An event like no other...  No detail or thought was spared when welcoming Monique into the Isringhausen family!

The evening began by gifting Monique with flowers and a frame. It was a sweet moment for each guest to introduce themselves to bride-to-be and present her with a flower and the groom's framed words of his favorite characteristics of his bride. There were quiet introductions, bursts of laughter, stories told and smiles all around!        After all the guests were introduced, everyone was ushered in to enjoy a beautiful dinner made by Chef Chip Kennedy of Five Flavors. Check out some photos of this amazing food.

This was the first moment we were able to see the couple interact and their love for each other was palpable- the smitten smiles, flirtatious hand holding and joy made it apparent these two had found their other half!     The evening boasted prayers, blessings, and a devotional. Beautifully wrapped gifts were graciously unwrapped. Monique took her time and was truly so thankful for each person's gift. Her smile was permanent throughout the night.           Joyful moments and fun portraitsA lovely evening was capped with the indulgence of cake, socializing, photos and hugs goodbye. It was our pleasure to capture the Bridal Shower for this couple. We have been blessed to work with these families several times over the years and everyone is always appreciative and kind. We wish the new couple enough love to fill a thousand lifetimes.         Thank you for choosing Chris Withers Photography to capture your event. It was an amazing experience we will always talk about.
