Catie and Mike were married last weekend at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA. With their closest friends and family they tied the knot in a short ceremony at the inn before an evening of dinner and dancing.
I had the pleasure of working with Heather Fuller. She rocks!
Mike is in the US Navy and was married in his formal uniform.
He had to “be reminded” how to tie a regular tie by his best man Joe. You would think they teach you these things in basic training! Just as a side note, Joe is also serving our country in the US Army. He is actually shipping out to Afghanistan this weekend. We wish him a safe return home.
Mike was remarkably calm right before the ceremony – or at least it looked that way on the outside. Here he’s giving his officiant some last minute instructions for the ceremony.
Catie is from just outside of Sturbridge, but she and Mike now make their home in Washington DC where he is stationed.
Once the ceremony was over, it was time to have some fun with the formal pictures before dinner. Mike stood there and held Catie for probably a good five minutes while everybody snapped away. He kept promising he wouldn’t drop her and he was true to his word.
Here’s a quiet moment after the formal pictures. I love taking bridal portraits. There’s just something about a bride on her wedding day.
Another couple of “awwww” moment with Mike dancing with one of the flower girls and showing off his military awards.
Thanks again to Heather for letting me join in the fun. And best wishes to Catie and Mike as they begin their new lives together.
