So many unique and interesting choices that Karen & Daniel made for their day with a first look, a bubble tunnel, a first dance, a lasso ceremony and a big group of 25 guests to celebrate with them. Not only that, Karen had the most fabulous shoes - watch for them in the photos.
*Oh and it was one of my team officiants facilitating this one - meet Officiant Corin!
Their gallery shows what they chose to do at the amphitheater to spark ideas for your own day…
Sweet First Look
There’s a forest meadow spot near the amphitheater that’s great for a first look, so that’s how Karen & Daniel started just before their ceremony, then lots of photos to capture their connection and that first look glow.
Full Processional
There are three processional paths into the amphitheater and they chose the main staircase. Their processional had a traditional feel, with Daniel with his mom, then ring bearer and flower girl, then Karen with her father.
Classic Seating
They chose the standard setup at the amphitheater, with the two of them onstage for the ceremony and their guests seated on the built-in stone benches.
Lasso Ceremony
Our couples have a wide range of styles - from non-spiritual to spiritual-but-not-religious to religious. Karen & Daniel chose to have a traditional Catholic lasso ceremony, with their sisters bringing up a rosary made specially to place over the couple and symbolize their bond. It made the ceremony so special and is a great example of opportunities for meaningful guest participation.
They Wrote Their Own Vows
Karen & Daniel used my Vow Adventure Kit to write their own vows, then read them while symbolically connected with the lasso during the ceremony.
Sweet Ring Bearer Moment
Their ring bearer was the sweetest, and he brought the rings up in cool glass pyramid. A great example of how Sunrise Amphitheater is perfect for small weddings, while at the same time you can still have many of the little experiences that you have during a big wedding.
Bubble Tunnel
You can’t throw things at the end of the ceremony that would litter the amphitheater, so Karen & Daniel chose… bubbles! And not only that, a tunnel with their guests lined up on either side blowing bubbles. Super fun.
Romantic First Dance
These two choreographed a first dance and wowed everyone with it right after the ceremony and bubble tunnel.
Purple Wildflowers
In their “just-the-couple” photos at the end, they made the most of a meadow of purple wildflowers - one of the perks of Sunrise Amphitheater in the spring and sometimes as late as the summer.
Family Photos
As always, Sunrise Amphitheater is the perfect setting for tons of family photos. I included a small sample of those below. Our photographers will take photos of all the various combinations of family members that you want.
Note this is just a few of their photos - if you do a package with us, your gallery will have lots more!
