Merrimack Valley Golf Club Wedding :: Stacy + John (Part II)

And we're back at Merrimack Valley Golf Club for Stacy & John's wedding ceremony pictures. If you missed part I you can catch up **here**. I love the little look between Stacy and her dad before they walked down the aisle and John's expression. Stacy and John also wrote their own vows and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.


Stacy and John's friends and family were so ridiculously happy for the newlyweds they nearly squeezed them to death:

Stacy and John then got to enjoy cocktail hour, John couldn't resist kissing his wife :) before they went out to mingle with their guests with the lounge and the deck with views over the golf course:

This was the first wedding I've photographed at Merrimack Valley Golf Club and I'll be back there in December (Hey Heather & Justin!) The Equinox ballroom is a really great wedding venue space as it's essentially a blank canvas. There is no crazy pattern carpet or brightly colored drapes so it works with all color themes.

Stacy's sister Kaitlin incorporated one of the pictures we took at the engagement session into a guest sign-in frame:

Stacy and John both work in the restaurant industry and they're big wine buffs so they had a wine theme for their tables

For the entrances, Stacy and John's friends formed a human tunnel for them to run through before they did their first dance as husband and wife:

Happy and REALLY emotional toasts:

Stacy danced with her dad and then pulled in her sister Kaitlin and the three of them danced in the biggest hug-dance I've ever seen. John danced with his Mom with lots of hugs and smiles :)

We snuck out for literally 60 seconds of nightime pictures and then the dancefloor was well and truly opened!!!  

I'll leave you with one last picture of Stacy and John holding on tight to one another through the night. Oh you guys....! How much fun was that? I am SO happy you chose me as your wedding photographer and I got to witness and document how ridiculously perfect you are as a couple. It was an honor! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, health, happiness, Amarone wine and Jimmy Choos (the last item is for Stacy only).
