Kim and Kevin's wedding in Manchester NH was a sight to behold. Not only was their ceremony in one of my favourite chapels (at St Anselm College), but with 11 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids there was enough of a wedding party for a full scale footie (soccer) match on the grounds. I'm pretty sure they would have been up for it too; they weren't exactly the shy and retiring bunch. 

Anyhow, in all seriousness, I was really looking forward to this one. I was introduced to Kim through her big brother Rob, a close school friend of my wife. After attending Rob and Erika's wedding a couple of years ago and witnessing the family traditions shenanigans I was quite sure we were in for a treat. 

Ned graced me with his talented presence on the way up to Manchester and we met with the girls in one of the lovely bridal suites at the Radisson in Manchester. With some pretty incredible light coming in through the giant softbox windows we covered the prep, with the babble of the many bridesmaids in the background and a few quiet moments with Kim's parents.

Following a lovely ceremony at St Anselm, we took the group photos in front of the University buildings before heading back over to the hotel. With some great speeches, including some post it notes messages to Kim's mum and dad from yesteryear, the party got swinging. Half way through the dancing, Kim was stolen away (a family tradition) by her family and brought down the street to a bar for a couple of shots! It looks like she enjoyed the experience and came through smiling. The evening rounded out with a surprise for Kim - perhaps one of Kevin's traditions?

Thanks to Rob and Erika for the recommendation!
