Joy and Alec… where do I even begin? Well, to state the obvious, they’re goofy and fun. And their wedding was chock full of pizazz. I shall make a list of all of the cool things about their day.
Let’s see, there was the kazoo fanfare that erupted during the ceremony after Joy and Alec’s first kiss as a married couple.
Then they also made a large banner similar to a half-time football player banner that read, “JUST MARRIED” for them to run through after getting back to the reception from the ceremony site. It was completely hysterical.
For table centerpieces they used children’s board games. The tables were covered in white butcher paper that Joy spray-painted through lace to make the paper look lacy. I used one of those tables and an extra “lace” tablecloth as a backdrop for some of the photos… I think it turned out well!
Then there was the cake. Joy and Alec are not big fans of cake, so it wasn’t that important to them. They found a craigslist ad by a person fresh from culinary school who said she’d make a three-layer cake that would serve 100 guests for $120. It looked absolutely horrid! Thankfully Joy and Alec found the awful cake to be hilarious. When it tasted as bad as it looked, Joy told her dad and a friend to chuck it into the dumpster.
Finally, Joy hired Hope Perkins to turn one of their engagement photos into a painting. Joy gave that to Alec as a surprise gift on the wedding day.
What a fabulous wedding.






























Golly, could this wedding BE any more fun?! Joy looked gorgeous!
Wow this couple is adorable! They look like a ton of fun. Pity about their cake but I am glad they didn’t mind too much!
Fabulous! It was a blast!
I certainly enjoyed every minute. We love Alec and his family and are very happy that we all got married to each other! Love, Mom (Joy’s)
Awesome, haha!
What a fun filled time we had at the wedding and we are so blessed to have Joy and her family become wonderfully connected to our family. Love Cindy Mom (Alec)
A perfect “Joy” wedding!!! Great photos too.
Why on EARTH are they throwing out that cake?!
I love Whitney! The wedding couldn’t have been more perfect! Trust me, the cake tasted AWFUL.. group consensus. It also looked much worse than it does in the photos. Whitney is so good she makes horrible look fantastic.
What a fantastic wedding. I love all of the amazing and unique details. It looks like it was a blast and the images you captured are stunning.
whoa, these are amazing!!! I can’t wait until MAY!!! xo
Where ever did you get that dress? It is just what I am looking for!
@Kristen: I purchased it from unbridaled. It is in their bridesmaid collection made by Siri. I had them cut it in white, and then I had it altered from a halter top to two straps. The jacket is separate and I purchased that from etsy seller holly stalder, who custom made it. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5097725
aw they must have changed their inventory because i cant find a dress that looks even close to yours…that sucks its almost perfect for what im looking for!
