Smith to Aldy Part 3: The Aldykiewicz Wedding
Finally, the last installment of the Aldykiewicz wedding! Following the ceremony and even more photos, I left Lauren with Mikey and Ari to get some couple portraits done and I went with the rest of the wedding party over to the reception at the Pete Dye River Course in Radford, VA. It was so beautiful over there! I could not believe the view, what a perfect location!
All the decorations were so perfect and every detail was definitely paid attention to. They had an open beer and wine bar from Bull and Bones and the food was catered as well- a perfect BBQ and chicken palate with macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, salad and bread. Needless to say I was VERY happy the photographers got fed :)
The dancing was incredible as well. During the first dance, mother/son, and father/daughter dance, there was not a dry eye in the room, even from me. It was so beautiful and obvious that the love these parents instilled in their children will certainly carry over in Mikey and Ari’s marriage. After those dances, the dancing playlist came on and everyone swarmed the floor and had a great time.
Overall, what a wonderful wedding. I am so honored to have been apart of this special day and grateful Lauren asked me to shoot with her. Congratulations to Mikey and Ari Aldykiewicz!
The first dance... Mikey sang every single word to Ari, it was so sweet.
Husband and Wife after a long but awesome day! Thanks again y’all :)
