University of Toledo Wedding Reception – Sheri and Mark

University of Toledo Wedding Reception – Sheri and Mark

Sheri and Mark had a small destination wedding in Portland Maine over this year’s Memorial Day Weekend. On June 14th, they had a beautiful day for their University of Toledo wedding reception. It was the very first wedding held at the new Koester Alumni Pavilion on the Sullivan Plaza at the Glass Bowl. The guests were comfortably seated under a tent for dinner, and the hors d’oeuvres and drinks for cocktail hour were located in the pavilion. Their Maine beach style wedding reception included a clam bake and lobster shaped frosted cookies. Decorations included a sketch of the “Plans of Portland” and many of their photos from their wedding ceremony photographer Emily Delamater. They creatively used many items from their own home as decorations. They used an entryway table for the guest book and folding doors to hold the seating cards. The wine that was served was chosen for their wedding during a recent trip to Judd’s Hill Winery in Napa Valley. Here are some photos showing the details of their University of Toledo wedding reception. I arrived early and they were still decorating, so some of the photos show the progression of how things were arranged.

Velvet Jones kept the party going all night long.

To add to all of the fun, Sheri and Mark also had my Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth at their University of Toledo wedding reception! Some of the backgrounds were taken in Maine specifically for their home reception. One was an image of them from their wedding. The guests had so much fun posing with them! We created one of the backgrounds using their stationary logo.

But the best part about having Sheri and Mark’s wedding reception at the Alumni Pavilion was we had access to the Glass Bowl for photos!

Tamara and Bobby’s Destination Wedding by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Tamara and Bobby were married at St. Mary on the Lake in Manitou Beach, Michigan on July 9, 2011. They are true high school sweethearts. I have been photographing Bobby and his family for years and was very honored when they asked me to be part of their special day.

My day started by getting some images of the bride getting ready.
Then we headed into the sanctuary for some fun and formal photos.
Don’t worry, I did manage to get some of the groom as well.
Their traditional marriage ceremony was beautiful.
After the Bridal Party Recessional, we headed back into the church for some more photos of the newlyweds and family portraits.
Then it was off to Devil’s Lake Golf Course for some more photos and a little bit of golf.

The bridal party mode of transportation to the reception was the family’s pontoon boat, so we headed to their cottage and took a few images before they departed.
Then it was off to the reception at Devil’s Lake Yacht Club, or so they thought! The boat didn’t start!
Turns out, someone, and I won’t name names, left the boat’s battery on all night and so they replaced the battery. Then they really did take off to the reception under the tent at the Yacht Club.
On the way to the reception, the bride ditched her vail and traded it for a new headpiece.
Here are a few images I managed to capture of the reception while waiting for the newlyweds and wedding party to arrive.
After the Bride and Groom finished their first meal as husband and wife, we sneaked out onto the grounds of the Yacht Club for more photos while their guests finished dinner.
It was then back into the tent for more of the wedding festivities, including the couples first dance.
The musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the Toledo local band Skoobie Snaks, and everyone had a great time dancing to them.
When the sun began to set, we sneaked out of the reception one last time for some more photos down by the water.
Later in the evening, the groom and his groomsmen jammed while part of the band was taking a well deserved break.
Even though it was probably the hottest day of they year, it was a beautiful and fun wedding and I enjoyed being part of it. Congratulations Tamara and Bobby from Kurt Nielsen Photography. May you have a long and happy life together!

Nina and Jeff’s 3rd Wedding Anniversary by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Nina and Jeff were married in the beautiful Marian Chapel at the Church of the Gesu on the grounds on John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio on November 11, 2008. Their elegant wedding reception was held at the Ritz Carlton in Cleveland that evening. I was very honored to be able to photograph their Cleveland destination wedding. Today is their 3rd wedding anniversary and to help them celebrate, here are a few images from their special day.
Congratulations Nina and Jeff on your 3rd Wedding Anniversary from Kurt Nielsen Photography. May you have many more joyous celebrations to come.
