Kathy & Ed's wedding

This past weekend we were blessed with two weddings. On Friday we had Ed & Kathy Healy's wedding and on Saturday we had the afternoon wedding of Jon & Stacey Crego (I will post a preview of their wedding tomorrow).
Today I wanted to highlight Ed & Kathy's wedding. I have known Kathy for about 2 years now. She was a bridesmaid in a wedding we shot in the summer of 2006. Since then she has been in contact with us about her wedding. She was in another bridal party in the spring of 2005, where we got to know her even better. It wasn't until a few months ago that I got introduced to Ed. This Friday we got to witness the spark between these two lovebirds. Kathy was a radient bride while Ed was all smiles! We started off the day split up. I met the girls at Kathy's house for a few hours while they got ready, and Isaac met the boys while they got ready. With such a large bridal party (24 in total) it was nice to have that relaxed time to get to know everyone beforehand.
Their ceremony took place at St. Mary's church in Oswego. There were the most beautiful flowers hanging off the sides of the pews. Kathy Added a nice touch to the wedding by hiring the Syracuse Scottish Pipe band to play outside the church before and after the ceremony. They were great to listen to. After the ceremony we headed off to Breitbeck park to take some fun shots of the bridal party. What a crazy bridal party, you two have great friends! We were lucky enough to not have any bad weather during the photos.
Next we were off to the reception at the American Foundry... the same place Isaac and I had our wedding reception more than 3 years ago. I just gotta say... what a spread! The Foundry, with help from Maidas Florist, created one of the most spectacular reception rooms ever! It was magical. I am so happy I stopped by the Foundry before the ceremony because I was able to get some amazing shots of the room all decorated before it got all messed up.
The reception started with a grand procession lead by the Syracuse Scottish Pipe Band. Ed made a toast to their friend who died a few years ago. There wasn't a dry eye in the room after he was done... including myself (I'm quite an emotional person).
We had a wonderful time at the reception. Kathy did an amazing job planning all the little details. They had a huge wedding with over 350 guests with amazing food, drinks, and music by The Critics (A high-energy band I highly recommend). Thanks for having us document your day guys. We will always remember of your wedding. The photos will be up within 10 days, Until then enjoy these preview photos. Have a wonderful time in Aruba!
