Real Wedding Story: Kaptur your Wedding!

Posted on by

Meghan McMahon was kind enough to tell us the story of her wedding and how she Kaptur’d every moment when she got married in Williamsburg, VA.

Real Wedding Story

How did your husband propose?
My family was having a birthday party for my brother-in-law then having more friends over later for swimming, dancing and drinks on our back deck. My husband used this opportunity to pull me aside and pop the question. When we came back, the DJ (my brother-in-law) was playing Beyoncé‘s “Single Ladies”!

Did anything unexpected happen on the day?
We had more time than we thought we would. I’m a planner, so I baked in an hour between the wedding and cocktail hour – but pictures didn’t last too long and our guests arrived early. So we entered the reception early!

Were there any unusual themes or special touches for the wedding?
We both went to James Madison University and we had the traveling Duke Dog (mascot) attend – which was just a small statue named Road Dawg. We really wanted our wedding to be simple and elegant, so our small touches were there.

What Meghan had to say about Kaptur:
I love being able to see all my photos and friends’ photos from our big day in one place. I know my friends have enjoyed seeing them all together and have created albums of their own. I am excited to incorporate this into other events in the future!

Thanks Meghan! It sounds like you had an amazing day.

Real Wedding: Jordan and Leanne, Photographed by David and Sherry

David & Sherry, of David Buck Photography, are an international award-winning team of photographers who love life, capturing couples in love and just plain having a good time. 

We spoke to David and Sherry about what it was like to work with Jordan and Leanne on their engagement, wedding, and Ever After photo-shoots:

“What an incredible couple.  Sherry and I feel like we have known Jordan and Leanne forever even though it’s just been since they started planning their wedding.” 

Their wedding looks beautiful! We love all the purple accents. We asked David and Sherry to tell us a little more about the couple’s wedding day:

“Jordan & Leanne got married just outside Toronto, Canada on a day which featured everything from the heaviest of rain to the brightest sunshine. It all started at the Hilton hotel in Markham, then they were swept off by limo to the Sleepy Hollow Golf Club in Stouffville. Even though the weather man was forecasting rain, the rain held off for the ceremony, and the sun even came out as they were saying their vows! The day was filled with love and joy between family, friends and everyone else.”  

It looks like some of these pictures really capture the essence of the moment – any good stories you would like to share?

“Leanne said to us, ‘I know it’s cheesy, but I want the guys to hold me up in the air.’  I secretly thought, it would be better if they were throwing her in the air…so I told the guys to throw her in the air without Leanne noticing, and as they had her held, up she went, complete with an excellent expression.”

“I asked Leanne after the wedding what Jordan said that made her laugh like this…She had no idea. It will remain a mystery.”

Anything else you would like to add?

“Thank you [Jordan and Leanne] so much for having fun all day long and allowing us to be part of your wedding.”

See what Jordan and Leanne say about David and Sherry here.

More about the photographers: David & Sherry are based part of the year in Los Cabos, Mexico and the other part near Toronto, Canada, this couple loves to travel and enjoys the challenges of a new location. They have been published on the top Canadian wedding sites, have been awarded multiple awards from the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) and just this year had one of their images chosen by Junebug Weddings as one of the 50 best of the best wedding photos of 2011.
