Emily and Dan - Married - Gaston Country Club

On July 18th Emily and Dan were married at their church - Parkwood Baptist in Gastonia - and had their reception at Gaston Country Club.

I have to start this post out with the disclaimer for all of the baby girl pictures. Prior to her wedding day, Emily had told me that all of the little kids I've made mention of on my blog about being the cutest child alive.....they got nothin' on her niece. And when Geoff and I arrived to Emily's parents house early on Saturday morning and were greeted by little Katie in her pajamas watching cartoons on the couch, I knew Emily was right....she is, in fact....deemed by me.....THE cutest child alive. See what I mean?

While I've never been before, I hear SO many great things about Poffie Girls dress salon in Gastonia, which is where Emily found her beautiful dress.

Nothing better then a freshly clean just-out-of-the-bath baby in a towel....this is one thing I can't wait for to have babies.

Hi, Dan.

I die over this.

And then Geoff had to go on and shoot this all time FAVORITE groom portrait of Dan.

One of my favorite parts of the reception? The ICE CREAM BAR.....genius! (and it made it even better that it was to honor and remember their grandparents).

So, what do you think? Ring shot #1?

Or, ring shot #2?

Love this.

And who was the awesome DJ of the day? Jill from All the Right Grooves - love her. :)

Emily and Dan wanted to sneak out of the reception to grab a few more portraits - yes, please. We can do that - anytime.

We just loved Emily, Dan and their families. Thank you guys for being so good to us. :) Emily and Dan - many blessings to you for your new life together. :)
