Flowers:
Olivia Cuddeford, the lovely maid of honor has offered to do the flowers for our wedding!
With her keen eye for beauty and sophistication, the bouquets and table settings will be fantastic!
Photography:
We have three friends that will be doing our digital photography: Chris Ruddick (married to Brenda Ruddick, a bridesmaid), Bill Ruddick (father to Chris) and Meagan O'Shea (good friend of Christina's and sister to Erin O'Shea, a bridesmaid). With their combined photographic talents, we are excited to have them capture the awesome memories on our special day and we appreciate all of their enthusiasm and help with our wedding!
Wedding guests are encouraged to bring their cameras for taking pictures before and after the ceremony. In order to keep flashes at a minimum and to reduce any kind of distraction during our short ceremony, we ask that no pictures be taken by guests during the ceremony as our 3 photographers will be doing an amazing job! Please feel free to take as many pictures as you want before and after the ceremony.
Guests may email us their pictures and we will display and credit them on our website after we return from our honeymoon. Additionally, since our wedding pictures will be digital, we will be posting them online for you all to download and print locally. We will make the official address for the wedding pictures available soon after the honeymoon so everyone can view and enjoy the pictures at their leisure!
Music:
Our friend Chris Brainerd will be doing our music for the ceremony and reception. We are so pleased to have his help and are excited he is our DJ! Some of you know Chris from various dance parties he's hosted at his house and for others who haven't had the pleasure of witnessing his mixing talents, you will be in for a nice surprise!
Accomodations for out of town guests:
As most of our invited guests are local, we would be happy to assist any of our out of town guests with locating accomodations, etc.
Please email Zachary or Christina and let us know your needs and we will be glad to help!
Registries:
We are so very blessed to have each other and that is enough of a gift!
For those who would like some gift ideas, we are registered at Macy's and Crate & Barrel.
We do not expect gifts from anyone, so please do not feel obligated!
