jordy & jocelyn: married

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

this wedding holds an extra special place in my heart, not only because the couple is amazing, but because the ceremony was held in the church i attended as a young girl.  it was so neat to be back inside the sanctuary with the wooden pews and the big windows…lots of memories here.  i may or may not have been surprised by my first kiss in a sunday school room closet.

i love the look on jordy’s face when he saw jocelyn for the first time.  he kept saying throughout the day “how in the world did i get a bride this beautiful?”  so great.

i loved having the privilege of watching you two walk into this new life together.  all the best!

vintage greenhouse wedding: chad & emilie

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

ok.  chad & emilie. so i may or may not have been privy to the fact that these two were going to tie the knot this summer slightly before it was official.  i may or may not have received a message that said “do you have these dates free?  because there might be en event we would like you to attend on one of these dates”.  and i may or may not have been absolutely, ridiculously over the top giddy with anticipation knowing that i got to hang out with these two on one of the most important days of their lives.

now enough with the may or may nots.  here’s what i know for certain: chad and emilie were meant for each other.  so totally perfect fit kind of material here.  chad is kind and and intelligent and incredibly gifted and always “stoked” about something.  emilie is beautiful and sweet and joyful and even though she’s probably the purist person on earth, has a way of saying normal things in a funny voice that makes them sound kinda dirty (it’s amazing).  as individuals they make me smile.  as a couple, they make me beam.  they both have huge hearts and love to serve.  and they are so smitten with each other – it’s just written all over their faces.  so you know you don’t even want to get me started on their day…i just need to stop talking and show you the goods.

chad & emilie chose to reserve the wedding party for family, but wanted to include a larger group of friends, so we had them meet us to take a few pictures before the ceremony.

thank you for including me – i honestly loved every moment.

alison & duncan: still married.

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

the reason this is my favorite part of the wedding day is because it’s usually the most chill/emotionally intense moment for the couple. especially if the pictures were done ahead of time.  now they’re really married.  and the stress of the ceremony and standing up in front of all of those people is over.  and they’re on the verge of the biggest party they’ve ever hosted and all the work is done (or at least now someone else is doing it!).  mostly, though, it’s the love.  the love is thick.  and i get to be the luckiest person on earth for just a moment because i get to witness it.

you were all so lovely and gracious…thanks for inviting me into your day!

alison & duncan: married part 2

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

if you didn’t see the first post from this lovely day, be sure to skip back.  it’s too cute to miss.

one of the delightful bonuses of having a second shooter is that while i was taking the picture of alison below, chad was capturing duncan’s expression from another angle.

this wedding party was so so fun.  i’ve been a part of some strange conversations in my lifetime, but some of the sound bites from these guys were pretty hysterical.  i wish i could share, but alas, i’ve been sworn to secrecy.  and this is a family show 🙂

duncan is into words. you should check out his blog.  alison decided to play a little trick on him by manipulating him into saying a word that he hates.  i had never seen duncan embarrassed before.  but now i have.  good one, mrs. priebe.

the ceremony was sweet and simple and beautifully lit as the sun set behind the couple through the walls of the greenhouse.

stay tuned for my most favorite part of the wedding day!
