Angela and Jeremy - June 28, 2008

Angela and Jeremy were married at their own church, Westminster Hall and Chapel, and had their reception at Casa Larga. 

Their love story is really amazing. Jeremy's parents and Angela's grandparents have lived across the street from each other for over 20 years. Jeremy and Angela met on Brooktree Drive when she was 3 and he was 8. They had their first kiss and first "I love you" on Brooktree.

We photographed their engagement pictures on Brooktree Drive and at Westminster Hall and Chapel

You might be asking..... "Married in their own church??" The most amazing thing about this couple is they decided to buy their own church to get married in! Angela and her mom have done an amazing job renovating Westminster Hall and Chapel. Angela couldn't find a non-denominational chapel for them to get married in so she started looking for a church for sale. They will rent the chapel out for wedding ceremonies and memorial services and rent the banquet hall out for wedding receptions, parties and other events. Angela said "Renovating a chapel is not on the typical to-do list of many brides, but it's been fun."

Here are a few picks from the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner  

Grooms cake

We were there bright and early the next day to catch all the excitement. Angela and the girls had just returned to the house from the salon and she discovered her bouquet. She was so happy and giggly.

Angela had amazing shoes for her dress. They matched her flowers perfectly. 

The guys got ready at Jeremy's parents house. 

Angela, her dad and stepdad moments before they all walked down the isle. 

Jeremy and one of his groomsmen moments before they went out to the altar. 

After the ceremony Angela and Jeremy came outside to be greeted by their guests and a butterfly release. 

We took some group pictures of the bridal party in the Hall.

Here are some favorite picks of the two of them. Jeremy and Angela were a joy to photograph. They were very laid back and up for anything. We got some great picks of them at the church, in the limo and at Casa Larga. They were having so much fun and enjoying the day, it made our job really easy. 

Angela danced with her dad first, then Jeremy danced with his mom and then Angela danced with her stepdad. 

They both have large extended families and everyone was having a blast at the reception. 

Congratulations Jeremy and Angela!!
