Alissa & Ryan wedding!

I seem to have had quite good fortune this summer with getting to document weddings with epic dance floors. Alissa and Ryan's was one such celebration.
I love these two.
I've been enjoying getting to know them over the years at various weddings of their friends where Alissa has been a bridesmaid. There was Maricel and Wes' wedding celebration last summer and Emily and Elliott's celebration the summer before that. I'm still waiting to hear which of their friends is getting married next summer so we can do this again!

There are quite a few moments that stand out from this day. But above all of them, shining like a beacon to the weary wedding photographer, was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in my life. And definitely the greatest I've seen at a wedding celebration. I'm referring to Ryan's childhood friend, Bill, and his outstanding rendition of a classic moment from the very 80's movie, The Lost Boys. Here's the original performance from the movie. I pay tribute to this unusual moment in the slide show with a series of images. You can scroll down to the bottom of this post to see that.

In the meantime, following are a series of my own favorite moments (as usual) from Alissa and Ryan's wedding day. Congratulations you two on a beautiful ceremony and exceptional reception celebration!!
