Damian and Ali - May 17th 2008

The wedding of Damian and Ali kicked off the 2008 wedding season... and what a cool wedding it was. I arrived at the church early to set up. They were married at St. Sylvester's Parish on Brownsville Road. It was here that I ran into a good friend, Dino Bovo, their photographer. We had a quick chat, then got back to business. After placing a camera on the balcony, I met up with Damian and the guys for some pre ceremony stuff. Then I headed downstairs to see if our bride, Ali had arrived, and there she was... as stunning as can be! I worked a little with Ali, but took it easy on her, as she was a tad nervous for her big day!

So the ceremony began, and was beautiful. I just love Damian's reaction when Ali walked down the aisle. She was breathtaking and he as in tears. One of those "magical moments" we love in our business. They did great through their vows and rings, ect and "ta-da", they were pronounced husband and wife! Despite the pre-wedding nerves, Ali was amazing!

After some interviews with the wedding party and family... off to the reception we went. The wedding reception was in the PPG Aquarium. What a unique venue! Cocktails took place up on the balcony, while guests strolled around, looking at the sights. Then dinner took place in the larger area down below. Dino and I did some catching up (it'd been a while!) upstairs in the "classroom" for dinner, and headed back after a quick bite to eat. The cake, not sure who made it, but it was beautiful. I didn't have a chance to taste it, but it sure looked good when Ali and Damian cut it!

The day was great, and even a little rainfall couldn't stop these two and their love for one another... CONGRATS DAMIAN AND ALI!!! Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon...

Enjoy these photos!!!
