Love is in the air...

So, I've been proofing wedding photos like crazy and thought I'd share a few more with you.  I'm having SO much fun with these!

The church where these two got hitched was so cool because it has all these huge windows across the ceiling letting in a gorgeous sunlight.  In this one, it's almost like God's shining his blessing down upon them.
 
 
 
I sure wish I'd hired a photographer for my wedding who would've had a bit more fun.  I hate traditional.  I love all the "getting ready" shots and have none of my own to remember the day. Boo!

I wish I'd actually taken the time to lace up the back of the dress.  BUT, it might have caused me to miss the wedding!  MAN, there was some major lacing in that thing!  She looked stunning in it, too.
 
 
 

 

Okay, pay close attention to the blog tomorrow!  I'll have a LOVELY Valentine's Day special posted!

Gil and Crystal - 12.6.08

Many of you know I don't do indoor weddings.  AND...even then...I don't agree to many, because I really don't want the pressure of maybe ruining someone's wedding day.  But, I made an exception for this couple, who both happen to work with Josh. 

They promised it would be a super small event...and it was, thank goodness.  AND, they are super nice people who couldn't have made it easier for me.  Plus, I had my trusty assistant DeLisa for backup support!  I figured, why not.  I'd give it a try.

So, here goes.  These are just a tiny bit of my favorites from the day.

It took all of us girls, even the photographers, to cinch up that dress!  We all wanted it to look perfect and it did!
 
 
 
 
 
 
ATTACKING...the best man!
 
These two are sisters.  Can you tell?
 
 

It took us forever to talk him into a first dance!  Talk about dancing shy!
 
AND...they lived happily ever after...

Jason & Jessica 8.22.08

I had the best time photographing the simple wedding of this really cool couple!  I've known Jason for a few years now (he's a friend of Josh's), but rarely get to visit with him.  This was only the second time I've met Jessica.  However, I felt right at home during their wedding.  Did I mention it was simple?

So simple, in fact, it was actually a bit of an elopement.  The only witnesses were Jason's brother, sister-in-law, the pastor, myself, and God.  It was perfect.

No stress...

No guests to entertain...

Just the two of them.  Happy.  In love.  Married.

Yep, it's official you two and here's the pics to prove it!

Be prepared for a massively-major-HUGE post...I totally could not narrow these down!

This one nearly brought me to my knees.  They were sharing a prayer together...just the two of them.

I now pronounce you husband and wife...you may KISS the bride!




I LOVED her dress, by the way...

"Celebrate good times...come on!"

more kissing...


huh?  How'd that get in there?






Have fun in Jamaica you guys!

Jason & Kate - 11.10.07

This is really just a tiny teaser for Jason and Kate who are enjoying the beach in Hawaii right now.  I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding on Saturday and wanted to give a big shout out and congratulations to them both and to their lucky parents! Happy honeymoon, ya'll!  I was only allowed to snap photos before and after the ceremony, which was incredibly hard for me!!!  But, I was still able to get a few great shots!
