Complete coverage of a wedding (Part 1)

The bride at home, and the ceremony

The scenes below are from Tara and Scott's April wedding. Not everything that occurred was photographed. For example, there are no reception pictures, because the bridal couple elected to have the professional photographer stop after the formals had been taken. What these pictures do show, however, is a sequence typical of most weddings, from bridal preparation to conclusion of the ceremony.

The next pictures in the sequence (Complete coverage of a wedding - Part 2)) are shots taken following the ceremony: the "formals" of the bride and groom with family members, friends, the bridal party and alone. We hope these pictures may be helpful to you in planning your own wedding and deciding what you want photographed. (Please note: These are not thumbnails that you can click on to enlarge. They are shown actual size.)
