Tarah and Daniel were married on a beautiful day at the end of June! Tarah and I are two peas in a pod when it comes to schedules and organization (but she has me COMPLETELY beat in the fitness department:)! I loved that she had her day timed out perfectly and stuck to it…everything went so smoothly all morning/aftenoon!
The girls got ready down the street from Lakeview at a hotel. They were a fun group and had out old pictures to reminisce about (and there were some GREAT ones of Tarah too – in all her 90’s glory!).
While the girls had been getting ready, the guys were literally sunbathing and hanging out! When it was time to get dressed, I popped on over to Daniel’s room and grabbed a few pictures of him!
Back in the girls suite, Tarah was being helped into her dress by her sisters and her mom!
After just a few pictures of Tarah, I noticed that we had forgotten the veil!!
Mom helped Tarah get that into place….
and we finished up with a few more pictures!
Outside we found a small spot on the hotel’s property and did a few pictures of the guys together….
and once they were gone, we used the same spot for the girls!
I left the girls to zoom over to Lakeview for some detail pictures before the ceremony….
I loved the 10 Things that you need to know about Tarah and Daniel….adorable (and funny:) little touch!
As I mentioned above, Tarah was super organized and timely on her day….unfortunately, a horrific accident that happened between when I left the hotel and when she left the hotel, caused her and her girls to be almost an hour late! I was waiting for them FEELING for Tarah! I know that I would have been freaking out, so I was sure that she was too!
When she did arrive, she was calm and cool – I was so proud of her…we kept everything moving and the day worked out perfectly – like nothing had ever happened:)!!
All of the bridal party couples entered to different songs….Tarah’s sister and Daniel’s brother entered to “Shots” by LMFAO – it was great!!
Their wedding was on a Sunday evening, but let me tell you they still had a drinking and dancing crowd! The floor was packed the whole time and they can definitely dance (I found out that Tarah used to be a Mitzvah dancer back in her teen years – I can totally see it:)!!
Tarah’s grandma is a riot and so much fun!
Tarah definitely gets her moves from her mother – she was phenomenal!! Tarah presented her bouquet to her mother during the reception too….
Tarah and Daniel – congratulations! I hope that you are enjoying the last bit of time in Hawaii!! I am excited to say that your full gallery will be ready for you when you return:)!!
