Crystal & Ricky

Crystal & Ricky got married at New Life Missionary Baptist Church in Troutman, NC.  Crystal was a beautiful bride, in her White strapless dress embelished with beading and lace and The 9 attendants wore deep midnight blue.

Their wedding reception was at the Civic Center in Statesville, NC. Their downtown location with patio and brick arches was great for their group photos. The little details incorporated throughout were what made this affair great. The beautiful tables and settings, the pilars and fountain cake stand, alternating single Siamese Fighting fish or candle in each table's vase. The beautiful and tasty 4 tier wedding cake, was made by Mary Sherrill of M&D Cakes adorned with blue and white flowers.

 

But the stand out of this reception... The coolest First Dance ever! 

The bride and groom took their place in the center of the dance floor and began their dance to Prince's Adore, slowly swaying to the music. Then scratching... and the music changes to Sugar Hill Gang's Apache (Jump On It) complete with the dance reminiscent to the 1996 Fresh Prince episode. Then scratching... and the GS Boyz's Stanky Leg starts followed closely by cheers from the crowd. Then scratching... and the music changes back to Prince's Adore. The first dance encompased love, admiration and fun and was undoubtably the BEST "First Dance" ever.

Another great moment was the babies doing MJ's Thriller. Michael Jackson is forever popular. Crystal and Ricky are a captivating couple, and we knew that all of their work planning their wedding would amount to a truly unforgettable event. The wedding was definitely a representation of their personalities- fun, loving, unique and energetic.

We were honored to capture their special day and wish them the very best throughout their life as husband and wife.
