Josh and Amanda's Wedding, Part 3...The Reception

After the wedding, we all enjoyed a reception brunch at Ellendale's restaurant , where we had yummy made-to-order omelets, all sorts of pasta and veggie salads, fruit, a hot gourmet buffet,dessert (the cheesecake was fantastic!)...the food was the best I have ever had at a wedding reception, and the staff was very friendly and accomodating:

There was special music by Delores Hershey:


Josh and Amanda danced to "Valentine" (Martina McBride's song):



 And Amanda's grandfather cut in for a kiss:
Eric and I heard our wedding song, "At Last", so we danced, too (thanks to Hannah Mac Photography for this picture!):

Instead of a big cake for a small wedding, Josh and Amanda decided to have cake pops, Italian Opera Creme for her, and White Chocolate Raspberry for him-so yummy and perfect with a cup of coffee!
The Bride and Groom cake pops:


And a shot of Josh and Amanda with them:


(I think Amanda may have wanted to hide hers):


And the pretty pops that the guests received:
I have to admit, this last shot shot was inspired by the actual wedding photogs-I saw them photographing the cake pops on this gorgeous mosaic table, and thought it was a fantastic idea!

It was fun to watch them feed each other-it brought back memories of my own wedding, when Eric wouldn't let me smash the cake in his face (he HATES sticky stuff and sweets):



Cake kiss:

After that, the photogs took Josh, Amanda, and Porter outside for some photos-I took some, too, but they get all credit for posing!
I love Porter playing with his Mommy's necklace:
Love these mother/son moments:



Amanda's "supermen":

(I love how Porter was checking out Josh's pose to see what to do!)


Amanda is one lucky lady to have 2 super guys! Thank you for allowing me to share Josh and Amanda's special day with you...tomorrow, I will have a few outtakes of various other family members and photos that my kiddos allowed me to take of them in their dress clothes.

  3. You out-did yourself with the pictures. I love the idea of an understated cake-pops for the bride and groom - and the superhero shots are too adorable. Your brother and his new family will most certainly be forever indebted to you for these wonderful (photographed) memories.
