Charles & Emily

6-20-2020


 

You might ask yourself, what can I do on my wedding day if there’s some extra time between venue availability and one great answer is to hop on a party bus with all of your wedding party and head to the bowling alley to bowl on some private lanes. It’s not often that you get to see a bride put on bowling shoes but, it’s also not often that you have a couple like this who met on stage as the lead roles and fell in love off stage too! There are a lot of moments on this wedding day that were far from the usual such as them finishing the first dance and throwing on jackets to dance and sing “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease or that when given the chance to photograph in the actual museum during the reception, you say okay now do “Singing in the Rain” with the light pole as a posing que.

Charles and Emily were a delight from the start when we met over Coffee and knew that we would enjoy the wedding day. Saint Teresa of the Avila is such a gorgeous catholic church in the Grovetown area and with all the interesting changes brought of by Covid-19, it was still perfect and they had room to have a decent sized wedding and we loved that. Shortly after the ceremony and family photos inside, we got to hang out a little and take some couples photos while we waited for the party bus to arrive. We hopped on the bus once it arrived and everyone commenced to laugh, take photos and even make a toast among themselves. We arrived and checked in at the bowling alley and I couldn’t event remember the last time I had been there so, needless to say, everything looked wayyy different and the private lanes were great and they announced the happy couple over the intercom which was unexpected and a lot of fun to see their reactions. Morgan and I left just a little before they did at the bowling alley to get ahead over the museum to photograph and film the details there before it got busy and packed and so we could get them arriving to the reception and we got to meet Bryan (Dr Vac - the DJ) and a few guests around the tables which was a great experience. Come time for them to arrive and dance their way off the bus and then into the reception where the dances began which we already talked about but, they also had some surprise guests where Emily’s parents were both dancing with her at one point and then Charles’ dad danced with his mother and then Charles stole the dance half way in which seemed to surprise her a little and was so sweet to see. The rest was history at the Augusta museum of History as they danced the night away and we said goodbye but, we found ourselves heading home and talking about how much fun that wedding day was and that there were a lot of surprises around every corner. We were honored to be a part of Charles and Emily’s big day and now that they have tied the knot officially, we cannot wait to see what’s next!
