Wedding recap: photo session

Asking my friend Erica to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She did a spectacular job and we love all the photos she captured. As I've said before, we bought her a ticket to Michigan from California (where she moved several months before the wedding), and that was it! $375 and done. Erica had just started Photography by Arika Reed, and we were excited to be her first official wedding. And let me tell you, she worked her ass off! Even when we needed to sit down and take a break, she was darting around with her camera. She caught so many moments that I didn't even know she was catching! Truly, Erica, you were awesome.

You should head over to her website, and check out the blog post dedicated to our wedding. And if you want to see the whole online gallery, let me know and I'll get you the password.

I've shown off her photos all throughout the recapping of the wedding, but I also wanted to share some of my favorites. The first are from the time she spent with just me and Mike doing the "couple" photos.

First of all, this one is going on the wall (yes I know I showed it already):



Please look at how much this man loves me:



Man we're cute!





This is from when Mike and I were taking a moment to soak it all in. She caught us:



And come on, just aww!



LOVE this one, too:



And now, here are some of my favorite "detail" shots:









And now a few other photos I'm crazy about...

This is my little Scarlet before she was born:



My little brother Cam is a chatty one!



My Brady Boy:



Me with mom and the sisters:



And here are some of Mike, one with his bro, and one of him being so cute!



Ok really, you should just go check them all out over here.
