Carl and Stephanie just returned from their honeymoon in Hawaii so I wanted to get part two up by tonight. These photos were taken right before the reception. The wedding reception was held at Fox Hills Golf & Banquet Center, where the ceremony took place. These photos in front of the cloudy sky are some of my personal favorites from the night. 
I love how the ceremony location was visible through the windows of the banquet center. 
Bright and gorgeous sunlight filtered through the windows during Carl’s father’s speech and the reception dinner, setting in time for the first dance. 
Remember the rehearsal dance photos? Carl and Stephanie’s first dance was a lovely routine to Elvis’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love.”
The sun had just set when we went out to take these photos. It was setting as they performed their first dance and we ran outside to get these shots as the guests took to the dance floor. We faced some hungry mosquitos for these photos. The silhouette was a happy accident when my flash misfired. The extra effort was worth it. 
Matthew helped me set up these ring portraits outside the banquet hall. He found this amazing plant for me. I love how the green pops in the light!
