A Pretty House

I think this house is so pretty and charming. The all-white background is divine and I love the little hints of blue and pink and red and green.

It Has Potential

This little old fisherman's cottage {bottom image} is one I've often admired on my morning walks over at Straddie. I think this house has so much potential and when you look at the top image you might possibly agree with me?!

Jennette and Patrick at the Glen Manor Part 2

Posted by Melissa:



Off to second beach for some photos! There were so many people there to see the huge waves we were getting from Hurricane Bill. Luckily I was able to put people in spots that were beach goer free! Looks like we have the beach to ourselves!










the ladies...






Bouquet throwing is my new favorite thing right now.









The whole gang










Love it! But don't go too far guys! Those waves are crazy!










Almost got them! Thankfully they are quick on their feet!








Patrick and Jennette were fast with the posing. They kept me on my toes!








Second beach is also referred to as Surfer's Beach... Hence the surf board...










Here's Patrick writing "PB + J" in the sand! I love that! They should have had Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches for dinner at the reception! Maybe not...







So cute!









40 Steps at the Cliffwalk. Another crowded spot but we were able to work around the people.







Romantical! (Spell check says this isn't a word, but it so is!)







How cute are they?






We were all over the place! It's fun to get some variety in the photos!






Another one of Jennette and Patrick's poses! I didn't have to direct them at all!







Ooooh! They are good models!












Another beautiful creation from Mark Soliday







I love Glen Manor! So many cool photo ops...







Thankfully we had four flower girls to hold Jennette's dress on the way back from the bridge. Every bride needs this sort of service.






Let's not forget our ring bearer, RJ! Man, he is cute!







First Dance.






There were some very heartfelt toasts given about these two. I love this part of the evening. It can be very emotional. I've been known to tear up during a toast or two.






Glen Manor and blue light! Two great tastes that go great together!







Oooohhh! Jennette in the spotlights with that amazing veil!














Patrick was twirling Jennette around all over the place! It was adorable. They were having the best time.






I guess these guys thought someone should pick up Patrick as well!








Classic Glen

Jennette and Patrick at the Glen Manor Part 1

Posted By Melissa:



It was a beautiful day for Patrick and Jennette's wedding. Hurricane Bill didn't rain on us so I was SO happy!
Here is Jennette's amazing dress by Melissa Sweet! Simple and elegant.










Love these shoes!







I love the wallpaper in the bathroom! You never know where you are going to find the awesome bouquet spot! Paul from Broadway Florist did the flowers.






Finishing touches.





While I was with the ladies, Lisa was taking some shots of the guys getting ready.







Here's our hansome groom, Patrick.







Patrick gave Jennette a touching card with a gorgeous present.







He got her a string of pearls with a matching bracelet! Way to go, Patrick! Good job!







How beautiful is this veil? It was actually worn by Jennette's mother when she married her Dad.







Here we are on the roof of the Newport Beach Hotel and Suites. If you are looking for a great spot for you and your guests to stay on the big day check it out! I love this roof!








For a small space it had some great spots for photos!







Bouquets in a row.







Here are two of the flowergirls. They were relentless passing out these programs. They were giving them to all the guests, the limo drivers, and really anyone walking by the church.







St Mary's in Bristol is such a beautiful church.







Here's our little champion program girl!









Going to the chapel...






Here's our bridesmaids/door guards. They made sure no one came through these doors once Jennette was out of the limo.







Jennette tucked away so Patrick doesn't get a glimpse of her until the big moment.















Watching the ceremony it was easy to tell that Patrick is madly in love with his bride. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Lisa got this great shot.







Lisa also took this one with the fish eye lens! Fun!







My competition. These guys were kneeling next to me snapping photos in the aisle throughout the entire ceremony. Pretty cute!







Married!!!







YEAH! This is totally Patrick and Jennette's move!







Mr and Mrs Briliant (oh, I'm not making that up! Don't you wish that was your last name?)







Smoochin' in the Rolls!


Stay tuned for more "Brilliant Photos" in Part 2!
