Wedding Pictures #2!

Flashback Summer: My 1940s Air Force Military Wedding - vintage dress

Today I have a follow up of my first wedding photo post!  These are from the lovely Ashley Edwards, the second shooter at my wedding (and also a friend from my dorm hall), of Ashley Brooke Edwards Photography.  She got some good experience working with my friend Noor at my wedding, and she's producing fabulous photos!  Here are some of the wonderful pictures she shot:

Some of you may recognize the band in a photo below: Sarah Jane & the Blue Notes!  They were AMAZING!  They look vintagely fabulous, their musicianship is incredible, and they were great to work with, very flexible and very kind.  They even learned "Faithful Forever" by Glen Miller just so Jacob and I could have it played live during our first dance, which was so good of them!  I highly recommend them for any of your upcoming events in the St. Louis area!

Didn't my mom look great?!  She pin curled her hair and wore a real 1940s dress for the occasion, and rocked it!

This was my going away outfit!  I'll have more shots of it for you in the next wedding picture post!
Flashback Summer: My 1940s Air Force Military Wedding - father daughter
Instead of a father-daughter dance, my father and I did a crane folding ceremony, as in folding Japanese origami cranes.  My dad showed me how to do it when I was very little, and it's been a "thing" of ours ever since.  It was much more meaningful than a dance.

Here was the table at the front of the church for cards, gifts, and signing our wedding poster instead of a guest book!

We decorated the tables simply with vintage linens, fresh flowers in old jars and vases, candies, paper cranes folded by my father, and pictures of Jacob's and my relatives who had served in the military back in the day.

  8. These photos are so, so beautiful. They really capture how special and intimate your wedding was! Love the idea of forgoing the father-daughter dance to something more special and personal. :)
