The 16 foot ice bar carved from a single block of ice. Guests strolled up to the bar and ordered their drinks on this work of art. The last time this ice bar was created by the artist was for President Carter. But don’t set your drink on it, it will end up on your new black leather shoes that you just bought to photograph wedd……….nevermind.
The couple’s initials were carved into the ice bar in gold
The ice bar was delivered with eight champagne chillers, four on each side

My second and third photographers for this wedding, photojournalists Miriam and Melonie. Their help was an absolute must at this challenging wedding. I could not have done half of what we did without them.
