anastasia and pedro ~ wedding

Atlanta couple Anastasia and Pedro's wedding was a truly joyous event! Even the rain had to take a back seat to the celebration. The morning wedding (a first for us) was held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church with the reception following at the Greenville Hilton. Stacey (as her friends and family calls her) was a beautiful bride. I was so happy to be able to document her getting ready photos. Pete (as his friends and family calls him) was the perfect groom. What I loved about this wedding was that there was so much love and devotion. The expression on Pete's face when he first caught a glimpse of Stacey was priceless. I saw true joy and excitement. One of the funniest and most perfect moments of this wedding was when Pete and his Mom were sharing the "Mother Son" dance to the tune of Boys II Men's classic "Mama". All of a sudden there was the sound of a male choir singing the chorus of the song. Low and behold, all six groomsmen were standing at the head table serenading Pete and his Mom. It was so funny, yet so perfect! I was able to move around a get a great shot of the dance with the "singers" in the background. It was one of those moments I'll never forget and one of my favorite images!

Check out the slideshow of some of the images below. The song is the song Stacey walked down the isle to. If you'd like to see it full size click here! I'll post some of my favorites from the wedding in the next few days. Until next time, be blessed and be thankful.
