Renee & Todd - The Celebration of Their Marriage!

The Fantastic Lisa Scherer and I embraced capturing the details, the moments, and the memories of this positively joyful celebration . . .

Todd & Renee are both chefs at Mazara Bistro in Clayton

(he's the Executive Chef and she's the Pastry Chef).  That being said,

Todd was particularly excited about the food details for the evening!!!

Without a doubt, the most beautiful cake

I have ever seen in person.

Extraordinary attention to detail!!

This was hands-down, the sweetest Mother-Son Dance

I have ever seen, and it brought both Lisa & I to tears :)

Renee & Todd,

I was honored that you chose me to capture your day - it was

one of the greatest weddings I have had to date :)

You are both incredibly kind & thoughtful, and

I wish you the absolute best of everything in your life together!

Hugs, Kelly

I'm positively crazy about these shots, that me and the Amazing Lisa Scherer, captured of Todd & Renee and their family at Longview Park!  What a beautiful couple, what a fantastic family, and what a stunning backdrop!!!!!

I have never seen a couple look soooooo lovingly at each other

soooooo many times.

Renee looking at her husband - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & PRICELESS!!!!

I can't even handle how

storybook-like they are!!!!

How lucky is Renee to have 4 new Bro-In-Laws?!?!?

What an amazing family to be a part of :)

I mean really - does it get any more amazing than that?  :):):):):)

Check back in a few days for a glimpse into the magic

of their celebration of their marriage!

Renee & Todd - The Prelude & The Nuptials

You probably recognize Renee & Todd from my Bro-in-law's wedding last month, because Todd was the Best Man, and both Todd and Renee (both chefs) created the amazing wedding cake for that event.  Needless to say, I was positively happy, honored, and excited that they chose me to capture the details of their wedding day on July 17th.

I must also give them kudos for being one of the sweetest and most thoughtful couple's I have shot to date.  They were constantly checking on me & Lisa (my wonderfully awesome second shooter), making sure we were enjoying the festivities, and made us feel as welcome as their guests.  I was so lucky to be a part of this event, and am soooooo crazy happy with so many of the moments we were able to witness and capture.   

Enjoy the fantasticness of their day  . . .

Renee was so stunning and is such a sweet & thoughtful person :):):):):)

Yes, Corinne (Todd & Renee's niece) is a positively, irresistibly precious flower girl.

I could not stop directing my camera toward her!!!! LOL

Corinne and her little friend.

More of Renee's absolute gorgeousness!!!!

The very sweet and handsome groom :)

Corinne's Brother Donovan, the Ring Bearer, clearly reflecting

on his upcoming responsibilities!

Todd's parents and the Hosts of the Festivities

I love this thoughtful smile on Todd's face, captured seconds before

Renee came down the isle.

Todd's brother Scott was the officiant, and added to

the magic of their day.

I'm so lucky to have my pal & second shooter Lisa's perspective & view!

Mr. & Mrs. Todd Bale!!!!

Be sure to check back for sneak peaks at the rest

of the day's fantasticness - coming soon!!!!!
