Jessica & Zach were married the last weekend of May, still in the rainy season. I feel sure it rained sometime that day, lol! But it wasn’t raining when we were shooting outside! Yay! I was so excited to photograph Jessica & Zach’s wedding! They are just the sweetest ever! I took Jessica’s senior photos about 5 or 6 years ago and was so crazy about her dimples and crazy curly hair! And meeting Zach, aside from the awesome name (my son’s name!), he is just such a class act. And of course they both photograph dreamily! So they kind of made my job easy
They got ready and had their reception at Staley Farms. The room the girls were getting ready in was so awesome! I am dying about this dress shot And it is such a sweet touch that Jessica had a little heart made out of one of her dad’s shirts to wear inside her dress. I am totally teary just thinking about it.
Jessica also had a photo of her dad on her bouquet. So he was with her walking her down the aisle. Looking at my ring shot, I remember now that it did rain While I was photographing the girls, Mike Tsai was photographing the guys getting ready! So happy! I thought is was so sweet that even though we weren’t doing the bridal photos before the ceremony, Jessica & Zach still wanted to have a moment to see each other so they wouldn’t be so nervous 😉 Super cuties! Oh goodness! The bridesmaids dresses looked great with the flower combo! Holla! I love this shot! Fun bunch I like the angle of my shot from above and then loved Mike’s angle from below! Another favorite! Seriously….you two are so cute I was so excited when I spied this spot near their reception! It took a bit to find it again in the trolley but totally worth it Another favorite A little fun double exposure Awesome grooms cake! Who does this look like? The groom’s brother………OR STIFFLER?!?!?!!?!? HA! We ended the night with a little sparkle fun! I love to play with sparklers Thanks to the helpers too! Hope you weren’t too dizzy Congratulations Mr. & Mrs.
It was another rainy day in May, but I wasn’t a bit worried about Kelly being stressed. Even though they planned to be married outside at the gazebo, Hawthorne house has a great little church as a back up plan. They were going to still try to get married on the lawn but it was quite soggy from all the rain. But we had little breaks in the rain for photos and everything was SO GREEN! Kelly & Ryan’s wedding was so pretty with the purples and little touches of gold. My favorite touch of gold was Kelly’s eyes! She wore a bit of gold glitter eye makeup which was so pretty!!!!! There were so many fun moments and special touches throughout the day! Oh! Look for the cicada photo below! This was during the 17 year cicada appearances! I loved the belt on Kelly’s dress. The perfect added touch! Such a sweet moment with her dad! Hello lovely! While I was hanging with the girls, Nate was shooting the boys getting ready! I always feel like I am in the South when photographing at Hawthorne House! I spied this really pretty area with a lot of greenery and great trees and a little platform and was so excited that Kelly & Ryan didnt mind trekking through a bit of dirt to get there. However if Kelly had known about the loads of cicada’s surrounding the area, she may have changed her mind. Thank goodness we did, they are some of my favorite shots of the day! LOVE! The purple against the green on a cloudy day was super awesome! Everyone was having fun Super love! A little tilt shift fun! I love Nate’s reflection shot here! And just about the time for the ceremony it started raining again. Good thing they moved the ceremony to the church Nate always rocks the ring shots The speeches were awesome. Everyone laughed and some cried An interested thing about Ryan’s best man is that he was filling in for Ryan’s brother who couldn’t be there. As it turned out, he was playing in the College World Series! So the best man made a photo of Ryan’s brother in his baseball gear and put it on a stick so he was represented And they all danced with his “brother” all night long The dance party was awesome! Everyone was ready for some serious dancing and the music was great-Elite Sounds was rocking it! Congratulations Kelly & Ryan!!!!!!!
