Ross + Marlene 9.12.10

If you've ever seen the movie 27 Dresses, you will remember the scene where Jane (Katherine Heigl) tells Kevin (James Marsden) that she always looks at the groom as the bride is walking down the aisle to see the look on his face. Where most people look at the bride, they both agree that the look on the groom's face tells a better story.

The way that Ross looked at Marlene on their wedding day was unlike anything I've ever seen. And it wasn't just the first time he saw her that day when she walked down the aisle; it was the whole day. There were countless pictures where Marlene was looking at the camera and smiling, and Ross was looking at her. I'm not typically a very sentimental person, but the adoration he showed for his new bride was simply beautiful. And I didn't even mention the toast Ross gave to Marlene at their reception... let's just say there were very few dry eyes in the room!

Ross and Marlene's wedding was at Elkins Resort on Priest Lake. There were so many things I loved about this wedding... how their guests all arrived on boats, the ceremony being held on a secluded beach, Marlene's gorgeous J. Crew wedding dress, the live music by Neva during the cocktail hour, the rustic elegance of the setting at Elkins, and just how intimate and personal the entire wedding was. Ross and Marlene decided they didn't want to see each other before the ceremony, so we did most of their pictures during the cocktail hour.
