this couple... was so incredibly nice. both of their families were so sweet & easy to work with. jason's aunt & uncle from somewhere in the midwest tried to convince me they were rednecks & i put that down quickly when i said i was "just as being from kentucky n all!" i love midwestern folk :)
they had a traditional tea ceremony before the wedding ceremony to honor the brides ancestors & heritage. which was really sweet. the bride & groom offer her family tea & if they take & drink it that means they've accepted him as family. lysa started crying with her grandmother & i was afraid this was how the whole day was gonna go with me tearing up behind the camera, but we all regained control :) and the day was so much fun!
here are a few pictures!
jason has just arrived for the tea ceremony.
lysa's grandmother accepting the tea.
after accepting the tea they would offer a red envelope to the couple. i thought this was a cool detail.
in between the tea ceremony & wedding ceremony we headed back to jason's house with the groomsmen to play some video games. i think lysa is suggesting jason wasn't as "nice" to her as he'd promised this game :)

now lips.
clip on ties & cute kids.
even the bathrooms in this place were cool.
cute ceremony shot.
man & wife.
the sun set pretty much right after the ceremony so we didn't have much time for pictures but we were still able to take advantage of this beautiful place & make some cool photos of these two love birds.
i love this one.
first dance.
lysa dancing with her father-in-law!
the groomsmen building very tall buildings :)
& then entertaining us with their ribbon dance.
and then for the second to last song of the night- they did the cancan.
thanks lysa & jason for two full days of great food & fun.
