Leah and Joseph were married at Temple Sinai and everything went perfect. I mean, it was perfect! Ususally there is at least one glitch or two but Terry Saxe was on the job and it was smooth as butter.
Both Leah and Joseph were always in the moment and quite relaxed. Family and friends had a blast and the reception rocked on the dance floor. Here are some of my favorite images.
Blood lilies adornedthe wedding party while white lilies filled the reception with wonderful aroma. Eventscapes did an amazing job of transforming an ordinary room into a beautiful atmosphere.
Leah and Joseph met before the ceremony, which I LOVE, and the window behind them was filled with bridesmaids and moms. I could almost hear the *sighs* and giggles as they watched their reactions and first moments together on their wedding day.
They never took their eyes of each other during the first dance. It was so sweet.
So I have to say how amazing this band was. Bobby and the Aristocats were the most entertaining band I have ever worked with. They put on such a fabulous show that it felt like we should have had tickets to be there. Bobby was always working the crowd, leading, dancing and keeping everyone engaged. It was great.
The toasts were hilarious. Dad was tender and mushy as all dads are but the best man and Leah’s two sisters had everyone roaring.
Getting great dancing shots is so much more challenging that you might think. It’s a continual movement and freezing one split second of it usually takes away so much of the bigger picture. I’m putting this photo in because the girl in the middle was almost as entertaining as the band. She was so fun to watch because she was having so much fun. If you are worried about people dancing at your wedding, you should invite her, she’ll get ‘em going.

Oh Shawna! Oh Shawna! Oh Shawna!
Robert and I are up in DC in our cozy little apartment and have just viewed the slideshow and the blog. You are truly the best I’ve seen. I felt like I was right there again and felt the same feelings I felt then. I’d forgotten so much and was counting on you to help us relive it all. You did it and I cannot wait until we get the album(s). Thank you for everything and take great care of yourself, your eyes, your hands, your brain. It will be a while before the next 2 get married and we want you to be there. You were part of the reason the evening was PERFECT!
Love
Cathy and Robert
Awesome Pics!
You really captured the fun, energy and excitement of the night. You even caught my “air” bound move. I must say this was one night that the entire band was caught up in the excitement of everyone partying on the dance floor. I think I even learned a few new dance moves.
Leah and Joseph, on behalf of Bobby & The Arisotcats, thanks for allowing us to “rock the dance floor”.
