May 16, 2009 Part 1

Holli Petersen & James Park
Saturday, May 16, 2009 @ 3pm
Heritage Chapel/The Adolphus Hotel

What a sweet couple! I came to adore Holli and James {and Holli's mom} over the past 6 months. I got to spend time with Holli and her mom during her bridal portrait shoot. It was such a fun afternoon with some creative poses by Huy {their amazing photographer}. You can see some of her bridal pictures here.

The ceremony was lovely. Not only did it look gorgeous, the content of the ceremony was Christ-centered and worshipful. James' family flew in from California; and the couple incorporated many of his families cultural traditions into the ceremony. They presented flowers to the family towards the end of the ceremony. Holli's mom and brother built two beautiful kneelers that Holli and James can keep forever. Such as special gift! The reception was held at The Adolphus Hotel.

I just loved the over sized floral arrangements on the stage ... they looked so good! Great job Junior!

They had lots of out-of-town guests staying at the Adolphus Hotel so Holli and James provided a shuttle to get their guests back and forth from the church to the hotel. It worked out so well. The shuttle ran a couple of times on Friday for the rehearsal and then started running at 1:45 on Saturday (for the 3pm wedding). The timing was perfect all weekend. I would highly recommend renting a bus/shuttle to transport guests if you have lots of people in town without a car! And the Adolphus is just around the corner from us, so it's really convenient!
