Year after year I witness couples planning their wedding day and dealing with all the worries that comes it. What colors should the guys vest be? Should their be a vegetarian dish?  Should we let cousin Jimmy bring a “plus one”? Sure…I get it. But after the color schemes have been picked and all of those decisions have been made, a couple really needs to celebrate on their big day. Sometimes with all of the planning and worrying about details, Bride and Grooms forget to enjoy themselves. Sure…wedding days should be fun. So, when Katie & Ryan told us about their wedding day plan to make a pit-stop at the Biergarten for beer and photos before their wedding photos at Riverstone Manor, I knew that they had the right idea. We even had a cardboard cutout of one of a Groomsmen that couldn’t make it due to his military duties. Yes, it did creep me out at first, but after awhile he was just part of the party (wait…did I just call the cardboard cutout “he”?). With a day that started with pouring rain we loved that our couple and their friends and family still enjoyed this great day!
