cathy & nic @ The Tower Hill Botanical Garden

Cathy and Nic's wedding at the Tower Hill Bontanical garden.  It was alot of fun and turned out to be a great day for the wedding.  The weather was a concern for awhile but it worked out perfectly.

Cathy's hotel room had the coolest window set up, which I think worked out great for the shoe and dress shot.  Instead of the traditional curtains there were doors instead.
The dress was a bit tricky to hang up in the window, but I managed to balance it using the coat hanger.  I was pumped about this set up, I think it worked out pretty cool.
Super sneaky shot of Cathy not realizing I was getting her with the dress in the mirror.  Until Carla let the cat out of the bag and told her what I was up to  : (

Carla had this great idea using the candy that Cathy brought with her.  After Carla did her set up, I took over the candy and made it better  ;) 
And YES the candy was GOOD!!!
This was a cool theater area that Cathy put her dress on.  The lighting was so cool, I really love dramatic lighting setups.

This was a cool greenhouse area Cathy and Nic had their reception in.
