Michelle and Scott

The first weekend of the New Year brought wedding bells for Michelle Bayura and Scott Poley. The couple was married at St. Anne's Catholic Church on January 3rd. The couple is from California, so they chose St. Anne's as a substitute for their home church.

Michelle was beautiful in a simple strapless dress with a sweep train. Instead of a veil, she wore small red and white flowers in her hair, to match her bouquet. The maid of honor also wore red and carried a red and white bouquet.

The reception was held downtown at the Garrett Bullock House. The house was decorated beautifully with flowers by Mayumi Hashiyama. Also on display was a handmade gift, created with a poem and coins, dedicated to the couple by the bride's sister. Both families had a great time at the reception, which was DJ'd by our friend, Benji Shepherd.

It was a cloudy day, but the sun shined on the happy newlyweds! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Poley!

Scott and Maria

As the holidays were coming to an end, Maria Perales and Scott Taft were starting their new life together as husband and wife! December 27th was a pleasant and warm but very windy day for the couple and their families!

The bride wore a pretty strapless dress with sparkling detail on the bodice. She carried a beautiful bouquet of red roses and greenery. Her maid of honor's dress was red like the flowers and carried a bouquet like the bride's, but smaller. However, the cutest member of the wedding party was the couple's little boy, who was dressed in a tuxedo to match his daddy's!

Friend of the studio (and Julie's cousin), Wes Carroll, played a dual role in the Taft's big day. He officiated the ceremony and DJ'd the reception. Held at the Goetchius House downtown, the reception was very intimate and romantic. As the evening moved along, everyone had a great time dancing with the bride and groom. Scott and Maria had one of the best cake smashing fights we've seen lately! They both had more cake on their faces then they actually ate as they were feeding each other.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Taft! Best Wishes for a Happy Marriage!
