Chelsea & Brad - Part 1: Getting Ready

Last Saturday Cecile and Courtney captured the wedding of Chelsea and Brad.

If you've been following our blog, you probably remember this couple from their engagement shoot HERE
 
We arrived at Hampton Inn in Dartmouth Crossing where the girls were getting ready.

When we walked in the door the room was a bustle of activity.

We have so many amazing pictures that it was hard to narrow them down to just a few.

Let's start by introducing you to the girls

Chelsea's mom was very excited for her daughter, and very proud.
I would catch her sneaking glances at her daughter throughout the morning.
You could see the love and pride in her eyes.

The hair and makeup artists that were brought in did a fantastic job with all of the girls.
The makeup artist had the girls sitting facing the window which allowed for some incredible light!

Chelsea and Brad's colors were brown and pink.
All of the ladies wore these adorable pink shoes that complimented their dresses.
Chelsea added a little bling bling to hers!
Her flowers were beautiful.  A combination of roses and lilies made for the perfect touch.

 And I'll leave you with a few pictures of the beautiful bride before I introduce you to the guys!

 Courtney stayed with the girls while Cecile headed to meet up with the guys.
I couldn't have arrived at a better time.
All of the guys had just started getting ready.

Let's start by introducing you to the guys.

 The atmosphere was very laid back as the guys prepared for the big day.
Brad's brother and Best man gave him a hand

 I left the guys with their hair while I got a picture of the rings

 and when I came back I found Brad taking a moment by himself looking out the window.

A gift for Brad from Chelsea.

There was a letter for him that was rolled up and put into a bottle.

The morning went super fast and it was almost time to go

Brad's mother was very excited for Brad.

Can't forget the boutineers
