My favorite thing about weddings is that while they all share similar components, each one is so different and unique to each individual couple. And Caitlin and Dustin’s wedding was definitely unlike any other I had ever shot before.

If you haven’t already read my blog with their engagement sneak peek check it out here.

First off, Caitlin and Dustin’s wedding was held at the bar where Dustin works downtown, Brass House, which made it the first wedding I have ever shot at a bar.  And it was everything you would expect a wedding at a bar to be. Relaxed, entertaining, and above all, so much fun!

If there’s one thing that I think everyone can agree on right off the bat it’s that Caitlin was an absolute knock out in her stunning dress from Blush Bridal.

When the bride comes down the isle it is typical for everyone to stand, oo and ahh, and occasionally clap, but Caitlin and Dustin’s guests did something I had never seen before, they stood up and cheered and roared like a rock star had just entered the room! And Caitlin and her dad laughed all the way down the isle that ended in Caitlin joining center stage with her very soon to be husband. Then. In the middle of the ceremony Caitlin just broke down in a laughing fit. It was absolutely perfect.

Then it was time for the party! And like I said, it was exactly like you would expect a wedding at a bar to be. Some highlights were the balloons that fell during their first dance, the original song Caitlin’s dad surprised them, the awesome band and great dj, the dancing, and of course, the cake smashing.

But as awesome as all of the details of their wedding were, my favorite thing, above all of this, were the 7 words I heard Caitlin say over and over. I pointed it out to her after I heard her says it about the flowers, the cake, her hair, and her make up but she said it about absolutely everything. She kept saying “It’s PERFECT! It’s EXACTLY what I wanted!” And really… what more can you ask for? Was so glad that she got exactly what she wanted.

A huge congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and thank you so much for choosing to have me be a part of you day. I had so much fun with y’all!

Below is just a taste of what Caitlin and Dustin’s night looked like. And make sure you make it all the way to the end for 1 last highlight that I didn’t mention….

Oh And… This Happened….
