Lost in thought...


This was something I had never seen before....Kate's father took a photo of her with his phone 20 seconds before they walked down the aisle...I love the contrast between how he is taking a photo and she is obviously nervous...

<b>Jennifer + David Wedding |</b> Congregation Shearith Israel + Dallas Women's Museum http://www.brooksblog.com/index.cfm?postID=364 http://www.brooksblog.com/index.cfm?postID=364 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:14:00 GMT



Jennifer gets makeup applied...


Jennifer's (cool!) dress...

Waiting for the time to leave...


One last toast....


One the bus...


The Flower Girl was NOT happy about the headpiece...


David getting a shave...


Not sure what is happening here, but it is funny...


Getting some help with the tie...


At the Synagogue, the Rabbi signs the Ketubah...


David reacts after he signs...


David, his father and Jennifer's father walk together to see the girls for the Badecken (veiling) ceremony...



Now, we were told that David was "emotional" and so I was waiting to see what would happen...As the guys walked into the room, David put his head down and teared up (as well as Jennifer's father on the right)...In this photo, David has not seen Jennifer yet (He put his head down, then looked up after he was in the room)...


Then he lifted his head and opened his eyes to see Jennifer....


The Badecken (veiling) ceremony...


The Chuppah...


Now this is an interesting story...apparently, Jennifer and David met in this same Synagogue when they were young (think 10 years old or so)...they were sitting in seats in church, and David commented on Jennifer's hair....Jennifer was sitting in this specific seat at the time...Which was left empty during the ceremony...


Jennifer and her father walk down the aisle...


Jennifer walks the Seven Circles around David...


Great look during the ceremony....


Love this shot from the back of Leigh's ....
