Wedding: Claudia.Erdem

Claudia and Erdem had a beautiful wedding in Auburn. One of my favorite parts of the day was the Family Formals. What?!?!?!! you say? Yes, that’s right – the Family Formals, which are never anyone’s favorite part of the day, hehehe. But…Claudia’s and Erdem’s families live in different countries, and as I’m sure they don’t see each other nearly as often as they wish, it was extremely important to them to have tons of pictures of their families. To this end, we took family pictures in several locations. If you’re looking to have unique family portraits, and have FUN doing them…take your cue from this wonderful couple, and think outside the church!

A few pictures of the beautiful bride for you –

And yes, we did indeed do the traditional Family Formals.

LOVE this moment:

And this one – the excitement is so obvious!

Something you don’t see very often anymore: the Receiving Line. I can’t even begin to tell you how highly I think of this tradition. It’s not only the perfect way to make sure you get to speak individually to each guest at your wedding, it also allows me to photograph each them with you!

Here’s a couple of my favorite dance floor moments:

Congratulations, Claudia & Erdem!
