This wedding was very special to us for a lot of reasons. Tallahasee isn’t usually a “destination” wedding location, but Amber and Reno had contacted us from California and hired us long distance for their Honey Lake Plantation affair. We talked on the phone several times, and finally met a month or so ago when they flew into town for final wedding preparations, and do to their engagement session with us. We had a great time getting to know them, and by wedding day we were “old friends”.
This was also our first Indian wedding. We had so much fun getting to know this new culture and seeing some of the wedding traditions. Amber was completely focused during the two hour ceremony, even though I’m sure her knees were buckling and feet were hurting. We are always very quiet and non-obtrusive during the ceremony, but the guests and parents kept encouraging us to move closer, or get behind someone to get the better angles. So that took a little pressure off knowing that the pictures were the most important thing to them.
Our good buddy, Nick Russett , came up from Orlando to be our 3rd shooter of the day since we were also doing video. We had a blast getting to work with him and he has so many amazing images! Thanks Nick!
I’ll leave you with a quote from the questionnaire I sent Amber before the wedding. I think it sums them up perfectly: “Our ideal wedding day is a celebration with the people we hold dear to our hearts who love and support the lifelong commitment we’ve made to one another. We feel as though we are old souls from different sides of the globe whose love transcends barker & baumecker time and geography.”
I love everything about this sequence of pictures. The bridesmaids’ sarees (traditional Indian dress), the emotion Amber and the girls were having getting her into her dress, the setting…everything!
The escort card table was so fun and unique. The trees had little paper birds on them with everyone’s names and the table name. They named their tables after different years, and had pictures barker & baumecker of themselves from that year (from childhood on up!).
After first dances and dinner, Amber snuck away with an “entourage” to get into her saree. It was such an amazing experience getting to watch these women dress her. It’s very complicated and intricate, and was one of my favorite parts of the day.
Funny story: the little flower girl, Caycie, wasn’t too thrilled to have her picture taken all day. Her mom told me that she called her grandma barker & baumecker “Nay Nay” (I think that’s right), and they discovered that if anyone went by “Nay Nay”, that she liked them the same as grandma. So early in the day they started calling me Nay Nay. It didn’t catch on until the middle of the reception, when all of a sudden she came running up to me while I was crouching to take a picture. She wrapped her arms around me and said, “Nay Nay”! barker & baumecker It was the cutest thing ever and totally made my night.
“Congratulations, Best wishes for a new beginning.
