Winter Wedding At Center For Visual & Performing Arts
Bride and groom kiss under string lights at Center For Visual & Performing Arts.
It had been a long time coming! Sarah and Brent have been my wedding client for 3 years now as they planned their winter wedding at Center For Visual & Performing Arts only to have the health crisis of 2020 delay them to this year.
The day finally came where they could celebrate with friends and family and they did so in a big way!!
Our day started with bridal prep inside the bridal suite at the Arts Center and the groomsmen getting ready for the day at home.

Soon it was time for our mid-afternoon first look on the patio of the Center For Visual & Performing Arts. Although it was a bit chilly, Sarah loved the patio area with the brick flooring and greenery. They had fun as they came together for the first time on wedding day.
We took some romantic wedding photos outside before moving inside for photos on the staircase and then back out again for some fun shenanigans with the entire wedding party.

At my winter weddings I always try to be aware that my subjects are going to be cold so we need to do things quickly and find ways to keep them warm. These bridesmaids were lucky recipients of groomsmen jackets and unfortunately the guys got stuck with bouquets of flowers. As always, having fun trounces cold temperatures!!

The wedding ceremony took place on the ballroom floor. The newlyweds broke bread and drank wine as well as they literally tied the knock. Soon the first kiss was underway and then it was family group photos straight into cocktail hour.

The wedding reception had some terrific speeches - funny, emotional and celebratory. The first dances were lovely moments and the dancing was simply off the hook. Our groom was hoisted into the air several times and I don’t think our bride left the floor much at all. Good times…
