Deanna and Kirk

So, Deanna and Kirk were our last outdoor wedding of the year -- and it was dangerously close to freezing, but things turned out perfectly and the sun came out and kept everyone warm through the ceremony. The car had a nice layer of frost on it when we left, but the stunning Hillside Inn had a beautiful fireplace that kept the dancers warm throughout the evening. We arrived at the Inn and Kirk was making sure some last-minute details were in place, while Deanna was getting her fabulous makeup and hair done.

Deanna is no fool -- she went with comfort footwear all the way. I love a bride that loves sneakers!

The gorgeous dress -- she had this beautiful black detailing, and what I really loved was that instead of an all-white veil, hers brought the black elements of the dress into it. Totally sweet.

Meanwhile, Kirk and his boys were in another of the Inn's stunning rooms getting ready.

And Deanna was taking a beautiful portrait in her room, before she headed downstairs to get married. When Rich saw the hallway, he immediately knew he had to get the "girls coming out of the room" shot -- I think it looks perfect!

Then it was time to head down the aisle!

A nice fall ring shot!

And then we walked around the grounds to do some portraits; first with the group, then just with Deanna and Kirk.

Then it was into the beautifully decorated reception space. I seriously couldn't love fall weddings more -- the colors, the fact that I'm a sucker for fall, they're my favorite.

The toast!

And then it was time for some dancing. Thanks, again, guys for having us with you -- it really was a fantastic time, and I know your guests absolutely enjoyed themselves. We'll talk to you soon!
