ever after | alyssa & gary

This year has been an amazing ride. Alyssa & Gary's wedding was my last wedding of 2009 and let me tell you, we went out with a bang. They are as nice as they are gorgeous and I couldn't get enough of them. They were married at the Lanam Club in North Andover and the ceremony was at one of the most interesting churches I've shot in (St. Michaels) Without further ado:

Alyssa spent so much time on the details of her day. Also, most of you know I have sworn off wedding cake, but they broke my boycott when their whole cake was FUN FETTI!!

Yup, how cute are they?

walking in to the ceremony:

VERY cool church:

SO cool that I even made her stay for this shot. I usually never hang around a church for too long because its normally to formal for me, but this is one of my favorites of the YEAR (yup, i went there)

color overload!!

another favorite:

I love the mood of the one on the left:

So Alyssa and Gary surprised each other with presents, which I think is adorable. Gary, my kind of guy, bought Alyssa a sweet camera to bring on their honeymoon, and even though its a Canon, I'll forgive him :) Alyssa waited to a bit later in the night and surprised Gary with a second AMAZING cake! At first I thought it was designed by the Cake boss it was so cool. Gary like to surf so it was a surfboard on a wave of frosting. Love his surprise face here;

There was even a shark with a veil!

The kids weren't excited at all about the fact that there was a second cake:

"I'm Yours"

Don't know what they were dancing to here, but pretty funny :)

This is why I stay till the end:
