Marissa’s make up was done by one of our favorite makeup artists around… Christine from Color Make-up Studio.  She is always awesome, very cool and always keeps everyone beautiful and on time.  She is highly recommended by us because she always leaves brides looking natural and fabulous… bringing out your natural beauty and that shows in all the images for the day.

So the day went great, 100%.  The ceremony went very nicely, and Keith and Marissa did a great job of writing their vows… very personal and touching.  And of course the ceremony I wrote was pretty good, if I do say so myself.  We managed to get some subtle references to The Blues Brothers and The Princess Bride in ceremony, which made me happy, and made both Keith and Marissa smile.  We had a lot of fun all day long, and I even got up and gave a speech.  On top of all that I got to boogie down with my wife and kids, and Keith got to boogie down with his wife for the first time.  Plus, Steve and I got our “Kid ‘n’ Play” dance goin’ on… so it was all good.  And of course, we had the Spotlight photobooth rockin’ the party as well.

Check the facebook page, as we’ll be adding some more images there that don’t make this blog post.  Meanwhile, enjoy!  And I’m sure I speak for all of our brides and grooms when I say “Congratulations to Keith and Marissa!”

Enjoy!
