Angie and Bill :: Waterfront Place Hotel Morgantown

It’s easy to say that there is a lot of love at any wedding, but for Angie and Bill, that statement can’t be more true.  I felt SO much love and closeness — between the couple, the families, friends, and all guests.  That close-knit feeling and loving atmosphere was really something special.  I think I am already missing the West Virginia hospitality!

It was also great fun second-shooting for Michelle Waters. I was utterly amazed at how she stayed refreshed and energized enough to make the two hour drive home even after a twelve hour wedding!  She’s sensational as usual, and her enthusiasm rubs off on everyone she meets.

We started the day early to take some getting ready shots:

Bill had to do his part too:

This cute angel kept popping up in front of my lens — she loved to have her pictures taken, and I was too happy to oblige:

The ceremony was held in the cozy St. John University Parish on the West Virginia University campus where Angie and Bill first met:

Of course, they were equally great at showing their romantic selves!

The reception was held at the Waterfront Place Hotel where most of the wedding guests stayed, and that allowed them to party to their hearts content. (We heard later that the hotel ran out of liquor that night.  =p )

It’s pretty neat to dress up the dance floor with a monogram gobo projection:

And how about sparklers for the grand exit? I absolutely loved the experience!

Thank again Michelle, Angie, and Bill for allowing me to take part in this beautiful day! =)
