Yesterday was the wedding of Shane and Desiree at Springlake Party Center in Lakemore. What a wonderful surprise venue right on the lake. The bride and groom couldn't look more perfect - both a bit nervous and so sweet. In front of 200 plus guests, they said their vows. It was in the upper 80s but there was no humidity so it was just about perfect.

Shane is the drummer in the Michelle Romary Band and the band played at the ceremony as well as at the reception. Michelle sang "At Last" by Etta James as a solo in the middle of the ceremony. What a treat to have live music and such an accomplished performer. When planning the music for your wedding, consider live music versus a DJ for the ceremony. It really adds a very special touch and makes weddings even more memorable.

My "assistant" (my husband, John) accompanied me so I have more photos than usual. Check out the very sweet flower girl and ring bearer. They did a great job.

Wishing much love and happiness to this special couple.
