My Best Friend's Wedding

I am finally getting around to posting pictures from Paige's beach wedding and am also adding a few pictures we took at her Louisville reception that was this weekend.  While I did posts about our trip to Florida here, here and here, I hadn't had the opportunity yet to sort through all the pictures I took at Paige's wedding itself, and there were a lot!  I was so glad that I was able to make it to Florida to be a part of Paige's big day.  This girl means more to me than I ever imagined a friend could.  She is the sister I never had and always wanted and I am so happy that she is so happy.  While she had a photographer there that was fantastic, she let me play amateur photographer as well and it was a lot of fun! 

I came a little early to help Paige get ready. 

Before the ceremony little Miss Ava took a little power nap.  She had to be ready for the big event!

Since the photographer was taking pictures of Paige as she walked down the aisle, I took pictures of Ryan as he first saw her.  Priceless.

This was Ava's reaction to seeing her mom.  She is so cute!

The ceremony itself.

My family, minus Jasper of course.

Ava was very happy when the ceremony was over and she could be with her mommy.

Jax got a little mommy time as well.

While everyone was enjoying the reception and the great food, Jax and Ava were both being changed in the bedroom.  When they both got on the bed they kept reaching for each other, so precious!

Cutting the cake.

By the end we were all wiped out.

Saturday night we went to the reception in Louisville for Paige and Ryan at Glassworks.  I didn't any pictures of the reception itself because the lighting was low and I am  not great with my camera yet.  Here are the pictures I did manage to get before the reception and of my family though.

Getting there early to help paige get ready and being greeted by a very excited Miss. Ava.

Jax and Ava, Jax is just obsessed with her and is always reaching for her.

The whole family at the reception.

Me and my little man.  So cute.

Dad loved hanging out with Jax.  I tried really hard to get them both to look at the camera but it didn't happen. 

This is the closest I got.  Jax refused to keep his hands out of his mouth and my dad figured "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Jax with his Madre and Papa Bear!

Dancing during the reception

They had a characteur artist at the reception and this is Jax's.  Not bad!

I cannot get enough of this hat.  Jax kept it on the entire reception.

While Jax managed to stay up past his 6:30 bedtime and do pretty well, we definitely left earlier than we used to from wedding receptions.  We still had a fabulous time celebrating with Paige and Ryan.  Congrats guys and thanks for letting us be a part of your wedding!
