New Year, New Life: Missy and Brian's New Year's Eve Wedding

What a wonderful way to end 2010 and welcome 2011 as a newly Married Couple. That was the plan for Missy and Brian's Wedding at the gorgeous Hotel DuPont in Wilmington, DE. I had the help of second shooter, Nicole Peterson, with some of her images feature below.

The location was perfect and there were no winter weather surprises. The surprise to me was the awesome shoes selected by Missy for her Wedding, different and celebratory, perfect for New Year's Eve.

Celebration was in the air.

The beautiful bride getting ready with help from her loving mother.

Loved the color palette of her flowers.

Missy was all ready to go, with one last hug for her Mother. A sweet moment.

Now, let's not forget the groom and groomsmen...

Time to start the Ceremony with Missy's big moment, being walked down the aisle by her mother and brother.

Seeing Missy get teary eyed was very sweet. Getting to know Missy and Brian over the past year was a nice experience, making me feel truly part of their Wedding. This really placed a lump in my throat.

Mr. and Mrs. Brian Wainwright...

So it's a New Year and they are beginning their New Life, together.

Randy and Steph = Married!

It was a beautiful Winter Wedding, just before Christmas. There was a nice crisp chill in the air, a brilliant sun and two wonderful people preparing to spend their lives together. As cold as it was, both sides of the bridal party were troopers in weathering the cold and it made for some sweet photos.

Such a sweet moment with the Bride, her mother and sister. Love it!

Love the look on the groom when he sees his bride.

The Toasts were hysterical. Loved hearing how the Bestman and Groom were 'bitter' enemies in early grade school years.

The Brave Bridal Party was fine with the cold during the day and in the evening.

Don't be fooled, Steph turned out to be a cake smasher! However, Randy was sweet and laughed it off.

It was a great day and the dancing went well into the night. A great way to celebrate their new lives together.
