Camille and Shep's Beautiful Wedding at The Bradford!

Camille and Shep chose The Bradford in New Hill for their wedding venue. It is an all-in-one wedding location which is beautiful. It was built and designed by two sisters who are wedding planners (C&D Events). It is a wonderful place to get married and I love doing weddings there.
This full length mirror is actually the seating chart.
It had been raining earlier in the week and the ground had been soggy but it dried out enough to go forward with an outdoor ceremony in the side yard. These guests are finding their seats.
When most of the guests had arrived, we began the processional. After the parents were seated, Shep and I entered and took our places up front. All Events DJ provided our music for the ceremony and reception.
Our wedding planner/director was Nicole with Vision Events. She had the wedding party all lined up and ready to go.
Some guests arrived late and were allowed to find their seats before all of the wedding party entered.
When the wedding party was in place, it was time for our beautiful bride and her father to enter. There were more guests waiting to be seated after the processional.
The guests stood in honor of the bride as Camille and her father made their way down the aisle. 
Once the bride was presented, the couple turned and faced each other holding hands. Our photographer, Amanda with Rivers and Roads, comes in for a close shot.
After welcoming the guests and a prayer, I stepped out to thank the couple's parents on their behalf. Then I had the pleasure of telling the story of how Shep and Camille met and fell in love and how they got to this day.
Exchange of vows and rings. 
They stepped under the arbor to light the unity candle. 
The candles are lit and stayed lit until after the ceremony. 
After a closing blessing, I pronounced them husband and wife and invited them to kiss.
No problem here! 
It was my pleasure to present them to their guests for the first time as husband and wife! 
On their way to the next chapter in their lives together--marriage! 
Camille and Shep! Congratulations on your marriage and beautiful wedding! Thank you for choosing me to join you in marriage. I wish you the best always.
