Chateau Polonez Wedding: Jenn & Clay

On September 29th, 2012, Jenn and Clay said goodbye to eleven years of dating and hello to a new life as husband and wife. Dylan, Kaley and I were lucky enough to be there that day. At the Chateau Polonez (which I liken to a Disney movie lover’s castle). Documenting a new beginning. And sharing in the joy of J&C’s sweet family and friends. It was magical. And I’m not just saying that because of the Disney reference. :)

J&C – You did it! We are thrilled and honored to have spent your special day with you. And now we’re excited to share our favorites! There are many. But I guess that’s what happens when clients are overly fabulous. XOXO!!

Yes. I wanted to steal Jenn’s Ivanka Trump pumps. And her Martina Liana gown was a vision!

Many thanks to Your Beautiful Face for making an already gorgeous bride feel even more fabulous…

Love this girl when she laughs. :) Flora Bella Designs also did a knock-out job on the bouquets.

Yay for first looks! Jenn and Clay decided to have one. It ensured a smooth schedule and eased nerves…

Portrait time yielded one of my favorite images of all time. They’re just happy.

J&C, I love how you fit together…

You can definitely tell here how much it had just rained. But that didn’t stop us!

I love me a wedding party made up of all siblings! Charlie, Stephanie, and Colin were a dream to work with.

And then came a moment eleven years in the making…

So thankful for that stud named Dylan, who grabbed shots like the one on the left from the balcony.

Fist pump. :)

This pretty cake was courtesy of Virginia’s Cakes.

It was also a pleasure working with videographer Rick Lemmons and DJ JPL Entertainment.

Kaley’s shot on the right. Love her!

And we’ll end on the typical reaction from the bride and groom during toasts that night. :)

Congratulations to Jenn and Clay! And happy Thursday!!

    Jenn - Anyone that knows me knows how overly critical and hard to please I am. Somehow you managed to completely exceed all my expectations! You are amazing at what you do Alyse, and I’m so grateful and happy you were there to capture our wedding. Thank you so much for the beautiful images. It was a joy to work with you, Dylan, and Kaley!
