Seaton Shoots Photography News

When Stacey came to book with us, she knew where her wedding was going to be and what the date would be. She just didn’t have a ring yet. He hadn’t proposed.

She knew what she was looking for and how to go about getting it. She was already in conversations about lighting the reception so it had the right atmosphere. She certainly didn’t come across flakey or odd, so it didn’t seem like I was being lured into an American Muriel’s wedding situation.

I was definitely curious to know how and when this guy Jeff would eventually put her out of her misery! Perhaps over Christmas? He already had an annual family trip to Costa Rica booked, so it wasn’t going to be then. Perhaps New Year’s?

Well, Christmas morning there was a ring on the doorbell over at her parent’s house, and of course there he stood. Stacey was speechless, since she’d just been talking to Jeff in Costa Rica, the night before, on the phone. She couldn’t figure it out! Carrying gifts for everyone, he came into the house and everyone unwrapped. The first gift for Stacey …. well, that was him being there Christmas day … but she first unwrapped a  t-shirt, which is a running joke/theme. The second gift was a bible, with her name inscribed …. only, it wasn’t her name … it was his last name … and this took a moment to register. When she looked up at him, in front of her mom and dad, he then pulled out the small velvety box and asked, “will you be my wife?”

Of course she said yes! On Saturday April 10, 2010 Stacey and Jeff tied the knot at Whitestone Country Inn. Great weather, incredible florals by Lisa Foster and a beautiful bride! All the best to Stacey and Jeff. For all the images visit our web site  www.seatonshoots.com/previews.
