Ok, here we go. Be forewarned: there are 70 photos to follow. And these are just a tiny portion of all the photos I took! Most of you know how terrified I was to do this, but it turned out that I had a BLAST! Thank you, bro, for trusting me with your mostest important pics!
A few I took of the bride and groom separately the weekend before the wedding…
Beth cannot take a bad photo to save her life. You just point the camera at her and she’s immediately perfect!
Naturally, these ones at the bar are my absolute fave!
My dear brother…
John is a car enthusiast, and this Mustang is his baby…
Their darling son Dylan at the rehearsal…
Remember what I said about just pointing the camera at her? Grrr…
A celebratory scotch…
Getting ready on the big day…
Dylan and my Alex were ringbearers. Alex was pretty nervous!
The wedding was in the bride’s mother’s backyard, which was transformed into a scene from the beach, complete with boardwalk…
Mother of the bride was also matron of honor…
For a few minutes there, I was a little worried about John…
But then he assured me that he was ok…
Love mom in the background of these. How she stood up there and did not cry through the whole thing, I have no idea!
They had the coolest sand ceremony that they did instead of a unity candle. Beach wedding, after all!
Alex was not a happy camper after his part was done…
Mr. and Mrs. Tiftickjian! Beth danced down the boardwalk to “Another One Bites the Dust.”
A kiss from mom…
The dads are now family…
The happy couple!
Seriously the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen…
He’s my son, so I had to get a few of him 
The best man made his toast with an entire bottle of Wild Turkey, the drink of choice for him and the groom…
Beth was a sport and held her drink high, even when Colin was telling her that she had to cook for John every night…
My absolute favorite of my brother…
I could tell they were both considering a cake fight…
But they saved it for the groom’s cake!
They did the traditional crossed arm champagne, then looked at each other with twinkling eyes. John said “1, 2, 3!” and they both chugged the whole glass. They are so cute together!
How perfect is this light for the first dance??
Dylan didn’t like being left out, so he kicked sand on them as they danced…
To me, this picture sums up the feelings of every father of the bride on her wedding day. You can just see his wish for her future in his eyes…
Beth’s brother couldn’t stay out of the cocktail umbrellas…
This is how John got Dylan to smile…
So that I could catch this…
And this…
I talked Beth into one more pose before she changed out of her wedding dress…
I love these photos of John, his best man, and his bro-in-law (my hubby), because they are so goofy, and that is so THEM!
Love the cigar smoke in this one…
A few details…
The wedding was perfect, tropical, and everything John and Beth. Huge congratulations, dear brother! You did it!!
Cheers!
