Aw, receptions; the happiest parties ever.

Carolyn and Sean at their head table.

Toasts

The first dance. I love how they constantly cuddle.

Cake! I love Carolyn's hand, shes so excited.

They were not nice...

... at all ...

...But then later they were.

the bouquet didn't go too far.

But sister still got it!

Love this. 

Score!

Yeah. They're dating.

Double up!

... and dance

Exit to bubbles! (my personal favorite) 

Oh Carolyn and Sean, you two are so fabulous. Thank you so much for choosing us to photograph your wedding. It was beautiful and you two are wonderful.

And now for my favorite part of weddings: The Romantics (couple portraits) and the Details!

Look at the lace on her neckline! So delicate, so beautiful.

Blake captured an image like this during Carolyn and Sean's Engagement session. That is just a Kick Ay watch, isn't it?

LOVE this. 

... and this too.

Carolyn's smile makes my heart happy.

Towards the end of the evening, Carolyn gave Sean this uniquely spectacular little pillow. Read its. Its wonderful.

Rings! 

This is their set up at the Newland Barn. Just for the record, I ADORE the long, communal tables for outside receptions.

Carolyn hand stitched all of these antique doilies together for her table runners. 

Best. Wedding Favor. Ever.

A thank you card and CD of love songs! Bonus: the CDs are made to look like Vinyl!
Sean and Carolyn's DJ played real Vinyl all night long. :D

Heart stamps and chalk board stickers can make a huge difference in the cuteness arena. 

Carolyn's family designed and created this entire, pre dinner spread.

Dinner was amazing. Have you ever had a fried chicken and mashed potato burger? I have. 

Love Birds!

I am totally digging this butter cream, dirty frost cake. Simple and perfect.

DJ was amazing.

AMAZING!
